A great resource to introduce KS3 and KS4 to the some of the numeracy content found in the new GCSE Design & Technology exam. Includes: Question paper and mark scheme (7 multi-part questions, 25 marks) Differentiated version including mark scheme (6 multi-part questions with fewer levels of working, 16 marks)

A bundle that will help you to teach product analysis and to introduce the ACCESS FM areas to your learners (Aesthetics, Customer, Cost, Environment, Safety, Size, Function and Materials/Manufacture). The Blooms differentiated questions and keywords are generic so that almost any existing product or design idea can be analysed using the same resource. Included in the bundle: a full colour 8 page printable/editable booklet covering all areas of ACCESS FM with new ‘9-1 style’ graded questions, sentence starters, differentiated keywords and visual aids (all editable in PowerPoint) an A3 double-sided product analysis printable worksheet with match up starter (editable in PowerPoint) an A4 digital product analysis template for learners to type directly into (editable in PowerPoint) I have found this resource very useful in assessing the ability of KS3 learners and in fact it’s so easy to assess that peer and self assessment is a doddle, even with lower ability learners. This resource bundle has drastically improved product analysis activities with my KS3 and KS4 learners and they have enjoyed challenging themselves with higher level questions. (Please note that questions are graded with new 9-1 scale but only cover from 6-1 with the addition of Developing and Emerging grades for KS3).

Great to display in any Art or Design and Technology classroom! Beautiful high resolution infographic poster mapping the emergence, impact and overlapping of key popular 20th Century Design Movements along a timeline of other significant historical and cultural events. If you need the poster in any other resolution or file type, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

This is an A3-sized printable and editable resource that I have designed to help my learners keep track of the evidence in their graphic design portfolios. It allows them, and you as their assessor, to identify what they need to do to improve their grade. The criteria is taken directly from the NCFE grade descriptors for the Level 2 qualification. It has been informally approved by a NCFE moderator as a good way to help internal and external moderators identify evidence in learner portfolios quickly and efficiently. It also makes life a little easier for me as the assessor! The resource contains a tracker sheet for each of the 4 units and they all have a section for formal IQA moderation and learner response section. I hope this resource helps to keep your learner portfolios in check!

A task that my students loved! Designing typography to communicate the meaning of words. Includes extra challenge and extension task. Great when used as a main activity in a lesson, as an easy cover lesson or for homework. Learning links to KS3 Design and Technology, Art and KS4 Graphic Design curriculum.
