Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

It is so lovely to see you.

It makes me really, really happy that you have opened up your design and technology lesson for today.

My name is Miss Larham and I'm your design and technology teacher.

Can you tell me your name? Amazing, it's so lovely to meet you and welcome you to your lesson today.

Shall we get started? Let's get going.

We have made it all the way to lesson nine in our textiles unit where we've been learning all about templates and joining techniques and we are definitely pros at that now, we are definitely experts because we have managed to make our very own zoo animal puppet.

So hopefully you've got that zoo animal puppet with you today because what we're going to do is evaluate your puppet, making simple judgements.

Let's see what you'll need to complete today's lesson.

In this lesson, you will need an exercise book or paper, and you will need a pencil and don't forget to bring along your puppet too.

If you need to pause the video and go and collect everything you need for today's lesson, now's the time to do it and press play when you're ready.

Off you go.

Super, well done for collecting everything we need.

Let's get started.

Let's take a little look at what our lesson is going to look like today.

So first, all together, we're going to do our intro quiz.

Then we will do our star words.

Then we're going to evaluate your puppet.

And finishing all together with an exit quiz.

That sounds great, doesn't it? Our intro quiz today is going to be one tricky question.

So are you ready? Fantastic.

Now, I want you to have a think about what's Miss Larham's been telling you all this time about the puppet and your hand? What did that puppet need to be able to do, thinking about our hand? Do you remember? I'll give you a few seconds to think.

Puppet, hand, what did it have to be able to do? Do you think you're ready to tell me? Fantastic, tell me now.

If you said that the puppet needed to be able to fit on the user's hand, you're amazing.

Well done, you're absolutely right.

One of the things our puppet had to do was be able to fit on the user's hand.

Well done.

So we had a really busy previous lesson, didn't we? Last lesson, we made our puppet.

Can you put your puppet on your hand? Amazing, well done.

So last week, we worked really hard to make our puppet.

Can you give your puppet a wave? Can you say hello to my parrot.

Amazing, well done.

So we made our puppets.

We were super good at it, weren't we? It is star words time, everybody.

Let's check our voices are ready.

I'm going to say star words and when I put my hands forward like this, it's going to be your turn to say star words.

Okay, you ready to join in? Excellent, my turn.

Star words.

Your turn.

Fantastic for joining in, well done.

Let's see what our first star word is.

My turn, criteria.

Criteria.

Well done, and criteria is the list of things that our product needed to be able to include and needed to be able to do.

So it's our list of things that it had to be able to do and had to include.

Next one, judgments.

Judgments.

Well done for joining in.

Judgments means we're going to make a decision.

Don't we like it? Don't we like it? What did we do well? What didn't we do so well? We're going to give our opinion on it.

Last star word, evaluate.

Well done, evaluate.

Well done.

And that means we're going to judge whether our puppet meets our chosen criteria.

So we've going to see if it does all the things we wanted it to do.

So let's begin with evaluating our puppets.

So make sure you've got your puppet close by so you can have a really good look at it.

Right, I'm going to set you a challenge, a challenge all about our puppet design criteria and the criteria means that list of things that our puppet needs to have and needed to be able to do.

So you're going to fill in the gaps for me.

It should mhm on the mhm hand.

It should have the appearance of a mhm mhm.

And finally, it should be mhm and mhm.

So I would like you to pause the video and see if you can fill in all of those gaps for me, thinking about our design criteria.

Then when you think you have filled in all the gaps, can you press play to see if you're right? Off you go.

Well done for filling in those gaps.

Shall we check to see if you're right? Let's see.

It should fit on the user's hand.

We know that, don't we? Well done if you knew.

Fit on the user's hand.

Next one.

It should have the appearance of a zoo animal.

Well done if you remembered that our puppet had to be an animal that you would find at the zoo.

And finally, it should be moveable and flexible.

Do you remember that? Our puppet, we needed to be able to move the arms and move the head and body.

Well done if you knew moveable and flexible.

They're very grownup words, aren't they? Well done if you knew any of those gaps to fill in today.

Now what we're going to do is see if we can think of what evaluation questions we could ask.

So we're going to look at our design criteria and see if we can come up with some questions that help us to see if our puppet is successful to that part of the design criteria.

So our first design criteria is it should fit on the user's hand.

I wonder what questions we could come up with to make sure that it fits on the user's hand.

Pause the video, have a little think about some questions and press play when you're ready.

Off you go.

Brilliant, well done for having a think.

I wonder what did you come up with? What questions did you think of? I thought of a few.

My first question said can you fit your hand inside? That will tell us the answer, won't it? So can you fit your hand inside? Yes or no? If it's a yes, it's been successful.

If it's a no, maybe not, maybe try again another time.

Is there room for your little finger and your thumb and for your fingers? Yes, there is.

Again, it's a really successful puppet, isn't it? And it's a way of checking that it fits on the user's hand.

And finally, you could ask how did you make sure that you could fit this on the user's hand? What were some of the things that we did, do you remember? Do you remember when we made our paper template and we had to make sure that it was nice and wide compared to our hand? We had to make sure it was wider than the widest part of our hand.

And do you remember, we had to leave a seam allowance because when we added our joining techniques, it would make this bit narrower, wouldn't it? So we needed to make sure we left a seam allowance.

Great thinking.

Let's check our next criteria.

Our next criteria is it should have the appearance of a zoo animal.

So what questions could we ask to make sure we have been successful in making sure our puppet looks like a zoo animal? Pause the video now, have a think about some of those questions and press play when you're ready.

Off you go.

Brilliant, well done, for having a think.

I wonder what questions you came up with.

I wonder if you could ask what animal did you choose? I chose a parrot, didn't I? I wonder if you could ask what features did you put onto your paper template to make it look like that zoo animal? So instead of doing nice rounded arms on my paper template, I used curbed arms to show wings, to show feathers.

And I wonder, what finishing techniques did you put onto you puppet to help to show that it's that animal? So I added feathers because I know a parrot is covered in feathers.

So I thought it was really important to add some feathers onto my puppet to help it to show what kind of zoo animal it was.

Great thinking.

One more criteria to look at.

And our last criteria said it should be moveable and flexible.

So we needed to be able to move our puppet, didn't me? I wonder what evaluative questions could you think of to help to make sure whether we have met this design criteria.

Pause the video now, have a think of some questions and press play when you're ready.

Off you go.

Fantastic, welcome back.

Well done for having a think.

Did you think of any questions you could ask to make sure that our puppet is moveable and flexible? I came up with a question.

I thought what material did you use? And I used fabric felt for mine because I know that I can move this fabric.

It's moveable and it's flexible.

I wonder, if I'd had made my puppet out of a wooden plank, would that have been movable and flexible? I don't think it would have, would it? So I've made sure that I've made a suitable material choice to make sure I can move the head and the arms. And one last thing we could ask, well, can you actually move the arms? I can.

Can you move the head? If we can, then we have been successful.

Well done for thinking, everybody.

Now it is time to record our answers to those evaluative questions.

I have created a couple of questions that we're going to look at together for you to answer.

Here are those questions I was telling you about.

What do you like about your puppet? So have a really good look at it and what do you really like about it? What have you done really, really well? So I like that I have sewn on this yellow applique at the front.

I think it looks really eye-catching and really neat.

Next question.

Does it fit on the user's hand? How did you make sure it fit? So, yes, it does fit on my hand and I made sure it fit because I made my template wide enough and I left a seam allowance.

Next question.

What did you do to make sure your puppet looked like a zoo animal.

So I added feathers, actual feathers, and I appliqued on some feathers, I added on a beak, I added on a feather tuft, so these are the things that I added to make sure it looked like a parrot.

Does your puppet move like a puppet should? So does it bend at the arms? Does it bend at the head? You could answer that, couldn't you by saying yes, it is moveable and flexible.

I can move my fingers inside the puppet.

And finally, if you were going to make this again, everybody what would you do better? What would you improve on? So have a really good look at your puppet and decide what would you improve about your puppet? I think if I was going to do mine again, I would change the shape of the beak a little bit.

I feel like the beak is a little bit too big and it hasn't quite got the perfect shape I was hoping for.

So what would you improve about yours? Let me show you how you're going to record your answers and then it'll be your turn.

So you can download this worksheet and fill in your answers in the boxes.

Now, not to worry if you can't print off this worksheet.

You could just record your answers on a piece of paper or in your exercise book.

Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to record some keywords that I want you to make sure that you have got in your answers in each box.

So this one says what do you like about your puppet? So you're going to start your sentence with a capital I like and then you're going to fill in your answer.

And then you're going to use the word because and you're going to tell me why you like it.

In this box here, it says does it fit on the user's hand? How did you make sure it fit? So some keywords I want you to make sure you write in your answer is the word template, and seam allowance.

So thinking what you know, what did we do with our paper template to make sure that it fit on the user's hand? Thinking about that word seam allowance.

In this box here, it says what did you do to make sure your puppet looked like a zoo animal? So in here, you're going to talk about your finishing techniques.

So what did you use to decorate your animal to make it look like that animal? You might also talk about your template shape as well.

So what did you add on to your paper template to help it make it look like that zoo animal? This box here, does your puppet move like a puppet should? So some keywords you need in here is material, flexible, and moveable 'cause it needs to be flexible and moveable and I'm sure you made a really good material choice to make sure it helped with that.

And finally, how could your product be improved? So you put I would improve.

Write your answer and then again, using the word because.

So tell me why you would improve that.

So some keywords, we've got template, seam allowance, finishing technique, template shape, material, flexible, moveable, improve, because, lots of keywords that I want you to do.

So off you're going to go now and you're going to fill out your evaluation and then press play when you've done it.

Good luck, off you go.

Welcome back, everybody and well done for finishing off your evaluation.

I managed to get mine finished too.

And you can see that I have underlined those keywords that I showed you before you got started.

Maybe you might like to do that too.

It's a really good way of checking you have the keywords that you need in your evaluation.

So well done for getting it done.

That's a really great lesson, everybody.

Now, before you leave, it is time to do our exit quiz all together.

And we're going to make sure our exit quiz today that we have locked in all of that knowledge we have about our design criteria.

Are you ready? So it should fit on the user's what? It should fit on the user's? Tell me now.

Hand.

Well done.

It should have the appearance of what kind of animal? What kind of animal should it be? Tell me now.

Zoo animal.

Well done.

And finally, it should be and? There's two words, do you remember what they are? It should be? I'll help you out.

Ready to tell me? It should be moveable and flexible.

Well done.

Amazing exit quiz.

We have one more lesson in our textiles unit, lesson 10.

I really hope you can join me for our last lesson in our unit.

Don't forget to bring along your puppet to that lesson too.

See you then, everybody.

Bye.
