Lesson Plan for Senior Secondary 1 - Technical Drawing - Board Practice, Title Block And Border Line

Sure, here is a lesson plan for a Technical Drawing class for Senior Secondary 1 students on the topic "Board Practice, Title Block, and Border Line": --- ### Lesson Plan: Technical Drawing #### Topic: Board Practice, Title Block, and Border Line #### Grade Level: Senior Secondary 1 #### Duration: 2 hours --- #### Objectives: 1. Students will understand the importance of board practice in technical drawing. 2. Students will learn how to correctly layout and create a title block. 3. Students will understand the significance of border lines and how to draw them accurately. 4. Students will practice and improve their technical drawing skills. #### Materials Needed: - Drawing boards - T-squares - Set squares - Mechanical pencils (preferably 0.5mm for fine lines) - Drafting paper or vellum - Erasers - Rulers - Compass - Protractor - Title block templates (optional) #### Lesson Outline: **Introduction (15 minutes)** 1. **Welcome and Attendance (5 minutes)** - Greet students and take attendance. 2. **Lesson Overview (10 minutes)** - Introduce the topic and explain the importance of this foundational skill in technical drawing. - Briefly discuss what a title block and border lines are and their importance in professional and academic drawings. **Main Instruction (60 minutes)** 1. **Board Practice (20 minutes)** - Quick demonstration on how to properly set up the drawing board and tools. - Explain the correct posture and hand positioning for effective drawing. - Tips on maintaining neatness and precision in technical drawings. - Practice session where students set up their boards and familiarize themselves with the tools. 2. **Title Block (20 minutes)** - Explain the components of a title block (e.g., student name, drawing title, scale, date, and approval signature). - Demonstrate how to draw a title block to scale on a drawing sheet. - Provide common dimensions for title blocks and let students choose which fits best on their paper. - Practice session: Students draw their title block on their paper, following the demonstrated format. 3. **Border Lines (20 minutes)** - Explain the purpose of border lines and standard widths for different applications (such as 10mm from the edge for outer borders). - Demonstrate how to draw consistent, clean border lines using rulers and set squares. - Show how to ensure that border lines are straight and parallel to the edges of the paper. - Practice session: Students draw border lines around their drawing paper. **Practice and Application (30 minutes)** 1. **Combined Practice (30 minutes)** - Students draw both title block and border lines on a clean sheet. - Circulate around the classroom to provide individual guidance and feedback. - Encourage students to ask questions and help each other. **Conclusion (15 minutes)** 1. **Review and Q&A (10 minutes)** - Recap key points on board practice, title blocks, and border lines. - Answer any remaining student questions. 2. **Assignment (5 minutes)** - Assign students to complete a technical drawing that includes a title block and border lines as homework. - Provide a sample diagram or object for practice to be drawn to scale. 3. **Wrap Up** - Collect all practice sheets if needed for assessment. - Thank students for their participation and remind them of the next class topic. --- #### Assessment: - Evaluate students based on the neatness, accuracy, and completeness of their title blocks and border lines. - Review homework to ensure proper understanding and application of the techniques taught. #### Notes: - Encourage students to bring their own drawing kits to every class. - Consider pairing students for peer review of practice drawings. ---
