Food Technology Cover and Lesson Plans I

Subject: Food Technology
Level: Secondary
Age Group: 14 - 16
Order Number: 4037

This material has been developed to help older students (14 - 16 age range) who are following a Food Technology course to GCSE examination level.

It contains over 40 work sheets and information sheets that are easily accessible.

The resource is structured so that it allows students of lower ability, or bilingual pupils with limited English acquisition, full access to the course, whilst giving higher ability students a basis on which to build and extend their creativity. It is particularly useful when teaching a mixed ability class as it allows students to work independently and at their own level and pace.

The work sheets are sequential and follow the design process from the initial problem or brief through development and industrial processes to the product launch, thus, providing the student with a blueprint to follow.

They provide writing frames and instructions allowing experienced teachers maximum flexibility and teachers new to the subject with clear guidelines to follow.

This format and way of teaching the course is devised and well tested by an experienced teacher and examination moderator and it has been proved to raise examination grades as the students have a clear picture of what they need to do and in what order they need to do it. It helps them to understand the design process and is ideal for the AQA coursework specifications.

The use of ICT is encouraged throughout and specialist programs can be easily incorporated into this flexible medium.

Food Technology is a specialised practical subject. Food Technology Cover and Lesson Plans I and II have been developed to provide Departments with easy to use and stand alone lesson plans, which would be useful, when cover work is required. This comprehensive material has been developed to accommodate unforeseen and urgent situations.

The second set of lesson plans have been compiled with different class and extension work to cater for gifted, talented and able students (GTA), who might otherwise be forgotten in other teaching resources. The work formulated for the GTA students requires them to undertake in depth research to analyse, evaluate and use information effectively.

The teaching material could also form part of existing schemes of work for 11-16 year olds to help them prepare and organise their time effectively before completing a practical application; this could be an added bonus for fully qualified Food Technology teachers.

Each project has a full set of worksheets that give clear instructions to staff as to how to administer the material, together with discussion points and a list of the resources required. The students' worksheets set out the brief/topic together with a format showing how this is to be achieved successfully. All the sheets contained in these projects are based on Food Technology topics and are relevant to current education policies. The material has been designed with the knowledge that not all lessons are allocated the same amount of time; therefore, the work set can accommodate this. The material could provide a valuable contribution to the students' experiences in soft technology.
