Collect Info: Think about- 1.What is the purpose of a school locker? The purpose of a school locker is to hold all of a student’s items within a given school day, including textbooks, binders, notebooks, pencils, and potentially even a backpack during class changes. 2.How has the way you use a locker changed since you first started school in Kindergarten, for example? In Kindergarten and other lower grades I didn’t need to store as many large and heavy things, such as textbooks. It’s more common for younger kids to hold lunches, snacks, or other craft supplies in their lockers or “cubbies.” However, when you’re older you need to hold heavier items such as textbooks, binders, and other books and supplies. 3.How many times do you visit and open your locker each day? I visit my locker twice a day, once to drop off supplies and once at the end of the day to pick up anything I need for homework. 4.Do teachers or school administrators have any safety or security concerns about lockers? What are they? A lot of people leave their locker unlocked during the day because they don’t like having to use a locker combination, therefore lunches and money gets stolen often. 5.What types of materials is your locker constructed from? Lockers are typically made out of metal, but the metal appears to be thin and relatively flexible.
