Pre-text


The video begins with an establishing shot of the Willyama High School campus as seen from the air.
Video transitions to opening titles: ‘Why teach Technological and Applied Studies?’.
We are introduced to Daniel who is speaking interview-style to camera. As he speaks, the video shows a montage of scenes from the high school TAS workshop, where Daniel is helping his students using various tools and equipment as they engage in woodwork. A final scene shows a student giving Daniel a fist bump as the class leaves the workshop.

Daniel:


I always wanted to be a high school teacher. So I'm very passionate about what I do, I love industrial arts.
I think in general most students are really willing to give TAS subjects a go. They're quite excited when they enter those courses and start learning a little bit more about things that they might not be previously exposed to.
A goal of mine is to always improve the learning opportunities, especially in TAS where I work. Whether it be new equipment or better teaching strategies, things like that, anything that will enhance and invigorate the TAS faculty, or the school as a whole, is certainly something that I'm very passionate about.
