RLLS PLAN
1. Target Audience - 10th -12th Grade (Toddler’s or kids 6+months)
2. Materials – TEST, handouts, architecture books, computer with Internet access, WORDLE, Tagxedo, PowerPoint, smart board., Various Shaped blocks for students to look at in groups (TV,VCR, MY BABY CAN READ PROGRAM
3. Objectives –
· Differentiate between the types and purposes of architectural drawings.
· Produce the line conventions used on architectural drawings.
· Develop good lettering techniques.
· Present the words for the chapter in an important manner
· Discover Words
· Develop Wordle and Tagxedo in a fun interesting way
· (LEARN and Understand basic words in a new Way)
4. Procedure – The students will pull out the red architecture books and follow along with the PowerPoint’s and class discussion. Will be following along as we go over a few main topics from the chapter.
Discuss Types of Drawings(PowerPoint and discussion)
- Plans (pg 73) - are views from the top down, a “bird’s-eye” view.
- Elevations (73) - are flat two-dimensional views. Depth is indicated by a change in line weight. Heavier line weights are used for major building lines and areas close to the viewing plane. Lighter line weights are used for component details and areas farther from the viewing plane.
- Sections (73) – show a view of one “slice” of a planned structure.
- Detail drawings (74) – are drawn to reveal precise information about construction methods and materials.
- Renderings (74) - are usually 1, 2, or 3-point perspective drawings. Often called pictorials, these show how the finished product is expected to look.
- Models (74) – 3-D proportional replicas of a structure.
Look at the blue prints on page 77. Ask them what the line in front of service area represents? (Swing of the door)
Architectural Lettering
When drawings letters in architectural your letters should always be capitalized. Drawn at ¼” in height. The line spacing between your letters should be exactly the same through out all your lines.
After this section have the student’s get into groups of 4 and pass a block to each group. They will look and sketch the Different views and number them.
(Watch Video with toddlers, go over my baby can read flash cards or picture book depending on the day, then use the WORDLE program)
5. Web 2.0 Tool – Wordle and Tagxedo (SAME)
6. Social Participation/Social Learning – The students will be collaborating on the design of their city and comparing their Wordle’s and Tagxedo the following day to see any similarities between each other’s. They also will be working in groups on the Design drawing using the Shaped blocks
(STUDENTS will learn in group watching the video and taking turns calling out words using the WORDLE picture)
7. Making Connections – The student’s will be learning more about shapes and houses and how the drawings are designed for the upcoming house-building project. They will be using their knowledge about the strongest shape and Structures depending on the area learned above.
(The Children will pull from their knowledge of the my baby can read video’s)
8. Create/Produce – The end product will be 2 word clouds. One will be a Wordle word cloud and the other will be a Tagxedo word cloud. The students will also be collaborating in a group to create and design a city. The student’s will be electronically submitting there wordle and Tagxedo for me to print later and hang up around the classroom. The student’s will also produce sketches of different shapes and begin designing a town using the knowledge of town needs that we have discussed in the chapter before. (WORDLE CLOUD SHAPED LIKED DIFFERENT ANIMALS)
9. Reflection – At the end of class we have a class discussion on how they feel that Wordle will be a useful in class and how would it be able to do it in other classrooms.
10. Assessment –
What is the definition of Rendering?
Detail drawings are drawn to reveal ___________ information? (Precise)
What are models? (6 above)
Letters should always be what? _________________(Capitalized)
Line spacing should be exactly? ___________________ (the same)
I will use the above questions for the student’s to use their notes to answer in a 5-minute time frame that will give me a grade on how well they understood the days’ lessons.
