LESSON PLAN IN BASIC DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY :

Technology and Livelihood Education (Draft Tech).

I. OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:

1. Define Drafting
2. Classify common drafting tools and materials
3. Familiarize themselves on these tools and materials.

II . SUBJECT MATTER:

Concept: Drafting
Sub-concept: common drafting tools and materials
Materials: chalk, board and visual aids
Reference Exploratory Drafting by: Julian Esguerra and Elisa Molino pp 2, 23-35
Method: Discussion and Demonstration

III. PROCEDURE:

1.Preparation
a.1. daily class routine, prayer
a.2. checking of attendance and classroom cleanliness 
b. review of the past lesson.

Motivation
“Class, what is the difference between drawing and drafting?” .................... Drawing is a
freestyle way of sketching self-thought ideas.
While drafting on the other hand is drawing precisely and accurately with the use of drawing
instruments. (The teacher will draw something on the board… The first one is a drawing of a
“flower”, while the second one is a “house” drawn in a perspective view.)
“Can you tell me which among these two represents an image done through drawing/drafting?”
 
2.Presentation
 * Teaching Points

Drafting- is the study of the communication of ideas through lines, symbols, codes, drawings,
sketches, charts, graphs, and maps
.
Drawing – is an art of sketching an idea which commonly done through freehand.
 
 Common Drafting Tools and Materials
A. Tools
Pencil
 -the drawing pencil is one of the draftsman’s most important tools categorized by different grades
of hardness and softness.
T-Square 
– it is used for drawing horizontal lines and serves as a guide for triangles when drawing other kinds of lines.

Triangles
 – these are used for drawing vertical and oblique lines. Usually comes in 45° and the 30° x 60°.

Ruler
-is used to draw a straight line.

Triangular Scale 
– also known as “Architect’s Scale”. Its purpose is to reproduce the dimensions
of an object full size on a drawing or enlarge them to some regular proportion.

Lettering Pen or Speedball Pen

- these are used for drawing letters of different styles.

Drawing Compass
 – generally used for drawing arcs and circles.

Dividers
 – are used for dividing lines into any number of equal parts, and transferring measurements and
spacing points or lines.

Protractor
– a semi-circular scale divided into 180 equal parts each of which is called a degree, (
°), and is used for measuring and laying out arcs of circles as well as angles that cannot be measured with the 45°
or the 30° x 60° triangles.

French curve
– this is used for drawing irregular curves.

Erasers
– used to remove smears, pencil or ink lines and other unwanted marks

Erasing shield
 – made up of metal or celluloid with irregular holes. It is useful to protect the rest of the drawing
when making an erasure.
 
B. Materials Drawing Paper Masking or Scotch Tape Pencil Sharpener

3.Application

: Some students will be asked in front to choose one among the drafting tools and materials on
the table and be able to tell to the class the name and function of the specific drafting
tool/material chosen.4.
Generalization
: Summary of the topics as explained.

IV. EVALUATION:
