Morning.
Welcome to our first lesson of 2011!! Really looking forward to helping you all with your projects this year and can't wait to get going today.
Today is all about DRAWING. We are going to start our initial ideas and that is what I want you spend all of today on. Your deadline for the specification and the initial ideas is the 27th January (the end of Mrs Knights lesson next week)!!!
So, the PLTS involved in today's lesson are:
Self Manager: How are you going to spend today's lesson? Is 100% of your time going to be spent on initial ideas or are you going to balance them with completing your specification?
Creative Thinker: The initial ideas part of your project is your chance to show the examiner your 'creative' side. Have fun with you ideas and remember that it does not matter whether your idea is achievable.
Enjoy, this is one of the best parts of the project (in my opinion).

Hey.
Really sorry I’m not in today.
Your tasks are nice and easy today. First of all you need to complete your specification page for your portfolio. Mrs Knight sent you all an information page about what to put into your specification last lesson, so use that as your template. Your specification needs to be complete by Thursday’s lesson so that you can mark it with Mrs Knight.
If this is complete then I’d use your time wisely to complete any unfinished work in your parts your research section.

Hey guys.
Majority of the class are in London with me this week. Please make sure that you register with Mr Simmons.
You have two major tasks for my lesson this week. The first is to complete your 'Metal Processes' sheets that I gave you last week (if you need a new one they are over by the scanner in the Design Centre). Please practice sketching and make notes on the processes. Use your theory books and the 'Manufacturing Processes for the Design Professional' books on the book shelves in the Design Centre to aid your learning.
The second task is to continue with your major project. Use the exemplar projects in my Teacher Resources to complete the first couple of pages in your portfolio. The exemplar projects can be found in the 'A Level' folder and you should be looking to complete the Research Plan, Mind Map, Brief and you can even start looking at some existing products.
Enjoy the lesson and think of us freezing on HMS Belfast.
