DT Mechanisms - Wheels and Axles - Researching!
This engaging and purposeful series of lessons enables children to gradually develop towards constructing prototype vehicles using wheels and axles. The resources were originally created to guide children towards building safari buggies, but the resources can easily be adapted to fit your own particular project.
This first lesson helps children to:
-Understand how wheel and axle mechanisms work;
-Consider objects, vehicles and tools that use wheel and axle mechanisms;
-Understand what the chassis and body of vehicles are;
-Begin thinking about design considerations of the wheels, axles, chassis and body of different vehicles, with a particular consideration of purpose and audience.
Included is an eye-catching and comprehensive 20-slide PowerPoint presentation, and a research template (in both Word and PDF).
These lessons were originally created for children in year 2, but may be adapted for slightly older and younger year groups.
Magazines - Genre and Audience! (Writing Front Covers)
This engaging and interactive lesson enables students to analyse the techniques that magazine writers use to meet their genre and audience. In particular, students identify the generic conventions of different types of magazines, consider the effectiveness of different model examples, and create their own interesting and appropriate front covers.
Over the course of their learning journey, students:
- Define and exemplify what genre/generic conventions/audiences are;
- Identify and understand the different generic conventions for various genres and audiences, using a range of different model example magazine front covers;
- Analyse the techniques that magazine writers use to appeal to their audiences in their front covers;
- Use a wide-range of generic conventions in writing their own front covers;
- Peer and self assess each other's front cover attempts.
The resources include:
-Visually engaging whole-lesson PowerPoint;
-A colourful and clear success criteria;
-Worksheet for identifying audiences and genres;
-Blank front cover template;
-Five magazine front cover model examples for analysis;
-Helpful and comprehensive step-by-step lesson plan.
