1. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND OSERVATIONS

Students have completed sectional drawings of various items around a house. The majority of the
students have completed their sectional views to a very high standard. The students have completed
lessons and have knowledge of the parts of a window.

A lot of the students have struggled with scale when drawing in the past, but I now have to say the
students. I have noticed that students are fine with drawing at a scale of 1:10 but they are not as
confident when it comes to drawings at a scale of 1:5.

Students will also need practice across the board with keeping their parallel lines.
