They are framed whereby they can compose their answers in the chat function, and are not to hit send until asked. Topics cover a variety of theory from across the subject, and each slide has a moving gif image to engage.

This is a printable guide booklet to give to children which guides them through all sections of the NEA. Each page gives a doodle of what their sketchbook or PowerPoint slide should look like, along with guidance as to what to include in order to meet the mark scheme needs. The booklet is tried and tested, and I have used this format for many years with great success. This booklet is written specifically for AQA GCSE D&T (latest spec). Included is a fully editable version (made in PowerPoint), which you could easily modify to OCR etc. too if you so wished. I have also included a printable booklet of the mark scheme for students and teachers (just a cut down version of the specification), which I find handy for marking, and also a deadline poster for display in the department. This guide will work with any contextual challenge.
