Learning Objectives

Indicator: B9.5.4.1.3 - Demonstrate how to gather materials, tools, and equipment for making artefacts

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Examine a design folio and identify the working drawings, cutting list, and sequence of operations needed for making an artefact.
Prepare a complete materials, tools, and equipment checklist for making a chosen artefact, matching each item to the relevant stage of production.
Compare the dimensions on working drawings with those on the cutting list and verify their accuracy before cutting begins.
Justify the choice of tools and materials for each making operation, giving at least one reason for each selection.
Present a gathering plan that sequences the collection of materials and tools according to the stages of making, from marking out to finishing.
