2. Presentation
Class the words that you have seen in the
puzzle has something to do with our lesson
today. Please listen Attentively.
3. Discussion
Class our lesson for today is Preparing
Drafting Materials And Tools/Drawing
Instruments.
There are a great variety of drafting materials
and tools used in mechanical drawing.
Class do you know what is this?
(Show a picture of a Drawing Paper.)

(Students will raise their hands and give an

idea.)

This is called a Drawing Paper.

Who can read what is a drawing paper?
(Show a slide)
Yes, John!

(Student will read)

Various types of drawing papers are available
for use but hard and soft surface drawing
papers are highly recommended to be used.
This type does not groove easily when pressure
is applied to the pencil.

Thank you, John!

Oslo paper is commonly used but bond paper
is also recommended.
Now who can tell what drawing material is
this?
(Show a picture of a Masking Tape.)

(Students will raise their hands and give an

idea.)
Sir thats a masking tape!

Thats right! Its a Masking Tape.

Who can read the use of a masking tape?
(Show a slide)
Yes, Mark!

(Student will read)

Masking tape is used for fastening the drawing
paper on the drawing table or drawing board
because it does not damage the board and it

will not damage the paper if it is removed by

pulling it off.
Thank you Mark!
We use masking tapes so that the drawing
paper will not moved while we are drawing.
The next drawing tool is a Sharpener.
What is a Sharpener?
(Show a slide.)
Charles please read what is a Sharpener.

(Student will read)

A sharp lead point on your pencil helps create
sharp, consistent lines. It is important to only
use the lead sharpener to sharpen the lead on
your pencil and NOT the wood (use a regular
pencil sharpener to sharpen the wood). Note:
lead sharpeners can be very messy so you
should store it away from you drafting board.

Thank you, Charles!

Pencils should be sharpened. So we will use a
sharpener.
Now class the next drawing tool is an Eraser.
Who can read what is the use of an eraser?
(Show a slide)
Yes, Flor?

Thank you, Flor!

The main use of an eraser is to remove
unwanted dirt in your drawing.
Now what drawing tool is this?
(Show a picture of a pencil)
That correct! Its a pencil

(Student will read)

is used to clean the dirt off the drawing. A soft
eraser is advantageous in removing smudges
and pencil marks, whereas, a harder eraser is
useful for making changes and correcting
errors in the drawing.

(Students will raise their hands and give an

idea.)
Sir that is a pencil!

Who can read the what is a pencil?

(Show a slide)
Yes, Anthony?

(Student will read)

This is one of the most important tools in
drawing. It comes in various grades. The grade
of pencil to be used depends on the quality of
paper to be used. You have to take into
consideration also the type of line work
required.

Thank you, Anthony!

Remember class that you cant draw without a
pencils.

Class are you familiar with Triangular Scales?

(Students will raise their hands and give an

idea.)
No sir!

This is a Triangular Scales

(Show a picture of a Triangular Scales.)
Now who can read the use of a Triangular
Scales?
Yes, Danna?

(Student will read)

This is a tool generally used when reproducing
a drawing in an enlarged or reduced form to
some regular proportion. The architects scale
is the most commonly used for general
drawing. Its main function is to reproduce the
measurements of an object in full size, reduced
size, and enlarged size.

Thank you, Danna!

Triangular scales is used to enlarge or reduce a
drawing.
Next drawing tool is the Erasing shields.
(Showing a picture of an Erasing shiled)
Okay who can read what is an Erasing shield?
Yes, Ria?

(Student will read)

Erasing Shileds is made up of metal with

irregular holes. It is a useful tool to protect the

rest of the drawing when clearing up smudges,
unnecessary pencil lines and other erasures.
Thank you, Ria!
From the word shields. It is used to protect
your drawing while erasing some unwanted
pencil lines.
Class this Drawing instrument is called a Tsquare
(Showing a picture of a T-square.)
Jessa can you read what is a T-square?

(Student will read)

It is a drawing instrument used when making
horizontal lines. It is also used for guiding
triangles when drawing vertical lines. It is
made of wood, plastic, metal or a combination.

Thank you, Jessa!

T-square is used when making horizontal lines.

Class this is a Triangle.

(Show a picture of a Triangles.)
Who can read what is a Triangles?
Yes, Justin?

Thank you, Justin!

Triangles is a three-sided ruler. It is usually
made of plastic and comes in different sizes.
The next drawing instrument is a Compass.
This is a Compass.
(Show a picture of a Compass.)

(Student will read)

Triangles
is a three-sided ruler, which
typically has two equal sides meeting at a 90
degree angle and to a third side at 45, 30,
including 60 degree angles. It is usually made
of plastic and comes in different sizes. If in
use, the base of the triangle must rest on the
blade of the T square. Drawing a line always
starts from the point near the base going
upward.

Paul, can read what is a Compass?

(Student will read)

Compass is used when drawing arcs and
circles. It is used in a similar way to a divider.
It is composed of one with the lead leg and the
needle point leg being held together with a
handle.

Thank you, Paul!

When you want to draw arcs or circles.
Compass is the best to use.

Now class do you know what is a Divider?

(Show a picture of a Divider.)
Yes, Nicole can you read what is a Divider?

(Student will read)

Divider
is
used
when
transferring
measurements, dividing lines and arcs into the
desired number of equal parts.

Thank you, Nicole!

Divider is use when transferring
measuresments.
.
Now class are you familiar with a Protractor?
(Show a picture of a Protractor.)
Who can read what is a Protractor?
Yes, Francis?

Than you, Francis!

Protractor is use to determine degress in
measuring arc and angles.
Did you enjoy reading the given information?
Which among the drafting materials, and
drawing tools and instruments matter to you

(Students will raise their hands and give an

idea.)
No, Sir!
(Student will read)
It is a semi-circular instrument divided into
180 equal parts, each of which is called a
degree. It is used to determine gradations of the
degrees when measuring arcs, angles and
circles. High quality protractor is usually made

most? Well, you are just starting how. Lets

move ahead to enrich your understanding.
