GCSE Design & Technology NEA Support Booklet

(0)
This is a 12 page support booklet guides students through the first 6 sheets of the GCSE D&T NEA. Using this booklet enables students to prepare for each sheet of section AO1 of the Coursework folio. I find this is very useful to ensure that students are adequately pre-prepared before they access computers especially if computer access is limited. These booklets can be also used to support home learning and preparation for completing NEA sheets. There is also a checklist for sheets 1-6. I have also added an additional blank front sheet if you would like to add your own instructions.
