Global Goals - Life Below Water Textiles Project - Felt Animals

A KS3 Textiles project that introduces students to the global goals and encourages them as designers to create solutions to target global goal 14 : Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development. The resource contains a 35 page slide show that starts by introducing the students to the global goal and then setting them a design context that relates to it. The resource has structured lessons that will guide students through the design process and introduce them to basic hand sewing techniques. Students will create a sewing pattern and then create a product using these hand sewing techniques. The resource has an accompanying project booklet and other resources. This is a brilliant project that I have delivered to KS3 students over the past few years and they really connect with it and adore their outcomes. A great introduction to Textiles as the project is challenging but accomplishable enough for students of their age. The project has the depth to stretch higher ability students as much as it facilitates for not so able. Can be a great project to insert into a KS3 DT rotation/carousel. Booklet is editable and simple enough to incorporate into a larger yearly booklet.
