Pupils’ love being creative with this project. Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (Literacy, Geography, Science) links, whilst requiring very little resources (only paper and product examples). Also Included are diffirenciated resources and teacher examples. In this third lesson, students will continue the iterative product design process. Students complete sketching their initial ideas after a warm-up drawing exercise. This then leads to an introduction to isometric drawing techniques through various individual drawing exercises. They then render their own chosen design as a final drawing in an isometric projection. Lesson consists of literacy starter> class discussions>prep task> main task. Lesson is a double but could be extended over several lessons. If you enjoyed this lesson, please see the other lessons in my Product Design series/SOW (where the full iterative design process is covered). In this unit, pupils will gain an understanding into what is product design and the creative process of a designer, from existing research/analysis, writing a specification, initial ideas, isometric drawing and CAD modelling.

What is debugging and how can I fix errors? This lesson acts as a short introduction to what debugging is and explains the principles of identifying and fixing errors found in code, applied in a practical and fun way. ♦ Introduction to ‘Debugging’ and the additional keywords: error and fix. ♦ Practical activity where students draw their own coding problem and arranging printed ‘blocks’ in order to challenge one-another and practice debugging before moving and applying on the computer. ♦ Practical coding activity to debug the basics of a program. This is the first introductory lesson of a unit/project that introduces students to the exciting world of coding!
