 A Self-Learning Kit for Grade 7/8 TLE Carpentry is an interactive SLK
designed to meet the needs of the 21st Century learners. It is anchored on a
holistic approach in developing the basic learning competencies in TLE
Carpentry of the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum. The lesson aims to
develop the skills of every students and become a competent one and
promote also the learners to develop their creative thinking.
To the learners, read and follow instructions carefully, Used this SLK as
a basis and instructions for everyday lesson. Answer very well all the
activities, exercises and assessment in this SLK to measure how much you
learned about the topic. Handle this Self-Learning Kit (SLK) with care.
With this SLK, I hope that the learner would be a proficient and skillfully
learned carpentry and ready to compete not only in the local but the whole
world.

 Before we proceed to our main topic class, we have a short
activity here to be accomplished. This activity is related to
the topic we are going to discuss for today. Just sit and relax
and answer it carefully.

Do you have any question regarding our activity class? If there
is no question we may now proceed to our main topic. So, our
topic for today is all about analyze signs, symbols and data.
This lesson containing different symbols and their uses. In
sketching orthographic drawing, certain conventional lines are
used for a definite purpose. This line is commonly called
ALPHABET OF LINES.
Uses of Alphabet Lines:
Construction Line-- A very light line used to “block
in” an object. These lines are made so light that or no
erasing is needed. They serve as base for darkening in the
permanent line.
Borderline-- Heavy solid line used to frame in the
drawing.
Visible line (object line) --A medium line used to
show edges and contours visible to the eye.
Invisible line (hidden line) -- Represents an invisible
surface or edge of a shows the hidden surfaces and
edges of a viewing plane. It is drawn using thin lines and
not visible to the eyes.
Center line--A light line used as axis of symmetry.
Used for center of circle and arcs. Sometimes the symbol
is shown.
Dimension line-- Light thin lines used to show the
sizes of the object. Extension lights start about 1/16” from
visible or object line. The dimension line is broken near
the center for the dimension.
Long break line-- Heavy line draws freehand for the
same purpose as long break.
Phantom line-- Shows the alternate position of the
object.
Extension line-- Indicates the length of the
dimension.

Here are the following examples of alphabet lines

5
 DIRECTION:
Name at least five alphabet of lines and give their
meaning and uses. 5points each.

Your answer here:

A line can be considered as the most fundamental and

important single entity of a technical drawing. It describes the
various features of an object that helps you to interpret what is
illustrated or printed. Through the used of the alphabet lines, it
illustrates and describes the shape of an object.

 DRAW ME:

Direction: Illustrate a box using the different kinds of the

alphabet lines.

RUBRICS FOR SCORING:

95- Used more than 7 alphabets of lines correctly and neatly

90- Used 5-6 alphabet of lines correctly and neatly

85- Used 4 alphabet of lines correctly and neatly

80- Used 2-3 alphabet of lines correctly

75- Used 1 alphabet of lines correctly
