Section 2 Unit 2, Daily Lesson Plans

Objectives: The learner will: 1.Analyze principles of typography (TDOE 2.2) 2.Set formatting styles and apply typographical commands to text (TDOE 2.3). 3.Illustrate gradations in shapes and blend colors (TDOE 2.8). Set: Show students examples of documents including letters, reports, presentations, magazines, and newspaper. Have students comment on each document’s appearance. Then, show students the same or similar documents that are designed attractively and professionally. Have students share their reactions. Relate today’s objectives. – 15 minutes Procedures: PP presentation and examples: Relate design principles and terminology. Discuss with students applications of design.– 20 minutes Day 1 Section 2, Lesson Plans Layout, Design, & Typography

Procedures (continued): Demonstration: Using U2S1 (Unit 2, Sample 1), demonstrate steps to enhance appearance of the sample. Then have students complete the steps with me minutes Individual Application: Have students complete Exercises 2.1 and 2.2 (pp ) on their own. They should refer to the models in the text to check their work. – 30 minutes Discuss strategies of planning a design. – 15 minutes Group Application: Have students work in groups of three to plan the design for Case 2.1, page 112. Students will use a design board in the planning stage. – 15 minutes Closing: Review layout and design by asking questions and calling on specific students to respond. Recap group project and ask students to think more about their design. – 5 minutes Day 1 (continued) Section 2, Lesson Plans Layout, Design, & Typography
