### Lesson Plan for Technical Drawing: Revision of Isometric Circles
#### Class Information:
- **Grade Level**: Senior Secondary 2 (SS2)
- **Subject**: Technical Drawing
- **Duration**: 1 hour 30 minutes
#### Lesson Topic:
- Revision of Isometric Circles
#### Lesson Objectives:
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
1. Understand the concept of isometric drawing and isometric projection.
2. Draw circles in isometric views accurately.
3. Apply isometric circle drawing techniques to solve practical problems in technical drawing.
#### Materials Needed:
- Drawing board
- T-Square
- Set square
- Compass
- Pencils (2H and HB)
- Eraser
- Isometric grid paper
- Ruler
- Protractor
#### Lesson Outline:
1. **Introduction (10 minutes)**
- Greet the students and take attendance.
- Recapitulate what isometric drawing is.
- Explain the objectives and importance of the lesson on isometric circles.
2. **Review of Isometric Projection (15 minutes)**
- Definition and characteristics of isometric projections.
- Examples and real-life applications of isometric drawing.
- Discuss the importance of isometric circles in technical drawings, particularly in engineering and architectural designs.
3. **Basic Principles of Isometric Circles (15 minutes)**
- Explain the illusion of a circle as an ellipse in isometric drawing due to the 30-degree angles.
- Discuss the methods of drawing isometric circles: the four-center method and using isometric ellipse templates.
4. **Step-by-Step Drawing of Isometric Circles (20 minutes)**
- Detailed demonstration on the board:
1. Start by drawing an isometric square.
2. Locate the mid-points of the sides of the square.
3. Use these points to draw arcs with a compass to form an ellipse.
- Emphasize accuracy in using the compass and constructing the ellipses.
5. **Hands-On Practice (25 minutes)**
- Provide grid paper and necessary materials to each student.
- Assign a task: Draw isometric circles within given dimensions on the isometric grid paper.
- Move around the classroom to assist students with any difficulties they might encounter.
6. **Application Exercise (10 minutes)**
- Present a real-life component (e.g., a mechanical part, or architectural element) that includes isometric circles.
- Ask students to create an isometric drawing of the component, focusing on the circles.
7. **Question and Answer Session (5 minutes)**
- Open the floor for any questions and clarify doubts regarding the process of drawing isometric circles.
- Provide additional hints and tips for improving their techniques.
8. **Summary and Assignment (5 minutes)**
- Summarize the key points learned in the lesson.
- Assign homework that involves drawing complex objects with isometric circles for further practice.
- Share useful resources or references for additional study.
#### Homework Assignment:
- Prepare a set of technical drawings involving different shapes including isometric circles and submit in the next class.
#### Assessment:
- Monitor students’ practice drawings for accuracy and completeness.
- Evaluate their grasp of both the conceptual understanding and practical application through their in-class exercises and homework.
#### Extension Activity:
- For advanced students, introduce CAD software and provide a tutorial on drawing isometric circles using computer-aided design tools.
