Here is a sheet that I drew up that contains a 3D template for students to draw their ideas on. It also contains a simplified and topic adjusted version of Erica_C_Hanson's 'How to Annotate' sheet. These resources were used with an Autistic Group of Year 7/8 Students at the Special School I work at. I hope you find them useful.

A worksheet that includes some scans from a graphic novel version of the Hobbit with the text parts blanked out. The idea is that the pupils come up with the conversation that they think will have been held between Smaug and Bilbo. This was a worksheet I made when I had an English tutor. I've never tried it with children so would be interested to hear how well it goes down with classes.

This booklet was originally made for a Design and Technology club that I was running at my Special Needs school. We had a range of pupils from Year 5 to Year 9. It was aimed at helping the students in primary transition in to secondary. The project was carefully chosen to use as wide a range of skills as possible. All of the students have a statement for autism. The workbook starts with a page on DT room safety; it then looks at the properties of materials and why they are suitable for the tasks we want to do with them; a bit of product research; design work; two worksheets covering how to vacuum form and solder and a simple sheet to do an evaluation on.

Here are a couple of sheets I made for one of our classes that was making bird feeders. One of the two sheets is a matching exercise where the pupils have to draw lines to link up the pictures of the birds with their names and descriptions. The other sheet is related to why the number of garden birds are decreasing and formed the basis for a piece of research that they needed to do.

An A3 page border with a DT theme using some of the tool images that I've uploaded seperately to TES.

A series of three sheets to help students start the design process. It includes a template for them to record the design brief on - then moves on to an initial ideas sheet with room to record two ideas. Finally there is a sheet for them to use to carry out an access FM analysis of their prefered idea to help them develop it. This series of worksheets was used by a class in the Special School (Autism) where I work.

A PowerPoint going through the immediate leadup to the First World War. There are hyperlinks on some of the slides defining key words incase students don't understand them. Where possible these are related to things that they should know about. There are 10 main slides and 7 hidden ones containing definitions (of terms such as Heir, Consitution and Alliance).

A booklet for children to explain the dangers the are around them. This includes choosing two places and listing the dangers associated with them. There is also space to write about strangers danger, fire safety, the green cross code and to develop their own code. Originally it was made for my Cub Scouts so that they could complete their Personal Safety Badges at home.

A couple of pieces that I wrote about Kenya when I had an English tutor. One looks at the naming traditions of the Kikuyu tribe whilst the other looks at the typical days of a 10 year old girl both during holiday time and on a normal school day. These sheets might be useful for introducing pupils to the differences between the UK and Kenya.

3 worksheets covering: Band Saw; Pillar Drill and Disc Sander. They ask the students to explain a safety rule relating to the equipment. When they have used the equipment and what the equipment is for. Each sheet has a hand drawn picture of the tool it relates to within my own school. I hope these might also be useful to some other people.

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.

5 worksheets covering the following items: hammer; g-cramp; tenon saw; coping saw and safety goggles. For each worksheet there are 6 differentiated variants: 1 - copy the name of the tool; 2 - find the name of the tool and write it; 3 - unscramble the name of the tool; 4 - fill in the missing words; 5 - complete the sentences (only the starts are given) and 6 - write about the tools (they are only given instructions of what to write about). Each sheet has an extension activity of colouring in the picture of the tool (or shading it at the higher levels).

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 sheet with 8 spaces for students to draw and write about the stages they have to go through when making a bird feeder. There is also space for students to list the tools and materials they need when making the feeder.

A sheet for students to name a selection of Map Symbols. Originally made for my Cub Scouts but could be used for a range of other settings including Duke of Edinburgh. The sheet asks you to write the name that relates to a variety of Map Symbols.

A set of sheets that I made for our Special School (Autism) to help introduce Access FM Analysis to them. They were doing a topic on making MDF frames for mirrors so as a bit of research had them do the analysis of these existing products. There are 8 different designs in this pack. There are short hints to what each word of ACCESS FM means.

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

A matching exercise where students have to match photos of various objects with the symbols that related to them. Originally made for use with my Cubs but should also come in hand for training those on the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme and anyone learning basic map skills.

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.

A simple booklet that I made for some of our Autistic Students to encourage them to do their life skills work. They used this booklet to record what they had done in the lesson (cleaning, washing up, ironing, etc...) and then were given a target by the member of staff with them for the next lesson. There is also a second page that they can use to stick any pictures of them doing these activities to.
