The full collection of pencil bookmarks/table prompts/checklists for improving students written, design/drawing and exam answer work work. Meant for use primarily for secondary school students but can be adapted for Primary level students. It is pretty self explanatory once you download the file. These are organised so that they can be double printed and turned into a pack, as they work used originally. They were made during my teacher training. After finding them at the bottom of a box at my parents, I decided to share the digital version on TES. The font used on the pictures for the headings is one called ‘coffee+tea’ downloadable from DaFont.com. For my downloads, I have changed the font as it was only a demo one. My version also includes my Bitmoji, but I have removed this for the downloadable files.

A pack of display sheets/work aids/revision cards (whatever you choose to use them for) for AQA DT GCSE. This resource is also including the 12 new diverse designers added to the list in the specification June 2022.

A super simple student guide for the AQA Design Technology GCSE although it could be adapted to meet other specifications. UPDATED 2024 Simplified to include an A4 booklet version as well. A page layout guide, tips for each page and guidance on how to write different sections. This was a labour of love and has been the best guide that I have given my students.

Some generic resources for Exercise Books or Booklets. I have used all of these at various points in my career so far and all have proved useful. Included is :- Book Labels GCSE DT course information (AQA) Practical Checklist sheet (for classes where you need to monitor their behaviour more) TAP sheet for recording assessments Written and Practical work TAP sheet

Time consuming venture reflected in the price. Workshop tools display showing hand tools and workshop machinery. This was made for my classroom wall where there was nothing visual for the students to look at. The signs are made with this room in mind but is adaptable for any workshop. The focus of each is to show the tool, a working method and then what the tool is used for. Some tools are similar but show a different technique. Examples are included above. PowerPoint file included for easier personalisation. Fonts are embedded in the files - I called my display ‘Don’t call it a Thingy!’ as students were regularly forgetting the right word.

This letter is designed to give parents nad guardians advice around the GCSE Design and Technology NEA for AQA. It could be re-worded to work with any examination board as well as any qualification. If you download, please leave a review. Thank you! :)

Dice faces made to help those who are struggling to think of an idea or a design. These can be used for a 1 off lesson or for GCSE. I have used them for both and they work really well. Peach = Client you are designing for or target market. Pink = the genre e.g. modern, classic, retro. There is also the option to have an open ended genre ‘Inspired by…’ where the student picks the inspiration. Blue = Where or what the design is to be used for e.g. transportation, sport, arcitecture, fashion. There are 6 faces for each colour. I ordered some large foam dice from ebay, printed then laminated the faces before double sticky taping them to the outside. If you click the image you can use the menu at the top of PowerPoint to resize the image to the dimensions that you need.

A sheet made to support the use of Techsoft 2D Design, including keyboards. Aimed at KS3 but would work for any age range. Some of the instructions are specific to my students but can be changed.

Display for showcasing Careers in Design Technology. The idea is that each of the carers is part of a ‘Hive’ so you can connect them together like a hive. Salarys per year are included on each hexagon. Includes links to various sectors including food careers, engineering and construction.
