A few sheets to make up a TEACCH Tools activity where special needs students (autism) have to match the tool to its name.

A descriptive writing task based after the events of the Hobbit but staring the books main characters. I've written a synopsis for the events I thought might take place but the pupils need to flesh out the story with some descriptive writing. I suspect the level at the moment is probably too high but I'm uploading it here in case anyone likes the idea and wants to tweak it a bit to make it suitable. This was another one of the items that I wrote for my English tutor.

A sheet showing young people the different flag positions for the alphabet / numbers in semaphore. This could be used to examine communication and how it only works if both people are paying attention and understand what you are saying.

An A4 sheet with the lyrics to the song Jambo Jambo Bwana.

This is a set of sheets (the set I used, I laminated) that you can use to record the completion of a staged set of swimming activities. These are based upon the Scout Staged Swimming Badges but our PE teacher also decided they were useful as he felt they formed a nice progression that was suitable for our Special Needs students. The sheets have the room to write on a students name and then space to tick off each activity as they complete it. (You'll need a permanent marker to write on a laminated sheet.)

Here are a series of 4 differentiated worksheets to help students create a persuasive poster encouraging people to buy Bug Houses that they were producing as part of their Design and Technology lessons. This set of posters formed part of an observed lesson and was designed to show cross curricular links with English. (As we currently have a focus on writing within our school.) We started the lesson by showing the students a variety of adverts and talking about the features they use.

A Birthdays List and Class Door Sign that I made for use in our Special Need's School. The basic template I made may save you making one from scratch. If I find any other versions that I&'ve designed I&';ll edit this post and add them to it.

A set of A4 pages that I printed out and laminated with Road Sign borders (feel free to edit it to use this part of the card) to give the meanings of various UK road signs. The Cubs then walked around the local area taking photos of road signs with the correct page of the booklet shown in the photo. We decided this was a bit more fun than sitting in the hut identifying signs. Hopefully it might come in useful to some other people.

A worksheet that asks students to match pictures of tools to their names by drawing a line between them. Designed for lower ability students. Originally made for use with some of our students working at the lower national curriculum levels in the Special School I work at for Children with Autism.

Here is a PowerPoint I have made for Durham City and District Scout's Christingle. I&'m uploading it here as you might like to borrow parts of it for an assembly (there are lyrics in place for Away in a Manger, The Christingle Song, Shine Jesus Shine, Once in Royal David&';s City and Show me the way to shine for Jesus. I have left the video from the Children's Society in place but have had to remove Bethlehem Rhapsody for space reasons (I&'ve included a YouTube link).

A set of pages designed to be printed out at A4 and put up around a room. Contains Cardinal Points (N, E, S, W) down to Secondary Intercardinal Points (NNE, ENE, etc...) Can then be used to help students know which way to run when playing the North East South West game (where they have to run to the right place) and similar games. Also includes the bearings to allow a bit of variation. Was originally produced for use in our Scout Hut with Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

A worksheet that is designed to help teach students how to annotate their research to help them gain higher grades in examinations later in their school lives. This resource was made for the autistic students from the Special School that I work at. It is also designed in a way to encourage the students to have to do some written work and to give them a degree of choice. This resource now contains 3 different differentiations of the 2nd sheet (the page the pupils need to write on).

A number of worksheets to cover a project where the pupils make a storage tray. The first sheet covers shading, 2nd writing a design brief and explaining who the product is targetted at, 3rd ACCESS FM Analysis, 4th Ergonomics and Specification, 5th Handle Design and types of joint, 6th Final Design and the last page Development and Testing and Evaluation.

A TEACCH activity where students have to match a photo of the type of tool to a simple description about what it is used for. This worksheet includes: Laser Cutter, Pillar Drill, Vinyl Cutter and Thermo Forming Centre.

A worksheet that asks students to colour in the tools they will use in a project from a selection of given tools. Designed for use with our Special Needs students (autism).

A series of worksheets to take students through the initial stages of making a Frame for a Mirror. The sheets include: Research, ACCESS FM Analysis of an Existing Product, Specification, Initial Designs (includes an isometric grid) and another ACCESS FM analysis sheet to help pupils develop their ideas. These worksheets were used by a class at the Special School where I work. (Autistic Students).

A poster to show students what is expected of them if they are performing at the Democracy level of the Raise Responsibility system. This is a system that encourages students to take ownership of their own behaviour.

A sheet to help students understand where they should be trying to go next in terms of their learning to help them make progress with regards to p-levels or National Curriculum levels. I've left in some of the targets we set students this term (autumn 2013) but have removed their names from the sheet. You should easily be able to modify them for your own use.

A score sheet for an Egg Drop Team Building Activity. Each of the materials available for use has a purchase price and the teams score based on how much of their budget they have remaining as we as on design and whether the egg survives.

A sheet that requires students to correctly sequence four of the stages involved in making a product. (Design, Marking Out, Cutting (etc...) and Assembly) They also have to fill in additional details about each of these stages. In this case the product shown in production is a bird house though the stages are the same for any hands on DT that doesn't require specialist equipment.
