Redesign an everyday product to meet the need of a chosen user. This small project is divided into 4 tasks that are set up in the same sequence of the NEA. I use this as an extended piece of homework for Year 9 as a transition into Year 10.

Initial idea success checklist. To ensure students have covered all the success criteria with communicating their designs I get them to use the check list.

AQA GCSE NEA checklist that has all the pages needed linked to the mark scheme. There is one for textiles focus and one for product design. I use it as a Google sheet on Google Classrooms so that students can edit it and I can monitor their progress. Made on excel so it can be edited.

Writing framework to support students to create a design criteria with sentence starters for ‘musts’ and ‘coulds’ . There is a connective bank to help extend writing and examples.

Writing framework for design development for material testing. Sentence starters, checklist and connectives to support students to annotate their material testing page during the development of their designs.

A pic ‘n’ mix revision booklet for Design and Technology GCSE. 15 pages with 50 video explanations, 28 exam questions and over 50 revision tasks. To be used independently, during tutor time, supporting class revision for students and parent/carers. If a student only completes the definitions and watches the videos they should get a 4/5 grade in the exam. I created it for students who are disengaged with revision. For each topic there is:- video explanations definitions of key terms question exam questions further revision tasks The sections link to the AQA specification, however it is fully editable so you can adapt to fit other exam boards. It covers: Core technical principles Specialist technical principles - timber (although most are generic links/questions so can be adapted to other materials) Design and making principles Feedback welcome.
