To do this I must first write an ACCESS FM design specification, analyse similar products and research my theme.”

This is a simple handout which was created for a whole class taste test and class survey on different processed fruit: Fresh; Tinned; Frozen & Jam. It contains a table for the pupils to complete in which they should write about the texture, appearance, smell etc. of each food tasted.
Pupil ask a certain amount of pupils their opinion and calculate the result to find the most and least popular of the class. This handout has 2 tables per page.
This is the original Word document so can be fully edited to which ever ingredients/foods you want to use.
A very useful template for creating the final designs of the character hats suitable for tracing into A4 workbooks.
The sheet also features also notes and guidance for pupil annotation and what they need to consider.
This accompanies the full 20 week presentation but is also excellent as a cover lesson activity.
LARGE A4 VERSION
A great resource for mini evaluations. Pupils write a sentence, 5 keywords or tools used that lesson and one summative adjective about their product/work. Can be used as continuous assessment at different stages of the project or at the end.
A great resource for warm up evaluations. Pupils write 5 sentences, 5 keywords (or tools used that lesson) and one summative adjective about their product/work. Can be used as continuous assessment at different stages of the project or at the end as a preparation to final evaluation writing.
Assessment feedback sheet for GCSE pupils which is based on the GCSE Controlled Assessment Task mark scheme. This is very useful for marking YR10 pupils work to get them used to the format of marking for their final year.
This resource is perfect for end of project assessment marking against the ACCESS FM specification points at the start of each project. Each point is marked out of 2. There is also a point for Overall Product/Effort and a section for teacher and pupil comments and D.I.R.T sheets if used by the school. If D.I.R.T sheets aren't used a photo of the final product could be placed there instead.
This has been an incredibly useful resource for final marking.
This resource is to be used each lesson after any practical work. It will help pupils remember what they did and what they found easy or difficult etc. and helps when it comes to writing their final evaluations as it trigger their memories. Perfect for developing literacy and for those who struggle writing extended pieces of writing.
