KS3/4 - Exam Pencil of Power

KS3/4 - Exam Pencil of Power

(0)
A pencil bookmark/table prompt/checklist for improving students written responses to exam answer questions. They should overall improve the level of detail students are giving. Meant for use primarily for secondary school students but can be adapted for Primary level students. It is pretty self explanatory once you download the file. Originally this was made during my teacher training. After finding these at the bottom of a box at my parents, I decided to share the digital version on TES. The font used on the pictures for the headings is one called ‘coffee+tea’ downloadable from DaFont.com. For my downloads, I have changed the font as it was only a demo one.

Famous Designers Table Sign

(0)
Table centre pictures for equipment pots etc. Each one with a famous designer (AQA specification) with some products they have designed, description of themselves and a famous quote. I have used them for the table centres as well as an information finding activity. Could be permanently attached to a particular desk or move pots around so the children learn something new about a different person each time. Fully customisable with colour, font etc. Price to reflect time and effort it took to produce the resource.

GCSE Design Technology (DT) Student Course Handbook

(0)
A short guide complied with all the bare details of the course and common questions students have about the course. All the information is from experience teaching the subject and also includes 4 Quizlets for students to revise keywords from. Would be a useful resource for Year 10 or Year 11 or even on Parent’s evenings.

KS3/4 Pencils of Power!

The full collection of pencil bookmarks/table prompts/checklists for improving students written, design/drawing and exam answer work work. Meant for use primarily for secondary school students but can be adapted for Primary level students. It is pretty self explanatory once you download the file. These are organised so that they can be double printed and turned into a pack, as they work used originally. They were made during my teacher training. After finding them at the bottom of a box at my parents, I decided to share the digital version on TES. The font used on the pictures for the headings is one called ‘coffee+tea’ downloadable from DaFont.com. For my downloads, I have changed the font as it was only a demo one. My version also includes my Bitmoji, but I have removed this for the downloadable files.
Design a Product Dice

Design a Product Dice

(0)
Dice faces made to help those who are struggling to think of an idea or a design. These can be used for a 1 off lesson or for GCSE. I have used them for both and they work really well. Peach = Client you are designing for or target market. Pink = the genre e.g. modern, classic, retro. There is also the option to have an open ended genre ‘Inspired by…’ where the student picks the inspiration. Blue = Where or what the design is to be used for e.g. transportation, sport, arcitecture, fashion. There are 6 faces for each colour. I ordered some large foam dice from ebay, printed then laminated the faces before double sticky taping them to the outside. If you click the image you can use the menu at the top of PowerPoint to resize the image to the dimensions that you need.

Form Tutor Pack

A pack of essential form tutor items. Good for Year 7 form in particular but any range range would enjoy the bookmarks and cupcakes. Parent letter included for ease.
D&T Workshop Tools Display

D&T Workshop Tools Display

(0)
Time consuming venture reflected in the price. Workshop tools display showing hand tools and workshop machinery. This was made for my classroom wall where there was nothing visual for the students to look at. The signs are made with this room in mind but is adaptable for any workshop. The focus of each is to show the tool, a working method and then what the tool is used for. Some tools are similar but show a different technique. Examples are included above. PowerPoint file included for easier personalisation. Fonts are embedded in the files - I called my display ‘Don’t call it a Thingy!’ as students were regularly forgetting the right word.

Giant Eat Well Guide Display

GIANT does not cover it! I wanted to make an Eat Well Plate/Guide for my colleague - it must be just over 1.2m tall when printed onto A3. I photoshopped the images and the information and based it on the original government guide. Although, I am biased, this is a lot more visually appealing and great to refer to during lessons. Files are Adobe Illustrator and PDF to print. Please leave a review!
NEA Guide - Design Technology (DT) GCSE

NEA Guide - Design Technology (DT) GCSE

(0)
A super simple student guide for the AQA Design Technology GCSE although it could be adapted to meet other specifications. UPDATED 2024 Simplified to include an A4 booklet version as well. A page layout guide, tips for each page and guidance on how to write different sections. This was a labour of love and has been the best guide that I have given my students.
