D&T Evaluation Worksheets

D&T Evaluation Worksheets

The reason behind these sheets:

I was getting frustrated with how difficult it was to get students to ‘evaluate’, rather than ‘describe’, as they often did in the D&T project evaluations. The emphasis in these worksheets is to get the student thinking and explaining by answering questions about every stage of the ‘design and make’ process. This has helped them learn the meaning of evaluation through the process of asking reflective questions.

Learning Outcomes:

In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of:

• Clear success criteria to guide students on what constitutes a good outcome
• Evaluation questions for every part of a ‘design and make’ project, including research methods, Design Process, Mock ups/prototype stage, Manufacture process, CAD/CAM process, including testing and conclusion
• How to structure their response in complex sentences, using P.E.E., supported by using differentiated materials.

Power point:

The attractive and visual power point can be used on the white board and also printed as a worksheet, as can the question slide

Power point Worksheets/categories:

The worksheets are differentiated into two categories, so that students who have learning difficulties (LA) will not be overwhelmed and will have much more literacy support with sentence stems.

The second category that caters to the middle and higher ability student has differentiation in the form of more open ended tasks as well as ‘Challenges’. I have left super challenges blank so a student can fill this in themselves to be more independent!

In theory, one sheet could be used to support the other, or even used for lower school VS. upper school evaluations
