CONTENT OF THE LESSON ONE
LESSON 1 – INTRODUCTORY QUESTION
Teacher’s Activities – Ask the pupils to bring out their pencil and ruler to draw a straight line. Draw a curve line and ask them to compare the line on the board to the one they drawn.
Pupil’s Activities – Participate actively drawing activities. The line on the board is a curve (bend) line. We have drawn a straight line.
Teacher’s remark – Good job you. Line is one of the elements of design as discussed in our previous lesson. It is very important in design.
Draw thin and thick lines, horizontal and vertical lines, broke and dotted lines, etc. for the pupils to identify and compare the lines. Discuss the meaning and types of lines on the board.
MEANING OF LINE
A line is a straight or curved mark made by using marking materials like pen, pencil, etc.
A line can be thin or thick line. When two or more lines are combined, a shape, image or sign is formed. Line is one of the important elements of design.
TYPES OF LINES
1. VERTICAL LINES
Vertical lines are straight lines that move up and down without any slant.
2. HORIZONTAL LINES
Horizontal lines are straight lines that are parallel to the horizon.
3. DIAGONAL LINES
Diagonal lines are straight thin or thick lines that slant.
4. ZIGZAG LINES
Zigzag lines are straight thin or thick lines made from a combination of diagonal lines.
5. CURVED LINES
Curved lines are thin or thick lines that change direction gradually.
6. DOTTED LINES
Dotted lines are lines made up of a series of dots.
7. DASH LINES
Dotted lines are lines made up of a series of dots.
8. PARALLEL LINES
Parallel lines are lines in a plane that are always the same distance apart. For example, equal sign.

9. PERPENDICULAR LINES
Perpendicular lines are lines that intersect at right angles. For example, a cross or addiction sign.
LESSON 2 – INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 1

- Draw a vertical line between the ends of the two horizontal lines.
What shape is this?
Pupil’s Activities – Participate actively and follow the teacher’s instructions. This is a rectangle.
Teacher’s remark – Correct. A shape is formed when two or more lines are drawn or combined.
LESSON 3 – FURTHER ACTIVITIES
Instruction 1.
- Draw a large upside down “V”.
