| Aim: How to use a scale rule to draw a platform in scale What will this lead to in his/her future? Drafting ground plans in scale. This will also be required when making our models in scale. Why does s/he need this? To create technical drawings to communicate with the technical people who would build the scenery What materials/supplies will the student need to supply? Scale Ruler, Pencil, Paper What materials/supplies will the teacher need to supply? Should have extra paper & scale rules for those who forget them. Also, if the students have yet to purchase scale rulers: should have a new supply. What object/product shall the student end up with?

Be sure every one has supplies. Draw a scale rule on the board. Have students work along with your explanations. Looking at scale rule, have them id the proper lines. Understand how to read markings: each foot reading, inch readings. Understand that the ruler has several different scales on it. Questions that will encourage critical thinking and discovery: Activities will include drawing shapes in scale to represent the platforms we use on stage. What items might students have come in contact with that are in scale? maps: subway (not in scale...) map of school... How will the student be evaluated? Outcome of scale drawings. Relate this to future classes via…? When we build models.... Homework? Y:__X__ N:____ Due next class: __X___ or on: _____/_____/_____ measure an item at home and draw it in scale: bed, couch, desk, etc... |
