Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Reader, Vol. 1: Authorized for Use in the Public Schools of Ontario by the Minister of Education Having chosen a design for a lesson, the teacher should place a copy of it on the blackboard, and aid the pupils to analyze its form and to understand the plan of its construction. He should proceed somewhat as follows: - First, as to Form. - Pointing to the copy he should require the pupils to name the figure upon which the design is based; to show the points where the lines of this figure are divided; to show what construction lines are drawn from these points; to show what other construction lines are drawn, and the points where these are divided; and so on. Then he should require them to point out and name the different forms of which the design is composed; to show how the different lines of these forms are drawn; to point out the forms that are repeated, and to state how often they are repeated; and so on. Second, as to Construction. - Having drawn upon the blackboard the figure upon which the design is based, he should require the pupils to show how its lines are to be divided for drawing construction lines; to show from what other points construction lines are to be drawn; in what direction the construction lines should be drawn; what other divisions should be made; what points should be taken as guide dots, and so on. Then he should require the pupils to show how one of the lines of the design should he drawn; and when it has been drawn to show how and where the similar lines of the design are to be drawn; and so on until all the lines of the design have been placed. Finally he should require them to state what parts of the drawing should be erased so that the resulting drawing may correspond with the given design. The design should again be drawn on the board, either by the teacher or a pupil, or by the teacher and a pupil together, the different steps being, as much as possible, suggested by the class. Lastly, it should be drawn by the whole class on slate or paper, to the dictation of the teacher, or copied from the blackboard; the teacher aiding individual pupils when necessary. The teacher should occasionally require the pupils to reproduce the designs from memory, and to modify them by the addition or omission of details; also to form, within some simple enclosing figure, original designs, from given elements, or otherwise. The pupils should be required to sit upright; to face the desk; to keep their slates or papers on the desks in one position, the edges parallel with the edges of the desks; to use long pencils, and to hold them lightly and so that the fingers will not obstruct the view of the line to be drawn.
