CYCLE 2
Welcome to cycle 2 and hope we will continue to learn from each other and have fun as well. I also look forward to showcasing your technological outcomes and to celebrate your achievements.
TECHNOLOGICAL PRACTICE
A. BRIEF DEVELOPMENT
B. PLANNING FOR PRACTICE (Extension students will have to design own planning tool)
C. OUTCOME DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION
You will be required to use previous knowledge and skills especially those gained in Cycle 1 to design and complete a technological outcome that solves a problem or need identified from given design brief.
YEAR 7
CHOOSE ONE OF THE DESIGN BRIEFS BELOW
1.
Research shows that drinking water helps you to think faster, be more
focused, and creative so many students are bringing in water bottles into
classrooms. Therefore, the textiles technology department will like classrooms
to have water bottle holders that students can use.
TASK: The textiles technology department wants you to
use your creativity to design and sew a water bottle holder that Intermediate
students will like.
2.
Lots
of cushions, pillows and devices are becoming part of modern learning classroom
environments. Students have the hardest time getting everything out there
without dropping it all. How can this problem be solved?
TASK: The
textiles technology department requires you to use your creativity to design
and sew a study pillow for a year 7 classroom.
3.
The
school is a having an end of year picnic. The textiles technology department
has lots of pucker nylon fabric from previous year and will like each student
to have a swimming bag for the picnic.
TASK: The textiles technology department wants you to use your creativity to design and sew a sample swimming
bag that Year 7 students will like.
REQUIREMENTS
FOR ALL TASKS
A.
Your product
must be unique
B.
You have to
use applique as one of the sewing skills.
C.
You
can only use one fabric for the main project.
D.
You
can use other fabrics already in the technology room, old clothes or scraps of
fabric from home for trimmings, pockets and applique if required.
E. You can use fastening if desired but you cannot use a zip or
sew buttonholes.
YEAR 8
CHOOSE ONE OF THE DESIGN BRIEFS BELOW
1. Balmoral school encourages BYOD and the school has
also invested in iPads and other devices for classroom use.
TASK: The
textiles technology department will like you to use your creativity to design
and sew an iPad cover or sleeve for classroom devices or covers that students
will like to buy for their own use.
2. The school is
a having an end of your picnic and we will be going to the venue by bus. The
technology department has lots of oxford nylon fabric from previous year and
will like each year 8 student to have a carry-on luggage bag for the picnic.
TASK: The department wants
you to use your creativity to design and sew a sample carry-on luggage bag that
Year 8 students will like using pattern provided. You are required to modify
the pattern without changing the shape of the bag.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL
TASKS
A. Your product
must be unique
B. You have to
use applique as one of the sewing skills.
C. You can only
use one fabric for the main bag and not more than two for the iPad cover.
D. You can use
other fabrics already in the technology room, old clothes or scraps of fabric
from home for trimmings, pockets and applique if required.
E. You have to use at least one fastening on your
bag or iPad cover.
RESEARCH
DUE DATE: LESSON 3
WEEK 2 TERM 3
Research and modelling are stages in a technological process.
Research and examine existing technological outcomes similar
to the design brief you have chosen to work on. You can also talk to other
technologists or adults.
Bring to class information on materials used, features,
shapes, pictures and ideas that will be useful to you as you design and model
your own outcome.
TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY 2016
TEXTILES TECHNOLOGY 2016
Welcome back to all year 8 students. I look forward to continue teaching
you using different soft materials. To year 7 students, I look forward to
getting to know each of you and work with you in my room.
The technology curriculum will be delivered using our school model- CIB
(Curriculum Inquiry at Balmoral). We will discuss this in class.
CYCLE ONE
1. All students will have the opportunity
to develop and demonstrate a range of sewing skills through various learning
experiences provided in class.
2. All students will identify a need from
a given design brief; find provocation; empathize with client/stakeholders to
gather evidence/knowledge and begin to prepare for technological practice in
Cycle two.
Extension students will also design and use their own planning tools and also review their progress at each stage.
YEAR 8
3. Students will describe how two
different technological outcomes with similar functional attributes can have
different physical attributes and vice versa.
Extension students will also describe the "proper and other" functions of various technological outcomes.
YEAR 7
3. Students will identify and describe
the links between the physical and functional attributes of given technological
outcome.
