:
For higher levels•
Record your research.
•
Produce detailed design
ideas and plans.
•
Produce a more
challenging to make
product and ensure it is
of a high quality.
•
Evaluate in lots of detail
and use paragraphs.
•
Work independently.
Finally:
Make it!:
Evaluate your work. As a
minimum you should
aim to answer the
following questions:
What looks good? Why?
What didn’t work out so
well? Why?
What could you do
better? How?
Using
your
chosen
materials
create
your new
product.
Level
Criteria to meet in order to achieve this:
There is evidence of research and/or ideas
4
Upcycled product attempted with some thought behind it
A basic evaluation has been produced
Evidence of research and it is clear to see how it has inspired the product and/or a
range of design ideas presented
Your work will be marked to
the criteria in the table
opposite.
The mark you will achieve will
be seen as the starting level
for you in Key Stage 3.
5
Creative thought given to upcycle materials into a finished product
Main features of product have been evaluated with own opinions on it presented. Full
sentences have been used.
Evidence of both research and design ideas that clearly show the impact of this
research. Ideas are rendered and annotated in detail.
6
The average expected level at
the beginning of year 7 for
Design and Technology is a
level 5.
Product has been creatively upcycled with skill using appropriate materials . Product
has a degree of complexity to it.
Full sentences and paragraphs have been used to evaluate the product in detail.
Positive and negative opinions have been presented along with at least one suggestion
for improvement.
Detailed research presented from at least two different sources. Design ideas show
progress of thought and development from initial idea through to final idea presented.
Ideas have been rendered with skill or CAD has been used. All research and ideas have
been annotated in detail to explain and justify them.
7
Product has been creatively and skilfully transformed through upcycling and it is a very
effective, complete and complex product.
Evaluation is detailed, thorough, opinions are justified, improvements are identified. It
has been written into a number of full paragraphs and technical language has been
appropriately used. Evidence of product testing and/or the opinions of others.
8
+
Work exceeds level 7 criteria and it goes above and beyond all aspects of the brief.
Work has been completed to an exception level of detail and skill. There will be
evidence of additional but appropriate work such as modelling to test ideas, technique
sampling, planning, a making log, consideration of health & safety and quality control
checks etc. For the exceptional level to be given this all needs to be done to a standard
that would compare to the work of a high grade GCSE student.
