| Subject | Design and Communication Technology | Week | 11 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 3 |
| Strand | GEOMETRY | Sub-Strand | PLANE GEOMETRY |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 3.2.1.LO.1 - Use the concepts of plane geometry to construct complex plane geometrical shapes and design different complex artefact based on plane geometrical figures Talk for learning encourages learners to articulate their thoughts, ask questions, and explain concepts to others | ||
| Content Standard | 3.2.1.CS.1 | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 3.2.1.LI.3 - Construct the types of arch and their applications in real life ituation. Initiating talk for learning and Research: With the use of pictures, videos, environmental observation and internet surf engage learners in small groups and in a whole class discussion to come out with the explanation of arches and outline the common types of arches Project- based learning, Activity based learning: Guide the learners individually to design an arch that can be used on the door of a chapel and draw it using appropriate tools and instrument Activity based learning: 1. With their knowledge in blending of circles and lines with arcs help learners through demonstration to draw types of arches using the appropriate drawing instrument. 2. Guide the learners individually to design an arch that can be used on the door of a chapel and draw it using appropriate tools and instrument | ||
| Lesson Focus | Construct the types of arch and their applications in real life ituation. | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Describe the key idea in: Construct the types of arch and their applications in real life ituation. Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What principles and techniques are needed to communicate Construct the types of arch and their applications in real life ituation. Initiating talk for learning and Research: With the use of pictures, videos, environmental observation and internet surf engage learners in small groups and in a whole class discussion to come out with the explanation of arches and outline the common types of arches Project- based learning, Activity based learning: Guide the learners individually to design an arch that can be used on the door of a chapel and draw it using appropriate tools and instrument Activity based learning: 1. With their knowledge in blending of circles and lines with arcs help learners through demonstration to draw types of arches using the appropriate drawing instrument. 2. Guide the learners individually to design an arch that can be used on the door of a chapel and draw it using appropriate tools and instrument accurately? How can drawing/design tools and conventions be applied to produce an effective solution? How can the solution be improved after checking accuracy, function and visual communication? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Demonstration and Guided Practice Experiential Learning Collaborative Learning Project-Based Learning Problem-Based Learning Gallery Walk/Peer Critique where appropriate | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Drawing board/table Drawing paper/sketch pad Pencils Eraser Pencil sharpener Ruler/straightedge Reference drawings/charts Whiteboard/markers Compass Protractor Set squares | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide labelled examples, construction steps, templates/grids and partially completed drawings for learners who need support. Extend advanced learners with more complex forms, tighter design constraints, alternative solutions or additional technical detail. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability groups, teacher demonstration, guided practice and individual studio work. Allow repeated construction/sketching practice and peer critique while maintaining the same curriculum objective. | ||
| Product | Accept appropriate evidence such as freehand sketches, rendered drawings, geometric constructions, patterns, design briefs, models, technical drawings or portfolios. Assess accuracy, proportion, line quality, construction, creativity, application of conventions, problem solving and presentation. | ||
| Success Criteria | Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation. | ||
| Homework | Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Display a relevant artwork, design, performance or visual example from geometry and ask learners to describe what they notice. | Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate how artists or designers use plane geometry, pointing out materials, process, form and meaning. | Observe the example, name visible features and record useful vocabulary. | Ask learners to identify one material, technique, form or meaning from the example. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Guide learners to sketch, plan, perform, annotate or critique a small work connected to plane geometry. | Create, annotate or critique the task outcome while responding to feedback. | Review work for process, creativity, accuracy and explanation. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Ask learners to refine or present their work and explain one decision linked to plane geometry. | Present the refined work and explain the artistic or design decision made. | Use peer comments and teacher questions to check understanding of the concept. |
| Lesson Closure | Summarise plane geometry and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response. | ||
