Pre-Assessment

Good morning class. Good morning ma’am.

Arrange your drawing tables and chairs. (Students do what is told
Please sit down. them to do).
Please pass the attendance sheet and sign accordingly.

Engineers communicate with each other through

drawing. Likewise, as draftsman need to know the
theory and principles of a working drawing called
orthographic projection. It is through accurate
orthographic projection drawing, the designer or
draftsman conveys to the carpenter or builder the
necessary information to erect and complete a
structure or furniture.

Motivation

Show video Yes sir.

It composes of lines, figures,

Do you know how to draw an object? text and pictorial drawing.

What is seen in a working drawing? Can you name

some of them?
A plan or blueprint drawing of
Yes, That’s correct! the dog house sir.

What is needed to make a house?

That’s right, A plan or blue print is needed to make an

accurate dog house.

I have brought a dog house (show to your students a

dog house discussing the detailed parts. Without any
introduction to technical sketching guidelines, have the
students sketched the dog house.)

Class you draw a plan of your birdhouse design. See to

it that your plan will have “enough detail that
someone else can make a similar object".

(Collect their drawing).

Looking at most of your drawings, I observed that some

of you understand the need to show the size of an
object. Others emphasize the depth and measurement
of the drawing. There is a standardized way to draw a
plan like these called orthographic projections, Our
lesson for today.

Let’s view the PowerPoint presentation on orthographic

Projections.

Okay, now that you have the basic understanding of

what orthographic projections are, let’s do one
together.

I have here a template. Use this in making your

orthographic projections.

Activity 1

Give an example of a pictorial object and let your

students do the sketch orthographic projection. Allow
the students to practice in small groups. Allow the
students to work together to answer questions about a
real part based on dimensioned sketches (or drawings)
of the part. Walk around as they do their activity.

Then demonstrate on the board the principles and

guidelines in making the orthographic projections.
Explain the process as you go to emphasize
understanding and comprehension.

Activity 2

Distribute the hand out worksheets. Discuss the

worksheet to the class. Let the students complete the
worksheet independently as the teacher walks around
giving assistance where needed.

Discuss the answer on the board.

Discussion

We need to ask ourselves what is Orthographic

Projection? Basically it is a way a representing a 3D
object on a piece of paper. This means we make the
object become 2D.
Orthographic projection allows all views of a three
dimensional object to be shown in a two dimensional
drawing.
If you put all the views together you will have a 2D
drawing of all the sides of a 3D object.

First angle projection is a method of creating a 2D

drawing of a 3D object. It is mainly used in Europe and
Asia and has not been officially used in Australia for
many years. The Australian Standard uses third angle
projection rather first angle projection as it is easier to
understand.
Note the symbol for first angle orthographic projection.
This is important information for the person
interpreting the drawing because if you examine the
diagram below you will note that in first angle
orthographic projection:

Generalization

What is an Orthographic Projection? (Students explained their

answers.)
What are the three principal views in an orthographic
projection?

What are the alphabets of lines used in an orthographic

projection?

Whys is it important to know about orthographic

projections?

Application

Here's your chance to test your knowledge and ability

in Orthographic Projection. Students will complete a
three view orthographic drawing of birdhouse with
dimensions and specifications.

If you wrap up the week by having the students re-

sketch the object from the beginning of the week, there
should be some very obvious improvements.
