# Lesson Plan: Board Practice 2
## Subject: Basic Tech
## Grade: Junior Secondary 1
## Duration: 40 minutes
### Objectives
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Understand and practice basic board drafting techniques.
2. Use drafting tools and equipment correctly.
3. Draw basic geometric shapes accurately on a drawing board.
4. Demonstrate knowledge of line types and applications in board practice.
### Materials Needed
- Drawing boards
- T-squares
- Set squares
- Compasses
- Drawing paper (A3 size)
- HB pencils
- Erasers
- Rulers
- Protractors
### Lesson Outline
#### Introduction (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Roll Call (2 minutes)**: Greet students and take attendance.
2. **Review of Previous Lesson (3 minutes)**: Briefly recap "Board Practice 1" where they were introduced to the basics of drawing tools and materials.
3. **Introduction to Today's Topic (5 minutes)**: Explain that today's focus is on practicing and refining their board drafting skills, building on what they learned previously.
#### Direct Instruction (10 minutes)
1. **Demonstration of Basic Shapes (5 minutes)**:
- Show how to draw basic shapes (rectangle, triangle, and circle) using a T-square, set square, and compass.
- Emphasize the importance of clean, accurate lines.
2. **Line Types and Applications (5 minutes)**:
- Discuss different types of lines (e.g., construction lines, object lines, center lines, hidden lines) and their uses in technical drawings.
#### Guided Practice (10 minutes)
1. **Group Activity (10 minutes)**:
- Divide students into small groups and distribute drawing materials.
- Each group will draw a simple geometric design that incorporates a variety of shapes and line types.
- Walk around the room to provide assistance and feedback.
#### Independent Practice (7 minutes)
1. **Individual Drawing Task (7 minutes)**:
- Assign students to draw a simple technical object (e.g., a cube or a simple machine part) using the techniques discussed.
- Encourage precision and neatness in their work.
#### Conclusion and Review (3 minutes)
1. **Student Presentations (2 minutes)**: Allow a few students to share their drawings with the class and explain the techniques they used.
2. **Summarize Key Points (1 minute)**: Briefly reiterate the importance of accurate measurements, clean lines, and proper use of drafting tools.
### Assessment
- **Formative Assessment**: Observe students during group and individual practice, providing guidance and feedback.
- **Summative Assessment**: Collect students' drawings at the end of the lesson to review and provide constructive feedback.
### Homework
- Assign students a small drawing project to be completed at home, focusing on the same techniques they practiced in class. They should draw a more complex shape or object and bring it to the next class for review.
### Additional Notes
- Ensure that all students have equal access to drawing materials.
- Encourage students to ask questions and seek help if they are struggling with any concepts or techniques.
- Emphasize the importance of patience and practice in mastering board drafting skills.
### Reflection
- After the lesson, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved. Adapt future lessons based on student performance and feedback.
