An instructor's manual and student activity guide on forging are provided in this set of prevocational education materials which focuses on the vocational area of trade and industry (metalworking). (This set of materials is one of ninety-two prevocational education sets arranged around a cluster of seven vocational offerings: agriculture, home economics, distributive education, health occupations, world of work, trade and industry, and office occupations.) The instructor's guide is organized into the following elements: title of activity, duration of activity (seven to ten periods), activity goals, thirteen instructional objectives, related vocational clusters , and activity implementation (description, materials needed, safety considerations, teacher preparation prior to class, during the class, follow-up activities, answer key to student check point activities, and masters for duplication [e.g., student answer sheet and fact sheet]). The student activity guide provides step-by-step instructions (narrative and illustrations) for completing each instructional objective (e.g., forge a chisel shape on a red hot end of metal stock). At the end of each set of instructions is a student check point (evaluation activity). Six occupational descriptions (e.g, die setter, heavy forger) conclude the document. (JH)
