Strand	THE CREATIVE JOURNEY (FROM CAVES TO 21ST CENTURY)	Sub-Strand	DESIGN HISTORY
Learning Outcome(s)	3.1.2.LO.1 - Examine and participate in debates on 21st-century design concepts and applications. Collaboration and Communication: Working in group shape collaboration skills as well as communication capabilities across social and gender divide on community needs. Global Citizenship / Responsible Citizenship and Leadership: • Group dynamics in collaboration on glocal issues foster leadership potential in learners across social and gender divides by shared responsibilities and role-playing. • They develop awareness of emerging design concepts and objects in smart and sustainable cities and environments imbues learners with cultural identity and makes them responsible global citizenship. Cultural Identity and Self-Confidence: • Learners develop the ability to understand, relate to and be sensitive to others (empathetic leadership). • Learners working to improve societal situations with global solutions breed cultural awareness and sense of pride necessary for learners
Content Standard	3.1.2.CS.1
Learning Indicator(s)	3.1.2.LI.1 - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of design concepts in the 21st- century. Analyse major design concepts in the 21st century
Lesson Focus	Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of design concepts in the 21st- century. Analyse major design concepts in the 21st century
Previous Knowledge	Learners recall related ideas, vocabulary or experiences from earlier lessons and everyday contexts.
Lesson Objective(s)	Describe the key idea in: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of design concepts in the 21st- century. Analyse major design concepts in the 21st century Apply the idea through guided and independent learning activities. Demonstrate understanding through oral responses, written work or practical performance.
Essential Question(s)	What visual, cultural, design or aesthetic ideas are central to Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of design concepts in the 21st- century. Analyse major design concepts in the 21st century? How can evidence from artworks, objects, environments or the design process support interpretation or decision-making? How can the learner apply these ideas creatively to communicate, solve a problem or produce an art/design outcome?
Pedagogical Strategies	Visual inquiry Art-history research Comparative analysis Collaborative presentation Portfolio development
Teaching & Learning Resources	Sketchbook/drawing book Pencils/erasers Art and Design reference materials Whiteboard/markers Design brief sheets Magazines/photographs/reference images Paper/cardboard and locally available materials
Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide curated visual references, simplified analysis prompts, vocabulary supports or partially completed examples for learners who need scaffolding. Extend advanced learners with comparative research, independent visual inquiry, more complex design constraints or deeper critical interpretation.
Process	Use mixed-ability groups for research/critique while also requiring individual sketchbook or reflection evidence. Allow learners to work through visual, verbal, tactile and digital modes depending on the task and available resources.
Product	Accept appropriate evidence such as annotated sketches, timelines, pictorial charts, critique reports, portfolios, models, compositions, paintings, design solutions or presentations. Assess concept development, visual reasoning, craftsmanship, contextual understanding, originality and ability to explain design/artistic choices.
Success Criteria	Learners use correct subject vocabulary. Learners complete the main task with reasonable accuracy. Learners explain or demonstrate how the concept applies in a new situation.
Homework	Complete a short application task connected to the week's learning indicator.

Lesson Activities
Stage	Teacher Activity	Learner Activity	Assessment / DoK
Starter10 minutes	Display a relevant artwork, design, performance or visual example from the creative journey (from caves to 21st century) and ask learners to describe what they notice.	Share prior knowledge, listen to peers and record the lesson question in their notebooks.	Not provided.
Activity 115 minutes	Demonstrate how artists or designers use design history, pointing out materials, process, form and meaning.	Observe the example, name visible features and record useful vocabulary.	Ask learners to identify one material, technique, form or meaning from the example.
Activity 220 minutes	Guide learners to sketch, plan, perform, annotate or critique a small work connected to design history.	Create, annotate or critique the task outcome while responding to feedback.	Review work for process, creativity, accuracy and explanation.
Activity 310 minutes	Ask learners to refine or present their work and explain one decision linked to design history.	Present the refined work and explain the artistic or design decision made.	Use peer comments and teacher questions to check understanding of the concept.

Lesson Closure

Summarise design history and correct one common misconception using learner examples. State one thing learned and complete the exit response.
