Board marker

IV. Procedure
A. Preparation
Greet the students and then ask them to seat properly.
Checking of attendance
B. Motivation
Show an illustration and ask the students what they observe on it. Let them guess what will
be lesson today.
C. Lesson Proper
Basic terms are defined as the Birds-eye-view of the lesson that will be teaching. It gives
some brief information about the particular lesson.
Goals or Expectations are the expected learning outcomes at the end for the students.
There are 7 Alphabet of lines that students must understand and should able to identify.
These are;
Visible Line - thick dark solid (unbroken) lines that are used on drawings to indicate the
edges and details of an object.
Hidden Line – thin dashed lines used to indicate a surface, edge, or contour of an object
that can be seen.
Center Line – used to indicate the center of symmetrical features, such as circle or arcs.
Section Line – used in sectional views to symbolize different parts of an object or different
materials from which an object is manufactured.
Dimension Extension Lines – used for dimensioning purposes.
Break Lines – used to shorten a view, or to eliminate repetitive details when an entire view
is not necessary.
Phantom Lines – thin line used to indicate alternate positions of moving parts, lines of
motion, adjacent parts and repetitive details.
 D. Activity

Identication. The teacher will show a picture and let the students identify what is being
presented. (1-7)

E. Generalization
The Lines in the Alphabet of Lines are used to describe shape, size, hidden surfaces,
interior detail, and alternate positions of parts. Each of lines conveys a particular meaning
on the drawing.

F. Evaluation.

Read and interpret the given figure below. Identify the numbered lines used ( 1– 15) to
draw the object. Place your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

V. Assignment
Read about Theories And Principles Of Orthographic Projection
