PREVIOUS LEARNING
KNOWLEDGE
The students have been given
a sampling course of technical
graphics.
The students in this class were
drawn from several sampling
groups. Thus some students
knowledge is fresher than
others
The students have a basic
knowledge of shapes
The students know the uses
and names of their equipment.
The students know how to line
out a page.
SKILLS
The students know how to use
T-square properly
The students have basic skills
in controlling line weights
The students are able to use
there compass competently
and accurately
The students are able to use
set squares and sliding set
squares

AIMS LEARNING OUTCOMES

1.to improve students knowledge of what instrument to

use for what application including what H pencil to use.
1.to improve student use
2.to teach students how to care for clean and sharpen
of graphacy tools
their instruments and the best ways to do each.
3.to make each student a more competent draftsman.

2.to improve students
draftsman ship
3.to get to know the
students
4 for the students to gain a
full understanding of
polygons
5.to gain a thorough
understanding of plan
elevation end view
Students will be better able to regulate their pencil
weights.
Students will be able to complete their exercises with
significantly less redundant lines and ends
They will be able to maintain and produce overall
cleaner and more accurate drawings.
Students will be more comfortable in the class room
environment
It will be easier to communicate with students when you
know all their names.
The students will learn more if the exercises are linked to
predominant interests of the class grope
Students will know all the properties of regular
pentagons
Students will be able to construct any regular polygon
Students will be able to construct polygons given
constraints or limited information
For students to be able to correctly pick out the correct
faces of an object that relate to plan elevation end view
For the students to be able to set out a question
properly on a page
For the students to know and be able to carry out all the
methods needed in this chapter

STRATERGY
I intend to give homework questions that contain new words
LITERACY and their explanations. The use of entomology as a
remembering aid. Word wall. spiral curriculum on new
STRATEGIES vocabulary.
NUMERACY Set questions with some measurements missing that have to be
figured out before they can draw. Mental mathematics based on
STRATEGIES questions carried out orally in class.

ORACY Back to back drawing exercises. Socratic seminar. Oral

walkthrough of questions first. Oral presentations of homework
STRATEGIES on occasion by students.
Emphasis on core skills development. Neatness and
GRAPHICACY draftsmanship skills encouraged in class. Sketching practice as
students asked to rough sketch answer before drawing it to
STRATEGIES improve visualization and sketching skills.

DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES
Gender Inclusion Gender neutral questions where possible. Evenly distributed
class no enclaves of gender. Balanced male female orientated
 questions.
A co-operation between students the students who are strong/
Mixed Ability fast in one are help those that are struggling in this area once
they finish their work. Bank of extra questions at each level
Teaching kept on hand so strong students can engaged in more
Strategies drawings without pulling ahead of students that are struggling
with the chapter/area.
