Introduction to ACCESS FM getting pupils to analyse a product Lesson contains Starter Hook Mini Review Class Discussion Independent Task Exit Card

I use these in almost all of my lessons from year 7 to year 11. I use it for creating design specifications and also when generating design ideas to improve the quality of annotation. Pupils work in groups, each point of the ACCESS FM sheet is cut out and each pupil is given a minimum of x1 point. For Specifications - Each group is given a different product to analyse. They then follow sentence starters given to think about what the design specification for their product was. Same process for designing - Pupils annotate a design idea in groups or even their own work. Collate their work as a group before feeding back to the class and thus implementing knowledge into their design work.
