### Lesson Procedure:
#### **Introduction (10 minutes)**
1. **Greeting and Roll Call**
- Take attendance and greet the students.
2. **Engage:**
- Show a brief video clip of common accidents in an auto mechanic workshop.
- Ask students to discuss what went wrong in the video and how the accidents could have been prevented.
#### **Body (40 minutes)**
3. **Presentation:**
- **Lecture (15 minutes)**:
- Discuss the importance of accident prevention in the workshop.
- Highlight common accidents (e.g., cuts, burns, chemical spills, falls, machinery accidents) and their potential consequences.
- Explain the general principles of accident prevention: awareness, proper use of tools, correct clothing and protective gear, proper workspace organization, and adherence to safety protocols.
4. **Interactive Activity (10 minutes):**
- **Group Work:**
- Divide students into small groups.
- Each group will be assigned a specific type of accident (e.g., cuts, burns, etc.).
- Groups will brainstorm and list preventive measures for their assigned accident type.
- Each group presents their findings to the class.
5. **Demonstration (15 minutes):**
- **Safety Gear Usage:**
- Demonstrate the proper use of various safety gear, including gloves, goggles, aprons, and helmets.
- **First Aid:**
- Show basic first-aid techniques for common workshop injuries (e.g., how to treat cuts, burns, and how to perform CPR).
#### **Conclusion (10 minutes)**
6. **Review:**
- Summarize key points discussed during the lesson.
- Emphasize the importance of consistently following safety procedures.
7. **Q&A Session:**
- Allow students to ask questions for clarification.
- Provide answers and elaborate on any queries related to accident prevention techniques.
8. **Assessment and Homework:**
- Hand out a worksheet with scenarios for students to identify potential hazards and propose accident prevention strategies.
- Assign as homework to be submitted at the next class.
---
### Assessment:
- **Formative Assessment**: Participation in class discussions and group activities.
- **Summative Assessment**: Evaluation of the homework worksheets for understanding and application of accident prevention techniques.
---
### Reflection:
- **Post-Lesson Review**: Reflect on the effectiveness of the lesson. Identify what worked well and what can be improved for future classes.
- **Student Feedback**: Gather feedback from students about their learning experience and incorporate their suggestions into future lesson planning.
---
### Safety Precautions:
- Ensure demonstration materials are safe for student interactions.
- Monitor students during group activities to prevent any unsafe behaviors.
