Here is a PowerPoint presentation that I used to teach both of my year 9 classes how to draw in oblique projection. The PowerPoint contains a printable slide that I printed out onto A4 and each pupil completed the task in 10-minutes. <br /> <br /> The PowerPoint contains lesson objectives at the start and also a plenary slide to close the lesson. <br /> <br /> The printable handout (slide 5) was designed for AEN pupils. To differentiate for higher abilities you can always remove some of the red guidelines on the handout. <br /> <br /> An extension activity for slide 7 was that pupils could draw any 2Dimensional shape, then draw it using oblique projection. To differentiate this, you could easily mock up an oblique drawing tool on 2D-design and laser-cut it off onto scraps of 3mm acrylic.

<p>Almost x60 retrieval and revision activities aimed to help GCSE D&amp;T Pupils (mainly Product Design, but many cover D&amp;T core knowledge).</p> <p>Currently used as starter (Do Now) activities in KS4 lessons, recapping/retrieving previously taught content. All pupils have a printed A4 booklet and answer the respective question in the alloted time.</p> <p>Wide range of activities, preparing GCSE pupils for the exam.</p>

I use these in almost all of my lessons from year 7 to year 11. I use it for creating design specifications and also when generating design ideas to improve the quality of annotation. <br /> <br /> Pupils work in groups, each point of the ACCESS FM sheet is cut out and each pupil is given a minimum of x1 point. For Specifications - Each group is given a different product to analyse. They then follow sentence starters given to think about what the design specification for their product was. <br /> <br /> Same process for designing - Pupils annotate a design idea in groups or even their own work. Collate their work as a group before feeding back to the class and thus implementing knowledge into their design work.

<p>A trialled and tested excellent activity for pupils transitioning to secondary/high school.</p> <p>Challenge: Design and make a bridge using limited modelling materials, under timed conditions, against a set criteria. The session ends by testing each bridge to destruction and declaring your winners.</p> <p>This can be completed in a stand alone classroom with basic equipment. We usually add a school branded A6 sketchbook and basic stationary as prizes for the winning group.</p>

<p>A staff and pupil friendly checklist of the theory content required for the WJEC GCSE D&amp;T Product Design written exam.</p>

Can be used and dispersed in lessons covering ohms law, resistor values, component symbols. Good starter or plenary activity.

Excellent lesson - especially if pupils have just covered isometric drawing as the plenary recaps on this. <br /> <br /> Used for a higher ability year 9 class where pupils are creating a casing for their picaxe project (Cyberpet).<br /> <br /> I regularly use mini whiteboards in my lessons. I have a selection of whiteboards varied in colours and use this to differentiate learners discreetly. (see slide 6). All pupils draw a suitable net for their Cyberpet. Each group member explores a different construction method (displayed on board)<br /> <br /> All pupils were placed in groups of mixed ability groups of x4. All pupils given graph paper/card printed on A3. Each group is given a worksheet (see slide 16) printed on A3. <br /> <br /> The resource includes incidental Welsh - which is great if you're in teaching in Wales! <br /> <br /> This lesson has plenty of opportunities to explore topics in further detail i.e. scale, material selection, permanent/temporary methods of construction etc.
