A series of A3 revision sheets that dip and dive into the main sections of theory to help in your teaching of the new Design and Technology specification. The sheets can also be given as a revision aid as part of a revision takeaway pack prior to mocks and summer exams. This is the AQA Spec. These resources are best to be printed out onto A3 paper.

The resource is to help you teach the Insect theme for Section A of the AQA GCSE Design and Technology: Textiles Technology exam paper. There are also further A3 resource sheets included in this downloadable pack that cover other theory areas such as: Fabric Construction, Natural and Synthetic Fibres, Recycling and the Environment, Smart and Modern Textiles, Tools and Equipment, Laws Safety and Labels, Industry and ICT Practices. There are plenty of drawing and designing activities to use in conjunction with either an introductory lesson on this years exam Section A and further theory lessons. Additionally, there are some questions relating to how the whole of the exam is set out. It has been illustrated to allow for students to write over, highlight, draw and colour onto! This resource is best printed onto A3 size.

This is a great resource to either introduce or revise over key designers, companies and design movements that are covered in the AQA GCSE Design and Technology spec. It can provide a start to group discussion work, using the written facts, images and descriptions as prompts. Alternatively, you can use it as a card match memory exercise with the cards turned over. I have included images of designers, logos and products with designer, company and design movement names for an easier option and to provide further challenge you could bring in the description cards.
