Lesson Content
Introduction To Weaving
Weaving is the process of interlacing two sets of materials, usually threads, to create fabric or other structures. This method has been used for centuries to produce clothing, baskets, mats, and other items.
Uses of Drama in Teaching Values:
Drama is a powerful tool in teaching values because it can represent real-life scenarios where pupils can see the consequences of actions. For example, a short play about honesty can show why telling the truth is important.
Types of Weaving:
There are different types of weaving, each with its unique pattern:
- Plain Weave: The simplest and most common type, where the weft thread crosses over and under the warp thread.
- Twill Weave: Characterized by diagonal lines, made by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads and then under two or more warp threads.
- Satin Weave: Known for its smooth surface and is created by floating the weft thread over several warp threads.
Meaning and Objectives of Apprenticeship System:
The apprenticeship system is a traditional method of learning where a beginner, called an apprentice, learns a trade or craft under the guidance of a skilled master. The objectives of apprenticeship include:
- To pass down specialized skills and knowledge.
- To ensure the continuation of cultural and traditional crafts.
- To provide practical, hands-on experience.
Lesson Evaluation:
To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- Define weaving.
- List two ways drama can be used to teach values.
- Name and describe two types of weaving.
- Explain the apprenticeship system and mention two of its objectives.
