Drafting a 'Design & Make' Lesson for Lower Secondary D&T



A glimps of my work-in-progress and the way I think and plan my work.

(Draft) and designing a 10 week Design & Technology lesson for a brand new class for a brand new semester. 


Tasked to teach a class of Secondary Two Normal (Academic) - 14 year old kids for the coming semester. 


Students will be attempting to design and make a Smart Phone Holder in the context of a suitable souvenir for the Singapore Zoological Gardens. 


The basic structure for the holder will be similar for all students but one can expect lots of animal shaped inspired designs. It will be a very tight 10 session or less.  Hope it will turn out ok. 


Since this is posted, feel free to try it out or use it for yourself if you wish but don't forget to drop me a courtesy note if you do.
