Design & Technology: A Complete Course for Secondary Schools These new photocopiable books make a complete course in Design & Technology for years 7 to 11, leading directly into GCSE. The books follow a common approach for each year, using a linear model of a design process, and the course includes work in wood, plastics, metal, graphics and electronics. The course is divided into a series of three projects per year, corresponding with the three terms, and is based on one 60 minute lesson per week for years 7, 8 & 9 and two for years 10 & 11. Each year's course work is discrete and forms a separate book but is designed to provide continuity and reinforcement of skills and knowledge throughout each Key Stage. The KS3 projects form the broad topic of Resistant Materials and the KS4 projects form the broad topic of Product Design. The course for year 11 relates directly to GCSE examination syllabi. The coursework material for each project comprises: outline lesson notes for every lesson, expectations for students' project folders and resource material which may be used as photocopied handouts or OHTs. The course is proven and results at GCSE and beyond by students who have followed it are consistently comparable with national results. The photocopiable books cater for a range of teaching styles and can be used by specialist and non-specialist teachers alike. Contents: Year 8- Unit 1: Materials: Metals - Biscuit Cutter.

A set of Design and Technology alphabet copying masters for D & T rooms, designed to contribute to the literacy impact of the environment and add visual stimulus by displaying essential vocabulary in an attractive and easily absorbed format. The alphabet supports developing literacy skills for ages 8 to 16 by matching vocabulary with appropriate graphics for easier interpretation of words. A complete alphabet is usually placed in order around the room to aid alphabetic sequencing and to act as visual aids for the teacher, but they could also be used as flash cards. The complete set consists of forty-two black and white A4 masters with clear line drawings. The extra letter posters above twenty-six give alternative words for some letters in order to allow the display to be tailored to the age group of teaching topic. Each letter poster is designed for copying and then hand colouring by pupils to increase their sense of ownership of the words before laminating or mounting on card for display. Alternatively, posters can be put into A4 plastic folders fixed to notice boards to make them easy to change and keep children's attention on them from one lesson to the next. The specially designed Sassoon font is used throughout to support and link to handwriting development for younger pupils and to maintain clarity. find out more | ABC of Technology  £35.24
