ALL TEACHERS ~ Key Stage 3 Design and Technology

Year 7

For all year 7 students the current Design and Technology projects (Blister Packs) will be coming to an end in the next two weeks. The new project for all will be: To design and make a Puppet or Mobile that can be hung below a pine cross constructed using a Cross Halving joint. In preparation for the next unit it would be extremely useful for students to complete the following:

Task 1 – Complete a detailed spider diagram for possible themes for your Puppet or Mobile. Then select one of these themes and collect pictures, photos, drawings and text that all link to the theme chosen. Then present these on one A4 page as a mood board that you can later use for inspiration when designing your puppet / mobile.

Task 2 – Research into wood joints (Especially a cross halving joint). Complete a fact page with 4 different wood joints on it and include interesting facts about the joint, such as; its possible uses, construction and tools needed to create the joint.

Year 8

For all year 8 students the current Design and Technology projects (Mountain Games) will be coming to an end in the next two weeks. The new project for all will be: To design and make an indicator (a sign with at least one moving part) that provides people with more than one piece of information. For example students may make a sign that can be turned to reveal different pieces of information. In preparation for the next unit it would be extremely useful for students to complete the following

Task 1 – Students should research into different styles of font and text. They should collect a number of different fonts that they may want to use when constructing their own Indicator.

Task 2 – Complete a detailed spider diagram for possible themes for your Indicator. Then select one of these themes and collect pictures, photos, drawings and text that all link to the theme chosen. Then present these on one A4 page as a mood board that you can later use for inspiration when designing your own Indicator

Year 9

For all year 9 students the current Design and Technology projects (Pewter Jewellery) will be coming to an end in the next few weeks. The new project for all will be: To design and make a flat packed stand for a mobile phone, MP3 player or IPod etc. Pupils will only be given a restricted amount of sheet material (Plywood) to construct the stand. They will not be able to use glue, nails or screws to construct the stand. In preparation for the next unit it would be extremely useful for students to complete the following

Task 1 – Research into ‘knock down’ fittings, wood joints (Especially slot joints) and flat packed furniture. This information should be presented on one A4 page and will be later used as a research page when designing.

Year 10 {Mr Cooley / Mr Ford}:

1. Look through the power point [see downloads] to revise how to do the Innovation challenge. There   are some key points to consider based on the mock exam that you did. There are also some changes that you need to be aware of.

2. Read through the situation and pick out all the key words and phrases.

From this produce a mind map of all the things that you think a relevant to a school sports day.

3. Using your mind map try to gather as much useful and relevant information that could help you.

4. You should also try to practice parts of the innovation challenge that you struggled with in the mock exam. Try to make the work do relate to the theme of School sports day.e.g. Practice writing a design brief or specification. Then drawing some design ideas and evaluate them.

This work is similar to what we would be dong in lessons. By doing this you should be well prepared for your exam.

Please view the film (The Sandman) on the following link. Students are to pick out how camera shots, music and any other features that they notice, create a scary atmosphere for the viewer. They are familiar with the film and will be completing a coursework based on this. If they cannot access the film they can write out what sort of music, film shots and so on they would use to create a scary atmosphere in their own film.

Year 9

Students are to look at the sheet attached to the email. One of these products has been designed for children, and one has been designed for adults. They need to look at colours, images, words used, how the chocolates are presented and so on. They need to identify which product is for adults and which is for children and they need to have four reasons for each product. They will need to have this ready to discuss their next lesson back. This is preparation for their media exam.

Year 8

Students are to prepare their own fable. This is a SHORT story that has animal characters and which has a moral. Examples of this are ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’ and ‘The Fox and the Crow’. I would like them to include dialogue writing if they know how to do this. We will be writing this up in good as an APP task in class. They can see an example of an excellent little fable at the following link:

Year 7

I would like the Year 7s to create their own superhero. These heroes can have a superhero costume, ONE superpower and a cool name. If students are particularly keen, a future homework available on the BBC will be to design a Doctor Who comic on the BBC website. These cannot be saved online and MUST be printed. They do not have to do this, only if they do not have enough work to do, but they MUST have designed their own superhero.
