Grade 6 - Learning how to create a Full Scale Drawing

To all ODD section 6th Graders:

Depending upon weekly schedule and Christmas Vacation we will be starting to learn how to create a full scale drawing.

Students will learn how to set up their drawing with a boarder and information box. From there they will be shown how to use their boarder to create their first practice drawing. The drawing will have two views: Front and Side. The Front will show the 3" x 4" side and the side will be 3" x 1".

Once the student has completed all parts of the practice drawing they will use what they have learned to complete 2 full scale drawings on their own which will be graded.
