This resource can be used to ease marking of NEA for Design and Technology. The specific language is taken directly from the AQA mark scheme, but it has been put in chart form with areas identified, so that different mark bands can be easily seen for each section of the NEA. This is a new resource this year for my department, this type of format has helped a lot in Food for several years. It can also be shared with students so they can see how to progress to higher marks using simplified terms. Simply tick the box that you think the students work fits into for that section and the use that information to make your judgement about each section, information can then be transfered easily to the AQA official paperwork.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification unit 2B. In this lesson we look at how aid and intermediate technology can help to reduce the development gap. There is a literacy retrieval starter where the students pick three words from the last few lessons to link together in a sentence. We then look at the different types of aid and students need to match the type of aid to the description. They then complete a cloze exercise to explain how aid can help to reduce the development gap. We look at the Goat Aid scheme from Oxfam and the students use a poster template to complete and colour in a Goat Aid poster. We then look at the definition of intermediate technology and the students complete a quiz on whether the examples on the board are intermediate technology or not. We then look at the example of Adis Nifas in Ethiopia and the students annotate a grid of symbols to show the features of the scheme. We then tackle a 6-mark GCSE-style question and the pupils use a writing frame and some point and evidence suggestions to help answer the question if needed.
hope this saves you valuable planning time.

This is a selection of images and objects for students to work out what objects are and to think outside the box. I use these as little starters to get students to think visually as soon as they come in the room. There is also images of everyday objects for students to think of other uses forcing them to be creative and inventive.
