A step by step booklet that includes the whole process of making a rectangle box. The resource includes images and text to show pupils the correct way to produce the product. The resource was designed to help differentiate during practical lessons after a demonstration allowing those who were capable to move forward at their own pace. The images are there for a visual reminder to pupils on techniques or tools used at each step for those who struggle to retain knowledge after demonstrations.

A simple resource that I have used at the start of practical lessons and during lessons leading up to practical to get pupils to discuss what the tool does that is on their desk. Useful to see what pupils have remembered from previous lessons or their knowledge about the tool before using it. Could be adapted for equipment in any area of D&T

The work booklet that I have used to guide pupils through the design process during the project. Includes new national curriculum grades and flight paths to track grades.

A booklet for the year 8 woodwork project that I use that guides pupils through the design process. It includes the new national curriculum levels and flight paths to track pupils grades.

A passport that I have found particularly useful when starting practical lessons within D&T. This one is specifically based around resistant materials but it could easily be adapted to suit other areas. The idea behind it is for every pupil to be given one at the start of the module or year and when pupils have been shown fully how to use the tool or equipment by yourself in a demonstration they then fill out the risk assessment that is printed on the reverse. It is then signed and dated to prove that each pupil has had sufficient training on the equipment or tools.

A net for a cube that includes the 5 w's (who, what, where, when, why). A resource to help get pupils thinking about something you have asked them to look at for a starter activity. Pupils roll the die and try to answer a question related to the resource being used to create a group discussion.

A poster which displays higher order thinking questions for Design Technology. A great resource that could be displayed on a wall, used as a resource for pupils to use during class discussions, or even as a way of helping pupils to annotate their design ideas. The poster uses a 1-6 ladder which helps to prompt questions at low order thinking skills (knowledge), up to high order thinking skills (synthesis).
