Explain this to your friend.

B Study Supertoy’s proposal (previous page) for the boat. Explain by means of a sketch the main steps you are going to follow to make the boat. Then you can start building the boat!

Assessment

Learning outcome 1: technological processes and skills

The learner will be able to apply technological processes and skills ethically and responsibly using appropriate information and communication technologies.

Assessment standard

We know this when the learner:

1.4 writes or communicates, with assistance, a short and clear statement (design brief) for the development of a product for a given purpose;

• briefly outlines a plan for making, listing the main steps;

1.9 works neatly and safely;

1.11 produces simple two-dimensional sketches, enhanced with colour where appropriate.
