Part © is the biggest question on sheet 1: develop and sketch three separate ideas, for 12 marks. Students lose marks by drawing the same idea three times, writing notes that only describe the design, leaving out construction detail, or running out of time before idea three. This pack drills one routine for any product: 1 list. 3 ideas. Tick & build. 1 list – every must in the brief, plus part (a) points. 3 ideas – change how it works, not the colour. Tick & build – a note for each must on every idea, and a material, a joint or fixing, and a size. WHAT’S INCLUDED 19-page student workbook with the method, key words, a worked example (three sketched bird feeder ideas), common mistakes and 6 ORIGINAL exam-style questions. Each question has a musts list, a big-ideas planner, three full-size idea boxes, a self-check and an Extension task. Questions 1–3 are scaffolded with numbered musts and hints. Mark scheme with marking bands in plain English, three model ideas for every question (18 in total) with ticks and build notes, what not to credit, and model sketches A4 classroom poster: 1 list. 3 ideas. Tick & build. 16-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes, linked to the workbook Read-me guide with a suggested 60-minute lesson plan Every document comes as an editable Word or PowerPoint file and a print-ready PDF. Each workbook question is a full 18-minute exam task, so the pack also works for homework, a sequence of starters or timed mock practice. Try the method first: the Part © lesson is also available free on my TES shop, and there’s a free video walkthrough on YouTube (@MrSofianDT). All questions are original and written in the style of IGCSE D&T (0445) Paper 1. They are not copied from past papers. Not endorsed by or affiliated with Cambridge University Press & Assessment.

Part (b) asks for sketches and notes showing two methods of doing one job, for 4 marks. Most students draw the whole product, small and with no labels, so the examiner can’t see how the job is done. This pack drills the 1 · 2 · 3 routine until every sketch scores both its method mark and its drawing mark: 1 job – box the words after “methods of / for” and spot any rule. 2 ways – two different verbs (HANG it, SLIDE it, TURN it, CLAMP it…). 3 things – DRAW it, ARROW it, LABEL it. WHAT’S INCLUDED 11-page student workbook with the method, a verb bank, a worked example, a “where the marks are lost” page and 6 ORIGINAL exam-style questions. Each question has full-size answer boxes, a self-check and an Extension task, and Questions 1–3 are scaffolded with verb hints. Mark scheme with acceptable methods for every question and 8 annotated, hand-drawn-style model sketches A4 classroom poster: 1 job. 2 ways. 3 things. 16-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes, linked to the workbook Read-me guide with a suggested 60-minute lesson plan Every document comes as an editable Word or PowerPoint file and a print-ready PDF. Try the method first: the Part (b) lesson is also available free on my TES shop, and there’s a free video walkthrough on YouTube (@MrSofianDT).

Part (a) should be the easiest 4 marks on IGCSE Design & Technology Paper 1 – yet many students walk out with just 1. They copy the brief back out, or write points that could describe any product (“it must be safe”, “it must look nice”). This pack fixes that with one simple routine that works for every product: CROSS IT OUT. THEN THE 4 Ws. • WHERE is it used? • WHO uses it? • WHAT IF it rains, falls or breaks? • WHEN is it finished with? One qualified “It must…” point from each W = four additional points in about 90 seconds. Short, memorable words make it ideal for EAL learners. WHAT’S INCLUDED • 14-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes – do now, the method, worked example, common errors, guided and independent practice, peer check and exit ticket • 11-page student workbook – method, key words, worked example and 6 original exam-style questions (Questions 1–3 scaffolded, 4–6 in exam layout), each with an Extension task • Mark scheme with model answers for all 6 questions, plus what not to accept • A4 classroom poster • Read-me guide with a suggested 60-minute lesson plan Every file comes as an editable Word or PowerPoint document plus a print-ready PDF. All questions are original and written in the style of IGCSE D&T (0445)

Part (a) is the first question on IGCSE Design & Technology Paper 1. It should be the easiest 4 marks on the paper, but many students only get 1. They copy the brief, or they write generic points like “it must be safe” or “it must look nice”. This free lesson teaches one simple routine that works for any product: Cross it out. Then the 4 Ws. • WHERE is it used? • WHO uses it? • WHAT IF it rains, falls or breaks? • WHEN is it finished with? Students write one qualified “It must…” point for each W. That gives four additional points in about 90 seconds. WHAT’S INCLUDED • 14-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes • Do now, the two rules (cross it out, qualify every point) and the 4 Ws • Worked example (bird feeder) and “these would score 0” • Guided practice with model answers • Independent practice in exam layout, with an Extension task • Peer check and exit ticket • Print-ready PDF copy All questions and scenarios are original and written in the style of IGCSE Design & Technology (0445) Paper 1. They are not copied from past papers. There is a free video walkthrough of the method on YouTube: @MrSofianDT. WANT THE FULL PACK?

Part (b) asks students to use sketches and notes to show two methods of doing one job, for 4 marks. The most common mistake is drawing the whole product, small and with no labels. That earns almost nothing, because the examiner can’t see how the job is done. This free lesson teaches a simple 1 · 2 · 3 routine: 1 job – box the words after “methods of / for” and spot any rule (“only card”, “mechanical”). 2 ways – pick two different verbs (HANG it, SLIDE it, TURN it, CLAMP it…). If the verb is the same, it’s the same method. 3 things – on every sketch: DRAW it (big, 3D), ARROW it (how it works), LABEL it (parts and materials). Each sketch is worth a method mark and a drawing mark, and the lesson shows students how to get both. WHAT’S INCLUDED • 16-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes • Do now: which sketch answers part (b)? • How part (b) is marked, then the method step by step, with a verb bank • Worked example with hand-drawn-style model sketches (bird feeder) • Where the marks are lost • Guided practice with a model answer • Independent practice in exam layout, with an Extension task • Peer check and exit ticket • Print-ready PDF copy All questions and scenarios are original and written in the style of IGCSE Design & Technology (0445) Paper 1. They are not copied from past papers. There is a free video walkthrough of the method on YouTube: @MrSofianDT. WANT THE FULL PACK? The Part (b) pack adds an 11-page student workbook with 6 original exam-style questions (with answer boxes, self-checks and an Extension task for each), a mark scheme with acceptable methods for every question and 8 annotated model sketches, and an A4 classroom poster.

Part © is the biggest question on sheet 1 of IGCSE Design & Technology Paper 1: develop and sketch three separate ideas, for 12 marks. The most common mistake is drawing the same idea three times with a different colour, shape or size. Notes that only describe the design, and missing construction details, also cost students marks. This free lesson teaches one simple routine that works for any product: 1 list. 3 ideas. Tick & build. 1 list – underline every must in the brief and add your part (a) points. This list becomes your own mark scheme. 3 ideas – change how it works, not the colour. Test: can you say each idea in one different sentence? Tick & build – on every idea, write a note for each must saying how this idea meets it, and show how it’s made (a material, a joint or fixing, and a size). Students learn where the 6 communication marks and the 6 suitable-design marks come from, and why two ideas can only score 8. WHAT’S INCLUDED • 16-slide editable PowerPoint lesson with speaker notes • Do now: how many ideas is this? • How part © is marked, and the method step by step • Worked example: three separate bird feeder ideas with hand-drawn-style sketches, every must ticked and every idea built • Where the marks are lost • Guided practice (recipe phone stand) with hints and a three-idea model answer • Independent practice in exam layout (balcony herb planter), with an Extension task • Peer check and exit ticket • Print-ready PDF copy All questions and scenarios are original and written in the style of IGCSE Design & Technology (0445) Paper 1. They are not copied from past papers. There is a free video walkthrough of the method on YouTube: @MrSofianDT.
