Description
This student text aims to provide a structured but flexible foundation course for 11-14 year olds, together with a sound basis for all Craft, Design and Technology (CDT) GCSE options. It is designed to help students develop the skills of problem-solving, as well as skills in research, formulation of a brief, analysis, generating ideas, modelling and planning, realization and evaluation. The book presents over 40 projects which are divided into three levels, moving from teacher-directed assignments in level A, to more open-ended assignments requiring greater pupil involvement in level C. It also includes a full colour section using work taken from both students and professional designers to show the use of good graphic presentation.
