Lesson Plan for Junior Secondary 1 - Basic Tech - rawing Practice: Drawing Instruments And Material

**Lesson Plan for Junior Secondary 1** **Subject:** Basic Technology **Topic:** Drawing Practice: Drawing Instruments and Materials **Grade Level:** Junior Secondary 1 **Duration:** 60 minutes --- ### Objectives: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Identify various drawing instruments and materials. 2. Understand the uses of different drawing instruments. 3. Demonstrate basic skills in using drawing instruments. 4. Create simple drawings using the right tools. ### Materials Needed: - Pencils (HB, 2H, 2B) - Erasers - Drawing Paper - Rulers - Compasses - Protractors - Set squares - Drawing board or Flat Surface - Sharpeners ### Lesson Structure: **Introduction (10 minutes)** 1. **Greeting and Roll Call:** Take attendance and greet the students. 2. **Introduction to the Topic:** - Briefly discuss the importance of drawing in technology. - Explain the objectives of today's lesson. - Spark interest by showing some professional drawings or blueprints. **Main Lesson (40 minutes)** 1. **Identification of Drawing Instruments (10 minutes)** - Present and demonstrate each drawing instrument and material. - Highlight their names and uses. - **Pencils**: Different grades for different shades. - **Erasers**: Essential for correction. - **Rulers**: For drawing straight lines. - **Compasses**: For drawing circles and arcs. - **Protractors**: For measuring and drawing angles. - **Set Squares**: For drawing perpendicular and angled lines. - **Drawing Boards or Flat Surfaces**: As a stable base for drawing. - Allow students to ask questions and handle the instruments. 2. **Application and Practice (30 minutes)** - **Demonstrate Basic Drawing Techniques (5 minutes)**: Demonstrate how to properly hold and use each drawing instrument. - **Guided Practice (10 minutes)**: - Have students practice drawing straight lines with rulers. - Practice drawing circles and arcs using compasses. - Use set squares and protractors to draw angles. - **Individual Practice (15 minutes)**: - Assign a simple drawing task that involves using all the instruments discussed, such as creating geometric shapes (a square, triangle, and a circle). - Walk around the classroom to provide assistance and feedback. **Conclusion (10 minutes)** 1. **Review:** - Recap the instruments and their uses. - Reinforce the importance of neatness and precision in technical drawing. 2. **Assessment:** - Collect and review the students' drawings for basic accuracy and proper use of instruments. - Provide constructive feedback. 3. **Q&A Session:** - Encourage students to ask questions about any difficulties they faced during the practice. - Clarify any misconceptions. 4. **Homework Assignment:** - Assign a simple homework task that involves drawing a more complicated shape or pattern using the instruments learned. **Closing:** - Thank the students for their participation. - Remind them of the next class topic and any preparatory work needed. --- **Assessment Methods:** - Observation during practice sessions. - Review of in-class assignments. - Feedback from Q&A session. - Homework assignment review. --- **Adaptations for Diverse Learners:** - Provide additional support and simplified tasks for students who struggle with fine motor skills. - Offer advanced practice exercises for students who demonstrate quick proficiency. - Use visual aids and step-by-step instructions to cater to visual learners. **Reflection:** - After the class, consider what worked well and what might need improvement for future lessons. - Gather student feedback to gauge their understanding and interest levels. --- This lesson plan should provide a structured approach to introducing Junior Secondary 1 students to basic drawing instruments and techniques in Basic Technology.
