KS3 lesson on types of wood
Written to start to incorporate the new Design & Technology GCSE framework into KS3 learning
PowerPoint includes worksheets to be printed. When I delivered this lesson I found it useful to get the learners working in small groups (on tables that were strategically arranged to mix SEN, behavioural and higher ability learners).
Feel free to ask me any questions!
A learner friendly peer feedback slip designed for use in an Art & Design lesson (with a project focused around Robots, however the design is very neutral and suitable for a variety of subject areas!)
A great tool for formative assessment and a way to encourage learners to work together and respect each other (British Values).
I created these slips for learners on my course to demonstrate how they have embedded literacy and/or numeracy into their graphic design
This is a big push within young offender learning and it helps the learners to understand the relevance of core subjects within pathways and the real world
Happy to edit the PDF for other subject areas - please just contact me!
I created a huge number of Artist research factsheets during my PGCE. The information for these was all found on the internet (please note I have not reworded any, merely copied and pasted). The idea behind the factsheets was to have a bank of resources for reference, both for myself and for students.
I have printed all of these out and have them in separate folders (relating to style of art/design). I have made great use of them during my time teaching in a young offenders institute, and the learners like to select their own designers for inspiration to develop their ideas.
This bundle contains: Graphic Designers
I also will be uploading:
Photographers, Installation Artists, 3D Artists, Street / Graffiti Artists, Conceptual Artists, Illustrators, Traditional and Modern Fine Artists and Textiles based Artists.
Feel free to contact me with any questions
