A full set of NEA guidance booklets for A-level D&T. The booklets talk the students through a ‘standard’ NEA powerpoint / portfolio. Each has a page by page description, along with doodles of what a page should look like (but doesn’t breach the exam board guidance). Has been used successfully for 2 years now, with high grade results. Students have been highly complimentary as to the guide’s usefulness and clarity. This is not 200 pages of written content, it’s written for 17/18 year olds, so get’s to the point without waffling or being too vague. NB: I teach section A&B (as known by AQA in the specification) as ‘Section A’ as I find it easier to do the brief/spec in the first chunk. Therefore the guidance appears as only 4 sections, but does cover all 5.

A4 guide sheet (blank A3 also needed), which guides children through a mindmap, specification ahead of designing their own seating (and then drawing up in orthographic) Great cover for any KS3 class.

A couple of worksheets based on Lego Mini Vehicles (simple Lego models). Children are tasked with drawing up the photographed model in isometric. At the top of the page I have modeled this task in simple steps. To draw, use thick/thin lines, and then render the models should take around an hour per sheet. File enclosed is a printable PDF and accompanying jpeg. I have other sheets available in this series, or a compilation package too.

Theory session on paper & board including printing, die cutting and registration marks. I usually do this over two weeks.

16 Slide PowerPoint covering the necessary theory for AQA A-Level Design & Technology. Lesson includes group tasks, mini white board Q’s along with a starter task / exam question consolidation/plenary.

A set of 14 powerpoint slides, to be used as a ‘landing’ or ‘holding’ page for GCSE D&T lessons, while a group arrives online. Essentially, start your meeting, start the presentation, and leave it full screen while the children enter. Each slide will take around 5 minutes for them to complete individually. They are framed whereby they can compose their answers in the chat function, and are not to hit send until asked. Topics cover a variety of theory from across the subject, and each slide has a moving gif image to engage.

Double sided A4 self directed cover lesson. Children design a new mobile phone and associated operating system, then design a quick start guide instruction leaflet for new users. The focus is on UCD, and instructional graphics.

Enclosed in this pack are three resources for distribution. Parental/Student focussed help sheet for installing the classroom app, and accessing via the web (you will need to personalise some elements of this to your own school, but will save you hours!) Teacher’s help sheet as to the best ways of accessing and using Google Meets. A teacher’s help sheet for making more efficient use of assessment within Google Classroom (such as rubrics, voice dictation and such). All have been used for a few months, and have had positive feedback.

A two page document for staff including editable versions to make it bespoke to your school situation. Page 1 - Refelction on what was covered last year against key points. Page 2 - Planning (or re-planning) owing to interuption to learning.
