I have attached my whole lesson for the technique of Tie Dye. This technique can be done with both KS3 and KS4 students. I have attached the whole powerpoint that I use which has a Do Now activity, lesson objectives, contemporary examples of which designers have used Tie dye their collection. It then has a slide that has all of the equipment you will need listed and health and safety considerations. This powerpoint also has reflection questions and plenary questions at the end. I have also included a worksheet that students can complete after they have finished experimenting with the tie dye techique. On this worksheet there is a a box asking them to write down the equipment they used, the method of the technique and then to reflect on their learning. The reflection questions are on the main lesson powerpoint.

I have uploaded the full lesson for you that has a starter activity and plenary activity. Starter/Do Now Activity Lesson Powerpoint Step by Step worksheets (pages 1-6) All equipment needed for this The step by step I have created is really great in helping students work independently in the class. What I normally do when I teach the students is first demonstrate to the class how to make a lap joint. I don’t explain to them how to do it but instead ask each student to read out the step to me. Once they read it out I then show them what to do - This works a treat! I have also uploaded the ppt versions so you can edit this yourself.

In this I have included two step by steps to create Aztec patterns on fabric using the technique of Applique. I have also included an equipment list, a moodboard, some examples of what you can create and the step by steps. All resources have been uploaded as powerpoints so you can amend and change details as you wish.

I have broken down unit 1, 2 and 4 completely and created success criterias for each unit. Each success criteria corresponds to the assessment criteria set by NCFE and explains how to lay out the work, what needs to be incorporated, an example of what it should look like and even has sentence starters for differentiation. This resource i created helped me so much and it allowed students to work with more confidence and be able to move to and from each success criteria. I have also included a checklist for each of these units and more detailed differentiated questions that students will need to answer.

Now this is one of my most successful projects that I do with Year 9 DT. In 9 weeks students learn how to make a totebag from stratch using the pattern and instructions. This has increased my uptake for textiles at GCSE and I tend to have a lot of students wanting to come and work on their totebag outside of lesson because of this project. All you need to do is print the pattern on to A3 paper and it is ready to use. Print as many as you need for each student. Then print out the instructions (step by step) and they are all able to follow it to create their tote bag. I use calico fabric for the tote bag as its the cheapest and most similar to a canvas bag. Choose which ever fabric you wish to use. I also get them to embroider onto the tote bag a design on a protest movement/value that they believe in (but you can choose what you want them to embroider) Any questions on this, feel free to comment and I can help but it quite self explanatory :)
