IGCSE Design and Technology 0445 Paper 1 Part (a)
Part (a) should be the easiest 4 marks on IGCSE Design & Technology Paper 1 – yet many students walk out with just 1. They copy the brief back out, or write points that could describe any product (“it must be safe”, “it must look nice”).
This pack fixes that with one simple routine that works for every product:
CROSS IT OUT. THEN THE 4 Ws.
• WHERE is it used?
• WHO uses it?
• WHAT IF it rains, falls or breaks?
• WHEN is it finished with?
One qualified “It must…” point from each W = four additional points in about 90 seconds. Short, memorable words make it ideal for EAL learners.
