Planning part one
The aim of this term's work was to give the Year 10 students the opportunity to experience technological practice to gain insight and learning ready to decide on their option choice for Year 11 either unit standards in Food and Nutrition or Achievement Standards in Technology (Food). To do this work as a unit with the whole class rather than individual projects was intentional not only for management of resources and time, but also to ensure learning was for all students so that each felt involved in the process as stakeholder representatives (focus group) of the school. As a group they made key decisions together, developing and evaluating the final solution as a class. The practical tasks were carried out in groups of 3-4 and/or in pairs.
