I was asked by a Science teacher to create some Global Warming posters for a display board / lunchtime club. Being a Design Technology teacher I have no use for them so thought I would share the resource for FREE. Hope they save a fellow teacher some time and are useful.

A word bank which I have created for my ‘ALN’ groups workbooks. It saves displaying them on the board and I use it to help develop their oracy skills - talk like a food critic.

A Bacteria and Food Safety Quiz used with Year 9 and GCSE. I have used this multiple choice quiz as a starter to test Year 9 on what they remember from Year 7/8 Food.

A quick extension task when covering ‘Semiotics in Advertising’ Please feel free to use/adapt, however just leave a review! #teacherssupportingteachers #worklifebalance

This is a homework task which will help students to apply the conventions of print advertising to their study of the set products and develop their analytical skills. As it is an older example, the Milk Tray advert will also help students to revise historical and social contexts relevant to the set Quality Street product. Students are to use the questions and prompts on the next slide to analyse the Milk Tray advertisement. Please feel free to use/adapt, however, please use a review! Thank you

A homework resource which has been created for Year 11. The homework asks students to analyse the Toblerone advert is from the 1950s. It will help students to revise the codes and conventions of historical adverts and to practise for the unseen analysis for ‘section A’ in the exam. Studnets are asked to analyse the use of visual codes in this advertisement, using the questions on the second slide. Feel free to use/adapt, however, please leave a review! Thank you.

A great resource if you need a quick cover lesson for Art at KS3. The power-point is only basic but it can be further developed. The aim of the lesson is for students to design a shield to be hung at Cardiff Castle. They have a ‘live’ fake brief whereby their shield needs to represent Welsh Culture and Identity. I created the shield on photoshop. There are x3 versions for the students to select from and I got these printed onto A4 or A3 cartridge. For a cover lesson you may just want to print it on normal paper. At KS3 students already have a welsh culture and identity project so I have attached the visual aids which support students. They also look at a range of illustrators such as Quinton Blake etc. Students use fine liners and colouring pencils to create their illustrations.

A presentation which supports a double textiles lesson, linked to the WJEC Fashion and Textiles specification. The lesson content covers the topic of Product Life Cycle from the Core Theory 2.1.1. The presentation is supported with a booklet which you can find on my TES page.

An Art Textiles Skills Task which introduces students to the technique of fabric slashing also known as stitch and slash. Students improve their confidence on the sewing machine which the use of the straight stitch foot exploring layers, use of pattern and colour theory.
