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 Please leave a positive review if this helped, thank you!

Worried about what to teach Product Design students? finding it hard to get started and follow the NEA structure at the beginning? This is the perfect resource to get them carrying on and enthused with a high quality power point, with relevant visuals and animations, as well as questions, techniques and directed tasks to get them finishing off Section A and really having a much better idea of how to carry on!

The learning concept: The concept is that the acronym SCAMPER is used by each consecutive student to alter the last students’ design. I normally allow each student ten minutes per alteration. The students really enjoy this activity and it can be stretched to a 1 hour duration Learning Outcomes: In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of: Different design movements Free hand sketching as they can use other’s designs as a springboard for inspiration Gain confidence in annotating each other’s designs This will culminate in them drawing more complex combinations of these designs, which can then be judged by the student or peer assessed to describe the favourite design. Students will also learn subject specific key words that will underpin their design and technology vocabulary. Power point: The attractive and visual power point can be used on the white board and also printed as a worksheet. Printed as two worksheets, there is a blank and also a differentiated version where one idea is already started so that students do not struggle with ‘blank page syndrome’. This has first example models success criteria in the form of detailed annotation and a strong product design influenced by the example swatches on the left side of the page.
