2. Upper Junior Youl Placement Making and Display
I’m not sure if “Youl” is a typo or specific term—did you mean “Yule” (as in Christmas/Yuletide) or “Youth” placement? Or perhaps “tool” placement? If you clarify, I can help more precisely. For now, I’ll cover a couple of possibilities:
a) Yule Placement Making and Display (Christmas-themed project)
- Objective: Create themed table or room placements for the holiday season.
- Materials Needed:

- Design and make festive place cards or small table decorations.
- Use painting, cutting, and assembling techniques to create 3D placements.

- Allow students to explain their designs or the meaning behind them.
