Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Define textiles.
- Identify different types of textiles.
- Explain the sources and production processes of textiles.
- Describe the properties and uses of various textiles.
- Discuss the care and maintenance of textiles.
Instructional Materials
Samples of different textiles (cotton, wool, silk, polyester, etc.)
Charts showing the textile production process
Visual aids or videos on textile production
Fabric swatches for students to feel and examine
Pictures or diagrams of textile fibers under a microscope
Previous Knowledge
Students have learned about different types of clothing and their uses in earlier lessons. They are also familiar with basic sewing techniques.
Introduction
Begin by asking students what they think textiles are and where they come from.
Show students samples of different fabrics and ask them to identify the types of fabric.
Relate the topic to their previous knowledge of clothing by discussing how textiles are the raw materials for making garments.
J S 3 HOME ECONOMICS LESSON NOTE WEEK 1|WHAT IS Textile
Teacher’s Activities:
Present different fabric samples and allow students to touch and feel them.
Ask guiding questions like, “What do you think this fabric is made of?” and “Where do you think this material comes from?”
Students’ Activities:
Students participate by touching the fabrics and trying to identify them.
Students respond to the teacher’s questions and share their thoughts on textiles.
Presentation
Step 1: Definition of Textiles
Explain that textiles are materials made from fibers, used to produce clothing, household items, and more.
Discuss the difference between natural and synthetic textiles.
Teacher’s Activities:
Define textiles and write the definition on the board.
Differentiate between natural and synthetic textiles.
Students’ Activities:
Write down the definition of textiles in their notebooks.
Participate in identifying the differences between natural and synthetic textiles.
Step 2: Types of Textiles
Introduce the types of textiles: natural (e.g., cotton, wool, silk, linen) and synthetic (e.g., polyester, nylon, acrylic).
Show samples of each type and discuss their characteristics.
Teacher’s Activities:
Present and describe different types of textiles.
Show students samples and explain the characteristics of each.
Students’ Activities:
Observe and examine the samples.
Take notes on the different types of textiles.
Step 3: Sources and Production Processes
Discuss the sources of textiles:
Natural textiles come from plants (cotton, flax), animals (wool, silk), and minerals.
Synthetic textiles are made from chemical processes (polyester, nylon).
Explain the basic production processes:
Natural fibers: Harvesting, spinning, weaving, and dyeing.
Synthetic fibers: Chemical synthesis, extrusion, and finishing.
Teacher’s Activities:
Use charts or videos to demonstrate the production processes.
Explain each step clearly.
Students’ Activities:
Watch the demonstration and ask questions.
Note down the production processes.
Step 4: Properties and Uses of Textiles

Discuss the properties of different textiles:
Cotton: Absorbent, breathable, soft.
Wool: Warm, elastic, wrinkle-resistant.
Silk: Smooth, lustrous, strong.
Polyester: Durable, wrinkle-resistant, dries quickly.
Relate these properties to their uses in clothing, household items, industrial applications, etc.
Teacher’s Activities:
List the properties and uses of each textile type on the board.
Provide real-life examples of where each textile is used.
Students’ Activities:
Match the textiles with their properties and uses.
Engage in a brief discussion on why certain textiles are chosen for specific applications.
Step 5: Care and Maintenance of Textiles
Explain how to care for different textiles:
Cotton: Machine washable, may shrink.
Wool: Hand wash or dry clean, avoid hot water.
Silk: Hand wash or dry clean, avoid wringing.
Polyester: Machine washable, avoid high heat.
Discuss the importance of following care labels on clothing.
Teacher’s Activities:
Demonstrate how to read and understand care labels.
Explain the consequences of improper care.
Students’ Activities:
Review clothing labels they may have at home.
Discuss the importance of proper textile care.

Teacher’s Activities:
Summarize the lesson and highlight the key points.
Encourage students to ask any remaining questions.
Students’ Activities:
Review their notes.
Ask questions for clarification.
Evaluation
Ask students to:
Define textiles.
Name three types of natural textiles and their sources.
List the steps in the production process of natural textiles.
State two properties of silk and their uses.
Explain how to care for woolen fabrics.
- Assignment
Assign students to bring an old piece of clothing from home and identify the type of textile it is made from. They should also describe how they have been caring for it and suggest any improvements.
