Mock Booklet for students to time how long it takes to answer the questions in Section A of the 2017 Graphics Exam

A design resource that works by helping pupils to be inspired by their peers. It's a good a idea to time them on each design task. By sitting them on table of four they can then pass it round four times to gather other ideas. Works really well by sitting the stronger designers next to the weaker members of the class.
The 4x4 style resource to help students design ideas with other members of the class.
Group students on a table of 4 and then time how long they have to design a product. After each student has designed a product it is passed round to the next student.
