\u2022 Floor Plan Symbols Handout<\/a> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the students come into the room, give them a ruler. When they are seated, ask the students if any of them know how to read a ruler. If there is anyone who can read a ruler, have them draw it on the board and demonstrate for the class how to use it, prompting them if necessary. Why is it important to know how to read a ruler if you\u2019re designing a set?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 1: After the students learn how to read a ruler, take them into the theatre. Demonstrate for them what measurements are necessary for a floor plan. Now have the students measure furniture pieces on the stage. They should write down the measurements on a paper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 2: Hand out empty graph paper to the students. Teach them that one square equals a foot on the graph paper. The students should transfer the measurements they just took onto the graph paper.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 3: Draw an example of a box set on the board. Draw out the floor plan in the following order: walls, doors, windows, large furniture, small furniture.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 4: As you draw, discuss basic stage conventions. These are the following: <\/p>\n Step 5: Have the students sketch a rough drawing of their own previously chosen scenes on a piece of paper. Have them decide where they want the furniture to be.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 6: Once the students have finished sketching out their floor plan, have them draw out the design on the \u201cStage Graph Paper\u201d provided. They should use rulers and the graph squares to draw it to scale. Remind them of the order that they should draw their floor plans (step 3). This is just a rough draft to be turned in for critique. They will create a final draft for the design board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Objective The students will learn how to create a floor plan by measuring and sketching out the stage for their scenes.
