Students design four words using typefaces or fonts that look like their meanings. Students just need a pencil, rubber and some colouring pencils. Aimed as KS3 or a little either side depending on the students. Good for a cover lesson, isolation work or a homework etc.

A worksheet to introduce students to the concept of** iterative design**. It’s an hour’s lesson and can be used as a cover lesson, a homework or in class as part of a D&T course. Suitable for KS3 or KS4 but particularly for students approaching the non-exam assessment in GCSE Product Design, Resistant Materials and Graphics. The worksheet focuses on primary stakeholder feed back and user centred design (UCD). Students just need a pencil and maybe a ruler and rubber and someone close by to act as the primary stakeholder – so in class they will need to chat to their neighbour. Stakeholder or peer assessed at the end with verbal feedback. Includes timings to make sure they don’t whiz through it.

A graphics ‘course’ that introduces students to toning and shading, rendering, isometric, isometric circles and orthographic. It’s all self-contained so students work straight on the booklet. The booklet can be printed as seperate A4 sheets or on A3 landscape that can then be stapled into booklet form. It includes peer assessment and and a quick and easy mark scheme for teachers. Ideal for extended staff absence or if you are a non-specialist or non-accredited H&S D&T teacher that’s been given a D&T group and don’t know what to do with them. Some graphics knowledge is useful/expected though, and you’ll need isometric circle or ellipse templates. You will probably find those templates under a pile of old set squares covered in used sand paper in that yellow plastic tray labeled ‘steel rules’!
