Design Brief: Design and make a tote bag to encourage people to be more eco-friendly.
Sequence of Learning for Teachers
In this unit of work children design, make and decorate a Tote Bag to encourage people to be more eco-friendly. Children learn about different types of bags and their functions and understand that designers will often design a product that has both function and is fashionable. Children have the opportunity to develop and consolidate their sewing skills and techniques when working with textiles. Each child makes an identical tote bag and through learning about graphic design, will make design decisions around the additional features to add to their tote bag and also about how to decorate their tote bag with a slogan and logo to promote an eco-friendly message.
This knowledge, skills and understanding is delivered through the following six sessions:
- Investigate Task 1: Investigating Bags & Focus Task 1 – Fashion Designers and Mood Boards
- Investigate Task 2: Newspaper Bag Challenge
- Focus Task 2: Making a Tote Bag
- Design and Make: Eco-Bag Designer
- Design and Make: Adding the decoration.
- Evaluation session.

Well resourced and easily adaptable to meet the needs of LKS2 which I am using it for. Saving me time and energy reinventing the wheel so thank you. It would be even better if the PDFs could have been editable versions to amend and adapt to suit the needs of the children - a little expensive because of this, but certainly a starting point for someone building the product for their class.
