| This application consists of photographic annotation tools together with prompt questions to use when interrogating photos as part of D&T work on dissembling shelters (Unit 6A). This gives the opportunity for whole class, as well as, independent work. Prompt questions are given to encourage pupils to look carefully at the photographs and to relate aspects of design to their function. A small notepad space for written responses is provided. |

CHILDREN SHOULD LEARN
• to relate the way things work to their intended purpose
• how to seek information from a wide range of sources on different structures and how they support things
• how materials and components have been used

Assessment Strategy:
Mainly through observation and questioning – Printouts may provide useful information for assessment. |

It is helpful if the children have:
• learnt how to mark out, cut and join materials to make frameworks
• practised ways of showing their design ideas on paper
