Year 8 – Vector graphics Lesson plan

Lesson 6 – Showcase

Lesson 6: Showcase
Introduction
In this lesson learners compare vector images with bitmaps images. Learners consider
which image type best suits which situation. Learners are given a final chance to make
small changes to their project before they review it and share it with the rest of the class.
The lesson ends with a multiple choice quiz.

Learning objectives
● Explain key differences between vector and bitmap images
● Outline which image type best suits which uses
● Evaluate their image against a rubric

Key vocabulary
Bitmap, logo, illustration, icon

Preparation
Subject knowledge:
You need to be familiar with:
● The basic tools and features of vector editing software
● The types of vector graphics listed under key vocabulary

You will need:


● L6 Slides
● Rubric – Media – Vector Graphics – Y8
● Summative assessment – Media – Vector Graphics – Y8
● Summative assessment – Answers – Media – Vector Graphics – Y8

Assessment opportunities
Activity 1: Learners should be able to describe which image type best suits which usage
case.

Activity 2: Learners have the opportunity to peer assess the work of another pair using
an assessment rubric.

Activity 3: Contains a summative assessment that consists of 14 multiple choice


questions.

Outline plan
Please note that the slide deck labels the activities in the top right-hand corner to help
you navigate the lesson.

*Timings are rough guides


Starter Good, or could be better?
activity
(Slides 2–3) Show slide 2. Ask learners to read the criteria and evaluate the Treasure
Island logo. Ask learners if they think the logo is good based on the
5 mins criteria. Ask learners with more advanced skills how the logo could be
improved.

Display slide 3 and introduce the lesson objectives.

Activity 1 Vectors vs bitmaps


(Slides 4–10)
Show the learners the images on slide 4 and ask them to describe the
15 mins difference between vector graphics and real photographs.

There are clear differences between these two images. Obviously, one is
a vector graphic and the other is a real photograph (raster graphic).
Learners may point out specific differences with colours, etc. Slide 5
explains that the main difference is the fine detail that can be seen in the
real photo.

Use slides 6 to 9 to aid in explaining what vector graphics are and what
their advantages are over raster graphics. Use this opportunity to assess
learners’ knowledge of vector graphics. On slide 9, ask learners if they
think font styles are vector or raster graphics and to justify their answer.
(Fonts are vectors because they can be scaled without losing image
quality.)

Show slide 10. Tell learners that with a partner they are going to write two
lists. One list should be where the use of vectors is best suited and the
other should be for bitmaps. There are some suggested uses on the slide
to which students can add their own. In some cases there isn’t a best
option, so the situation would appear in both lists.

Activity 2 Improve your projects


(Slides 11–12)

Lesson 6 – Showcase

Use slide 11 to explain the instructions for improving the project. Pairs
20 mins need to make small changes to their project to make it better meet the
requirements of the rubric.

After 15 minutes, show slide 12 and ask learners to review their work a
final time. On the assessment rubric, they should mark the statements
that they believe they’ve managed to meet with their vector graphics
project.

Activity 3 Summative assessment


(Slide 13)
Learners are to complete the summative assessment. Questions have
10 mins been provided along with the answers. The assessment can be
completed on paper by circling the correct answer. However, you may
wish to present the questions in an electronic format, such as a Google
Form, to help with marking.

Plenary Showcase
(Slide 14)
Show learners a range of different projects that have been completed.
10 mins You may also wish to show work completed by other classes. Ask learners
to think about what the creators have done well and whether they can
suggest any improvements. If time allows, ask learners to voice their
opinions on the projects being viewed.
