Learners should be able to draw in orthographic projection with instruments.

Learners should be able to Sketch the stair and ramp in 3D using isometric projection.

Learners should be able to draw a plan for the stair and ramp using first angle orthographic projection to an appropriate scale, using correct views, line types and dimensions according to convention.

WHAT LEARNERS WILL DO         -Learners will pay attention and observe how to draw with orthographic projection.         -  Answers questions and ask questions to show understanding.          -  Learners will follow the instruction of given by the teacher to practice and draw the sketches and ask teacher for assistant when they are struggling to draw.

WHAT TEACHER WILL DO          -Give the learners sample of a 3D object on how to draw using orthographic projection.         - Provide learners with drawing instrument and appropriate materials.          -  Use practical ideas to learners on how to sketch a stair and ramp using isometric projection step by step.         -   Show learners how to draw a plan for the stair and ramp using first angle orthographic projection to an appropriate scale, using correct views, line types and dimensions according to convention.          -Facilitate and move around while the learners are drawing and assist them when they are struggling to draw

WEEK 3

NAME: Mrs. M.E Gaobusiwe

DATE: 28/01/2016-03/02/2016

GRADE: 9

DURATION: 2 hours.

TOPIC: Forces .

FOCUS AREA: Strength of materials under the action of forces – metal cross-sections

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Learners should be able to explain and identify Strength of materials under the action of forces metal cross-sections.

Learners should be able explain and the concept of tension and compression and how they interrelate.

Learners should be able to explain properties of various construction materials: mass density; hardness, stiffness, and flexibility.

WHAT LEARNERS WILL DO         -   Listen to the teacher         -  Ask question when they don’t understand

WHAT TEACHER WILL DO ·         -Explain how materials differ in strength under the action of forces and metal cross-section.     -  -Explain concepts of Tension and compression and how they interrelate by giving example Tension is pulling, compression is pushing and bending of beams =compression and tension).          -Give learners hand out notes explaining Properties of various construction materials that is mass/density, hardness; stiffness, flexibility, corrosion resistance and how to prevent of corrosion.

Week 4

NAME: Mrs. M.E Gaobusiwe

DATE: 04/02/2016-10/02/2016

GRADE: 9

DURATION: 2 hours

TOPIC: The tender process (including ethical practices).

FOCUS AREA: Investigation skills.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Learners should be able to investigate and identify problem situation within a specific community.

Learners should be able to provide possible structures which could solve the problem they identify.

.

WHAT LEARNERS WILL DO          -  Listen to the teacher and identify problem situation about a specific community in a given scenario.         - Divide themselves into groups and provide possible solutions to the problem situation.          - Ask teacher how they are going to go about to draw a realistic structural plan and how they can implement and present it to a contracting company.        -  Follow the teacher’s instruction and give everyone a specific role.

WHAT TEACHER WILL DO      -    Give learners a scenario about a specific community.         - Ask learners to identify the problem situation and divide themselves into groups.          -Allow student to provide possible solutions. Analysis of existingproducts relevant to the identified problem in terms of fitness-for-purpose (including suitabilityof materials), safety for users, costs of materials and costs of construction. Realistic costs of real materials, labour, transport, etc).         -  Advice learners to familiarize themselves with the area before considering solutions and consult with community learners.         -  Tell learners in each group to give everyone a specific role and contribute to all aspects that is research and investigation, design, drawing up a budget, and building a model.

Week 5

NAME: Mrs. M.E Gaobusiwe

DATE: 11/02/2016-17/02/2016

GRADE: 9

DURATION: 2 hours

TOPIC: design skills

FOCUS AREA: sketching design ideas.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Learners should be able to sketch their own design ideas.

Learners should be able to know the important points to consider when designing a sketch for a bridge (ie. The purpose of the structure, the people for whom it is being constructed, the purpose of the structure, the environment, safety and cost)

WHAT LEARNERS WILL DO         -  Design their own sketch ideas         -   Learners write a design brief with specifications for the final idea.          - Each learner draws a flow chart.          - Each learner draws the plan (or an aspect of the plan) using first angle orthographic projection with suitable scale, correct line types and dimensions.

WHAT TEACHER WILL DO          - Tell the learners to sketch initial ideas each learner to generate possible ideas.       -    Move around and facilitate each learner while drawing.         - Evaluate and adapt: teams evaluate individual ideas and develop a final idea.          - Give learners an activity to draw a flow chart.           -Show learners on how to work on drawings. Using first angle orthographic projection with suitable scale, correct line types and dimensions.         - Advice and give example of how to calculate real life cost solution including the correct materials and labour costs before constructing a model.
