How to Test and Evaluate Your Prototype

A resource I have put together to help students with this part of the NEA. (Suits all specifications). The resource looks at the expectations of the GCSE specification regarding testing the prototype, how to evaluate against the Design Specification as well as how t achieve the high band marks.
The Lamp Project

The Lamp Project

(1)
Having had a lot of interest on social media, I have decided to make available (for the cost of 1 English pint of beer!) the PowerPoint that I use to help teach the scheme. The PowerPoint covers 16 1 hour lessons, including 2 assessments, one written (included with answer sheet, and one Socrative, again, the link and SOC code are included). The making will take longer than first thought, though as the resource is completely editable can be adapted for all needs and expectations. Each lesson is just one A4 portrait slide - when in presentation mode, press the + and - buttons to zoom into an area and back out again - forgive me if I’m teaching ‘grandma to suck eggs’! I hope this save you a lot of prep time, and for the cost of a beer I think it is well worth it! Cheers! Oz Bennett

A series of 15 A4 slides that accompany the ‘Yr 7 or 8 Graphic Products - Chocolate Box’ teaching resources. Slide 1 is a contents page/ project overview sheet for the students, the following slides are for the 14 lessons in the scheme of work. Key words have been listed on the contents page and there is a separate sheet for the students to record a glossary of terms as they are encountered throughout the project. The resource can be printed in full colour or black and white, or used as a resource to show the students how to best present their work. The PowerPoint format has been created in portrait orientation and is fully editable.

Yr 7 or 8 Graphic Product - The Chocolate Box

(2)
A series of 14, one hour lessons with a paper and boards/ Graphic Products focus. The learning objectives are centred around the D&T GCSE content listed in the specification for the KS4 option, written for the early years of KS3 teaching. Lessons have starter questions and activities, resources needed to teach the lessons and home work/learning tasks where appropriate. Some lessons have extension tasks. There are two DIT and Assessment lessons with the assessment lessons having the questions and answers provided. The resource is fully editable in a M/S PowerPoint file. There is an accompanying Student Resource booklet available, again in a completely editable landscape, PowerPoint file.
Yr9-10 Band Promotion Project

Yr9-10 Band Promotion Project

(0)
This project is suited to Yrs9-10. It is a complete resource for 16 weeks of classroom tasks (94 slides in all) . All supporting resources are included as separate files. The resource is completely editable, and is a good ‘pre-GCSE Final Project’ scheme for the students to get their teeth into. The project is based around the promotion of a band/group/artist of the student choosing. The practical outcomes are a concert ticket/VIP pass, a 7" vinyl record sleeve, a promotional T-Shirt, keyring and gift bag - all based around a re-imagined brand identity designed by the students. The SoW is run as though it is one continuous project, starting with the analysis of the Contextual Challenge, moving into research (the main theory section), creating a Design Specification that leads into the creative work. The creative work is punctuated with practical tasks, from CAD (2D Design and Photopea), to hand skills using mainly paper and boards. Key skills have been built into the project, investigative, evaluative, analytical, communication and planning - all in way that the students would be expected to demonstrate in their final GCSE portfolios. The project has been intentionally designed with limited budgets in mind. Paper and board are the main materials used, with the options of creating small acrylic keyrings, and printed T-shirts (if the students are able to provide the garment themselves). I have run this project through twice, and I feel this latest version contains everything needed for a full terms work at KS4 at 2 to 3 lessons a week.

New Specification D&T Folder - Ideas & Development

(0)
Having taught the new specification D&T course twice now, I have created a thorough, but easy to follow design folder. It has been graded at a high 8 and presents a resource that represents a realistic and achievable piece of course work. The full folder consists of 36 A4 pages and has been chunked down for TES, and can be chunked down further for use in the classroom. A lot of work has gone into this resource (I did the entire course work, practical too, along side my GCSE class so I could share with them my experiences of their course), which is why I ask the price of £5 for the full folder, and the cost of a pint for the individual sections. I will be using this resource myself over the coming years, drip feeding each section to the class, using the slides as examples of good practice. I hope you will find it as useful as I have, cheers, Oz.
