Power point: The high end, attractive and informative power point has detailed instructions and notes, step-by-step animations, with starter, main and plenary activities, as well as home learning included. A lesson plan is also included (MS Publisher file). Learning Outcomes: In this lesson, students will gain an understanding of: • Developing their drawing and visualising skills, increasing their ability to draw freehand more quickly and confidently. • 5 different major activities, including a Super challenge task. • The technique used for rendering a range of materials realistically, including; wood, concrete, metal, glass, rubber and plastic • In-depth knowledge of rendering wood, metal and glass, with step by step guidance on how to get a great outcome • How to create the illusion that an object is made from a particular material and describe how light falls on it. • Literacy: Students will also learn a wide range of subject specific key words Worksheets: The worksheets are differentiated into two categories: • ‘LA’ worksheets having additional support in terms of the outcomes as well as sentence stems, word banks, etc. • The second category of worksheet has differentiation in the form of more open ended tasks as well as ‘Super Challenges’.

Included is a demonstration source sheet and gridded worksheet for students to copy/come up with their own designs and repeat them. Ideal for cover work as well as lessons, This is suitable for lessons that include: Pattern generation (Textiles) Concept of tesselation (DT) Art (Optical art/history of art) Ceramics (tile art) If these were helpful - please be the first to leave a positive review thanks!

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 the Year 11 DT GCSE students in September 2020? 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 B and really having a much better idea of how to carry on! I really researched the hard bits, including coming up with a massive word bank of relevant words for helping students as well as an additional ACCESS FM sheet! Learning outcomes: In this GCSE coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: • How to plan, structure and complete a design brief that is relevant to their context, user and portfolio, guided by the mark scheme • How to structure their Specification and the importance of basing this on prior research, to get the highest possible mark • An assessment rubric that can be used to peer assess each other, to reinforce what the success criteria of this section are and to promote independent learning • An additional, differentiated ACCESS FM literacy resource sheet that can be distributed to the students to help them in writing their specification. Potential learning outcomes: Next one - two slides/pages of NEA / Length – 1-2 lessons (including student activity) This is one of my 5 part TES units dealing with the 2021 GCSE NEA.

I have found that the Year 13 DT GCSE students need more direction in the research section and this needs to feed into their specification. Taking a more project management style approach so that everything is planned will hopefully guide students to be more independent in their own enquiry and result in far more meaningful outcomes for this section. I thoroughly researched this, coming up with a massive bank of relevant subject specific vocabulary/questions/processes/techniques for helping students to get top marks in this section. Learning outcomes: In this A-level coursework task, Students will gain an understanding of: How to plan, structure and complete (mainly primary) research in a timely manner How to structure research so that it links excellently to their Specification, to get the highest possible mark An outlined 3-step process to guide students to success in outlining, developing and planning their research independently. Far more detailed lines of enquiry using ACCESS FM+ that students can use. A discussion of two Project management strategies to use in planning research activities A detailed discussion of 3 relevant Quality control processes that students really need to think about. Potential learning outcomes: Improvement and addition of information to the research section This is the third part of two lessons (so far) dealing with section A that can be recorded on power point or paper, Pease look to the first resource here: 2021 AQA Product design NEA Section A https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-product-design-nea-section-a-12414616 2021 AQA Product design NEA Brief & Specification & Project management for Section A (this links really closely to this resource as it deals with similar themes.) https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/2021-aqa-product-design-nea-brief-and-spec-12421572 I hope these help you and your students succeed!

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.

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! This is tried, tested and the students had a very positive and studious response.
