Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.3.3.LI.2 - Examine garment designs to break patterns down into different components

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Examine a given garment design or photograph and identify at least four distinct style lines and design details (such as necklines, collars, yokes, gathers, pleats, pockets, cuffs, and seams).
Break down a complete garment design into its individual pattern components and label each component with the correct pattern symbol (grain line, balance mark, notches, fold line, buttonhole placement, and seam allowance).
Explain, with at least three supporting reasons, why examining a garment design and breaking it into components is essential before drafting patterns.
Work collaboratively in mixed-gender groups to research and produce a manual chart that shows a garment design, its style lines, and the corresponding pattern components with their symbols.
Present findings from the group examination to the whole class, using appropriate technical vocabulary related to garment components and pattern symbols.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Group work/Collaborative Learning: Let learners in groups examine garment designs and describe the various style lines or details in them. Assist learners to break down garment designs into various components indicating the pattern symbols through the use of videos, photographs, drawings and charts. Let them present their findings in a whole class discussion Research, group work: Help learners in their groups to find out the importance of garment design examination with the use of internet surfing, videos, photographs, drawings, etc. Assist learners to break down examined style lines or details into different components. Generate a manual chart on garment design examination and pattern breakdown with their importance/uses. Present report in a whole class discussion

Collaborative Learning, research, experiential learning: In mixed groups, let learners identify various garment design examinations and components of pattern breakdown during garment design. Prepare a manual report to be presented in a whole class discussion

Project based learning, Group work: Pair learners and ask them to identify various garment designs from different sources to examine the style lines or details and break them down into different components with the appropriate pattern drafting tools.
