Lesson Format: DIRECT INSTRUCTION Activating Learning Strategies ______8____ minutes Activator & Description / Include instructional grouping of students: The instructor will open the lesson by having trainees list tools used for general drawing of shapes and figures. He will make a list on the white board of the trainees suggestions. From the list he will high light, and add if necessary, the basic ones which will be discuss in class.

Teaching New Content Describe Procedures for teaching new content: _____54_____ minutes A. New Content: Presentation, Use of 7 basic instruments/materials. Direct Instruction The instructor will pass out handout which shows diagrams of the seven (7) basic instruments/materials which will be discuss in class. Lecture with power point presentation will be used for each of the seven (7) instruments/materials, while trainees listen and high light notes. Power Point and Handout 1: Use of 7 basic drafting instruments THE T-SQUARE Horizontal lines are drawn with the T-SQUARE, Fig. 1 & 2. It also supports triangles when they are used to draw vertical and inclined lines. The T-square consists of two parts, the head and the blade or straight edge. The head is usually fixed solidly to the blade; however, a T-square with a protractor head and adjustable blade is also available. Clear plastic strips inserted in the blade edge of some T-squares makes it easier to locate reference points and lines. The blade must never be used as a guide for a knife or other cutting tool. If accurate line work is to be done, it is essential that the head of the T-square is held firmly against the working edge of the board.

Tillett 4

It is recommended that the blade be left flat on the board or suspended from the hole in its end. This will keep warping or bowing of the blade to a minimum.

SET SQUARES (TRIANGLES) When supported on the T-square blade, the 30-60 deg. and 45 deg. TRIANGLES, Fig. 4, are used to draw vertical and inclined lines. They are made. of transparent plastic

Tillett 5

and are available in a number of different sizes. To prevent warping, the triangle should be left flat on the drawing board when not being used. Angles of 15 and 75 deg. can be drawn by combining the triangles. To draw vertical lines accurately, rest triangle solidly on the T-square blade while holding the T-square head firmly against the working edge of the drawing board fig.5. Setsquares are available in various heights, e.g., 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches, and 12 inches.

PROTRACTORS A PROTRACTOR, Fig. 6, is used to measure and lay out angles on drawings. They are usually made of clear plastic and may be either circular or semicircular in shape. The degree graduations are scribed or engraved around the circumference of the protractor. When measuring or laying out an angle, place the center lines of the protractor at the point of the required angle as shown in Fig. 6. Read or mark the angle from the graduations on the circumference of the tool.

Fig. 6 COMPASS In drafting, circles and arcs are drawn with a COMPASS, Fig. 7. For best results the lead should be adjusted so that it is about 1/32 in. shorter than the needle. Both legs will be the same length when the needle penetrates the paper. Fit the compass with lead that Is one grade softer than the pencil used to make the drawing. The lead must be kept sharp. Several attachments are available for use with the compass. To set the compass to size, draw a line on a piece of clean scrap paper and measure off the required radius. Set the compass on this line. Avoid setting a compass on a scale. "Sticking" the compass needle into the scale will eventually destroy its accuracy. You will probably use a circle template instead of a compass.

DRAFTING PAPER (DRAFTING MEDIA) Drawings are made on many different materials - paper, tracing vellum, film, etc. A heavyweight opaque paper that is white, buff or pale green in color is used in many school drafting rooms. While this paper takes pencil lines well, it is difficult to erase because the pencil point makes a depression in the paper when a line is drawn. If this material is used, take special care to prevent mistakes. Industry make much use of vellum and film because reproductions or prints must, be made of all drawings. Drawing media is available in either sheet or roll form. Standard sheet sizes are identified by letter size: A - 8 1/2 x 11 or 9 x 12 (The one we will be using) B - 11 x 17 or 12 x 18 C - 17 x 22 or 18 x 24 D - 22 x 34 or 24 x 36 E - 34 x 44 or 36 x 48 PENCILS As most drawings are prepared with a pencil, it is important that the proper pencil be selected. The drawing media used will determine the type of pencil that should be used. The conventional graphite lead pencil is satisfactory with most papers and tracing vellums, while a pencil with plastic lead is necessary if the drawing is made on film. The draftsman can select from 18 grades of pencils that range in hardness from 9H (very hard) to 7B (very soft) fig.8b.

Tillett 8

Many draftsmen use a 4H or 5H pencil for layout work and an H or 2H pencil to darken the lines and to letter. In general, use a pencil that will produce a sharp, dense black line because this type of line reproduces best on prints. Avoid using a pencil that is too soft. It will wear rapidly, smear easily and soil your drawing. Also, the lines will be "fuzzy" and will not produce usable prints. A conical shaped pencil point Is preferred for most general purpose drafting. To sharpen the pencil, cut the wood away from the unlettered end. Use a knife or mechanical sharpener and point the lead on a pencil pointer. A semiautomatic pencil, Fig. 8a, is usually preferred to a wood pencil. With this type pencil it is not necessary to cut away the wood to expose the lead. The extended lead is shaped on a pencil pointer.

For accurate layout work For general drawing and sketching Use almost exclusively for artwork

DRAWING BOARD The DRAWING BOARD, fig. 9, provides the smooth, flat surface needed for drafting. The tops of many drafting tables are designed for this purpose. Individual drawing boards are manufactured in a variety of sizes. The majority of them are made from selected, seasoned basswood.(reference will be made to drafting table in classroom) The right-handed draftsman will use the left edge of the board as the working edge; the left handed draftsman the right edge. The working edge should be checked periodically for straightness. Draftsmen often tape a piece of heavy paper or a special vinyl board cover to the working face of the drawing board to protect its surface. The vinyl surface is easily cleaned.

Fig 9 Guided Practice The instructor and trainees will discuss the use of each drafting instruments/materials mentioned. Formative Assessment The instructor questions to recap the main points.(EQ) Q1. What are the seven (7) basic instruments/materials used in drafting? Q2. What is the use of the following drafting instruments/materials? T-square Set square (triangles) Protractor Compass Drafting paper (Drafting media) Pencil Drafting board.

of the T- Square. v. Avoid drawing vertical lines with the T- Square placed against the bottom or top edge of the drawing board. vi. Always use the setsquare in conjunction with the TSquare, unless the line to be drawn is inclined at an angle not contained in the set- square. vii. Measure accurately. viii. Use light, inconspicuous dot to record your measurement on the drawing paper. ix. When possible, make your measurements along exiting lines. x. Views of objects that are drawn to the actual size of the object are said to be drawn full size. Scale full size can also be stated as scale 12 = 1 0 " xi. Keep the pencil sharp. xii. A properly sharpened pencil does not require heavy pressure to produce clean, sharp lines. xiii. To ensure control of the pencil, hold it to the sharpened end. xiv. Rotate the pencil slowly, away from you, as you draw a line. xv. Sharpen the pencil at the end that does not indicate the grade of the pencil. xvi. Do not push the pencil. Draw it in the direction it is leaning. Formative Assessment/Instructor & Trainee Summary Wrap (EQ): Q3. What are 10 points to remember in order to produce neat accurate drafting work? Q4.
