# Lesson Plan: Drawing of Different Craft Items **Grade**: Primary 1 **Subject**: Cultural and Creative Arts **Duration**: 45 minutes **Topic**: Drawing of Different Craft Items ## Objective - **Students will be able to:** Identify and draw various craft items such as a kite, a boat, and a house. - **Students will understand:** Basic shapes and patterns that are used in creating craft items. ## Materials Needed - Large sheets of drawing paper - Pencils - Erasers - Colored pencils or crayons - Visual aids or sample craft items (e.g., images of kites, boats, houses) ## Lesson Outline ### Introduction (5 minutes) 1. **Greeting and Warm-up**: Begin with a cheerful greeting and invite students to sit in a circle. 2. **Brief Discussion**: Ask students if they have ever created any craft items or seen any. Let them share their experiences briefly. 3. **Introduction to the Topic**: Introduce the topic by showing images of different craft items like a kite, a paper boat, and a simple house drawing. Explain that today, they'll learn how to draw these items. ### Direct Instruction (10 minutes) 1. **Demonstration**: - **Kite**: Show a step-by-step drawing of a kite. Start with a diamond shape and then add the tail and designs on it. - **Boat**: Demonstrate drawing a simple boat using basic shapes like rectangles and triangles. - **House**: Show how to draw a basic house with a square for the main body, a triangle for the roof, and details like windows and a door. ### Guided Practice (15 minutes) 1. **Group Activity**: Divide students into small groups and provide each group with drawing paper and pencils. 2. **Step-by-Step Instructions**: Guide each group through drawing their chosen craft item. Walk around the room to offer assistance and encouragement. 3. **Discussion**: While they are drawing, talk about the shapes and lines they are using. Make connections to everyday objects. ### Independent Practice (10 minutes) 1. **Individual Drawing**: Ask each student to choose one craft item they like from the demonstration and draw it independently on their own sheet of paper. 2. **Coloring**: Once they have finished their drawings, encourage them to color their pictures using the colored pencils or crayons. ### Closure (5 minutes) 1. **Presentation**: Allow a few students to present and explain their drawings to the class. 2. **Review**: Recap the key points of the lesson. Reinforce which shapes they used and how these shapes helped them draw different craft items. 3. **Encouragement**: Praise students for their effort and creativity. Remind them that they can create many more craft items using these basic shapes. ## Assessment - Observe student participation during the group and independent practice. - Review the drawings for understanding of basic shapes and the ability to follow step-by-step instructions. - Provide constructive feedback during the presentation phase. ## Homework/Extension Activity - Ask students to draw another craft item not covered in class, such as a flower or a tree, and bring it to the next class. - Encourage them to notice and draw using basic shapes they learned in class. ## Teacher's Reflection (post-lesson) - Reflect on what went well during the lesson and what could be improved. - Take note of students who may need additional help with drawing and plan for additional support in future lessons.
