Lesson Plans and Helpsheets
Lesson Plans
These lesson plans are suggestions and should be adapted to fit a particular class or group of children as appropriate. Not all schools allocate time for D&T in the same way and suggestions for altering times and sessions are included in supplementary notes for each unit. All 25 lesson plans have a common format and are designed to help non-specialists in their planning and delivery of the Scheme of Work. Each unit is divided into a number of sessions with one A4 sheet covering a complete lesson.
Supplementary notes are written for each unit and include suggestions about planning, alternative methods of working, ideas and tips from teachers. Exemplar planning and design, product analysis or evaluation sheets are also included. Many of these are generic and could be adapted for use in the different units. An example lesson plan is available to download: Unit 1D: Homes Lesson Plan pt1and pt2 The entire Lesson Plan 2C is available for download in the Resource Vault (Members only), please login with your username and password to access the file.
