One of my favourite series of lessons to teach, using a group activity for the class to be the production line of an Origami Shirt Factory. This practical activity takes **very little prep **- paper, felt-tips, glue stick and the pupil worksheet. The pupils love this activity and it provides them with first hand knowledge when adding the shirts they have made to their worksheets with the manufacturing information annotated around them. Lesson Powerpoint has two starter activities to get pupils thinking about Volumes of Production,along with my step by step photos of how to make the shirts with the adaptions they need for each method of production. There are teacher notes on the slides to support you organising the activity in the classroom. With information slides to introduce keywords and show the different set up & unit costs for each production method, that pupils can use to support the annotating of each production. Worksheet has the the two starter activities on, pages for each production method and a glossary table for pupils to complete the defnitions to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. Scale of Production - Adaption task worksheet. I used this as a homework activity. It includes a wordbank of materials and components to help pupils think more widely about the design task. Second Activity for Batch Production - Textiles Practical. Powerpoint with the activity instructions and outcomes expected from each Batch Factory. I set this as a cover lesson for a year 10 class, the cover teacher and the pupils loved it. They made brilliant candy cane mice. Pupils were able to demonstrate their knowledge of how the production line needed to be organised, producing quality products that they then took home after the judging of the winning factory. Small amount of prep for this activity - resources felt, buttons, embroidery and sewing machine thread, scissors and needle. Slides printing out for each factory - Task and outcomes, Workers of the factory, material & component resource pack, Mouse paper pattern.

Lesson Powerpoint introduces the Design brief & specifcation, research that includes Analysis of Existing products with a homework task for inspiration / moodboard images, to support the initial ideas and final developed design & annotation. This is to develop pupils understanding of all the different materilas, components, themes they could use in their own work.
