Lesson 2
Core learning objectives
Using skills taught during this lesson pupils will develop their ability to express an idea by drawing freehand in isometric. They will further extend their knowledge and understanding of materials and their properties in relation to the manufacturing processes required for this project. They will also establish a corporate identity for expressing their ideas as design ideas and examples.
Extended learning objectives
More able pupils will be expected to develop their skills of communication using freehand isometric sketches in different ways. For example, differing views of an object, exploded and sectional views.
SEN learning objectives
Using templates and guides those pupils requiring support will be able to trace examples of drawings in order to become familiar with the concept of three dimensional representation using isometric projection. These pupils will also be provided with example design sheets to which they will be able to add further ideas
Lesson context
To ensure that all pupils are able to provide designs of their chosen idea to a standard capable of being understood by a third party and being presented in a way that reflects an acceptable style of presentation. Through further information on materials and their properties they will be more able to provide an idea that can be made using available resources.
Lesson structure
(Pre-lesson planning) Prepare templates for SEN pupils, prepare experiments, brief SSA's
- Explain the lesson and the resources available.
- Provide a demonstration of how to develop a simple freehand isometric drawing to the whole group. Include in the demonstration a corporate style for the presentation of work at this stage.
- Ensure that any SSA's available to the class are fully aware of what is required of them so that they are able to take any SEN pupils for a group demonstration using templates provided. Pupils work with the SSA stage by stage in order that a drawing is produced.
- If SSA not available set core and extended pupils an exercise in preparing a freehand isometric drawing whilst ensuring that SEN pupils receive further support.
- If SSA available set task for core and demonstrate to extended group exploded and sectional freehand isometric.
- Check understanding of core group.
- Group discussion on materials and their properties. Using a range of materials set up a series of tests which demonstrate what will happen to the materials under certain conditions. Heating, Wasting, Joining, Bending, Combining. Group the pupils and ask each group to provide a report on which materials they would use for making a screwdriver and why.
- Report back.
- Homework. (take each group in turn and explain whilst other two groups are writing their lesson evaluation). Leave 5 min for teacher's own evaluation at the end. Explain that their evaluation is part of their overall project grade. They must explain what they have learned during the lesson.
- Pupil and teacher lesson evaluation.
Equipment and materials
- A range of materials available for the manufacture of their screwdriver.
- Experiments for testing.
- Templates for isometric drawing and corporate style for presentation of drawings.
- Handouts. Homework briefs.
Homework
Using the skills learned during the lesson on isometric drawing they are to develop a series of ideas for the design of a screwdriver which is to match an identified context.
