The document outlines a daily lesson plan for a technology education class focusing on pattern making and three-dimensional design for grades 5-8. The plan includes an essential question, standards and process skills, and a four step activity involving introduction, project creation in teams, and presentation. Students will brainstorm designs, make patterns, safely use materials to create a project, and present their work including problems encountered and solutions. The goal is for students to integrate designs and concepts into a 3D creation while developing skills in technology and design.
