OBJECTIVE(S): Students will learn about: field sketches and their usefulness in protecting an ecosystem. Students will learn to draw a field sketch<br />
of an outdoor area.<br />
PREPARATION: Familiarise yourself with this lesson by:<br />
1. Reading the HOW TO DRAW A FIELD SKETCH IN GEOGRAPHY<br />
2. Gather the following materials for an outdoor lesson: 30 x lead pencils; 30 x clip boards; 30 x erasers. You will take the class to a vegetated area<br />
in the school (which has trees, shrubs, long grass, tracks or pathways). The students will need a place to sit to sketch the vegetation they see. Use<br />
the sample field sketch below to help student to draw.<br />

TIME INSTRUCTION/METHODS MATERIALS<br />
5 minutes Instructor: Put a sign on your classroom door that your class will be outdoors (specify location and<br />
date). Do the roll call outside. Inform the class that in today’s lesson they will be performing the first<br />
geographical skill game rangers need to possess and that is: field sketching an area.<br />
5 minutes Instructor: Sit students in an area that faces the vegetation they need to draw. They must draw<br />
what they see close to them, in the middle distance and far distance. Ask students to open their<br />
activity books to Activity 9, take out a lead pencil and eraser. Suggest they start with an outline of<br />
the horizon. Instruct them to avoid scribbling and to draw a line drawing (as in the sample).<br />
40 minutes Instructor: Students can begin. It should take the whole lesson. Walk around to help or give advice<br />
to the students as they are drawing.<br />
END OF LESSON<br />
Dismissing the Class: Finish the lesson with students packing up their equipment and picking<br />
up any rubbish. Next lesson, you will be outside again, let the students know to meet you in<br />
the same area (unless it’s raining). Students will need their mobile phones OR sketch pad and pen<br />
too.<br />
How to draw a field sketch in geography<br />
Step 1: Students only draw a simplified version of what they see. Start with the main objects<br />
Step 2: Add in labels to identify what they are showing (eg tree, shrub, knife, footprint, blood drops, and so on).<br />
Step 3: Add a title to the field sketch (include: date, time, location and number)<br />
