Introduction
In the DT unit, 'Photograph frames', # learnt about stiffening materials and how ^ could make stable structures through the context of free-standing photograph frames. ^ had to design a product for ~ own use or as a gift for a particular user. The work could be adapted by # at home by adding a special picture of * or by making a frame to display a special piece of work that # is especially proud of.
"
Investigative
^ knows why it is necessary for structures to be stable.
^ knows how the examples of free-standing structures have been made to stand up by examining familiar or similar products.
^ can identify the component parts of a photograph frames and describe each part's function.
^ has understoods the principles of triangulation in simple structures.
^ could compare different photograph frames by talking about each one's features.
"
practical task

^ knows how to strengthen paper and card in different ways.
^ can select and use appropriate joining techniques.

^ was able to suggest how ^ can make ~ frame into a personalised gift.
^ showed evidence of ~ understanding learning ~ investigative and practical task stages by making a strong and stable photograph frame.

Comment 6
# should focus on improving ~ cutting and pasting skills.
# could make quicker progress if ^ could focus more on ~ own work and less on chatting to others.
A great target for # would be to focus more carefully in class.
For # to reach ~ full potential, I would suggest ^ takes the time to think about how different structures are built and look at what makes each stable.
I would suggest that for # to make solid progress, ~ should spend time reading books on structures or watching documentaries about super structures such as on the Discovery channel and discuss what has been shown on the show.
