| Weekly Learning Plan | |||
| Subject | Clothing and Textiles | Week | 9 |
| Duration | 60 minutes | Form | SHS 3 |
| Strand | Textiles in Clothing | Sub-Strand | Characteristics of Fibres and Fabrics Functionality |
| Learning Outcome(s) | 3.2.1.LO.1 - Demonstrate understanding and practical application of Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability within the curriculum sub-strand Characteristics of Fibres and Fabrics Functionality. | ||
| Learning Indicator(s) | 3.2.1.LI.1 - Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability | ||
| Lesson Focus | Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability | ||
| Previous Knowledge | Learners recall the immediately preceding knowledge/skill needed to engage with Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability; the starter diagnoses this rather than assuming mastery. | ||
| Lesson Objective(s) | Identify or explain the key subject idea/procedure in Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability. Complete the concrete guided/practical task for Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability accurately. Apply Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability independently to a new case, data set, text, material or performance situation. | ||
| Essential Question(s) | What evidence or procedure is needed to work accurately with Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability? What would a strong practical/application response to Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability look like? How would changing the context, data or constraints affect a decision about Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability? | ||
| Pedagogical Strategies | Diagnostic questioning Experiential/problem-based learning Collaborative analysis Guided modelling Independent application Peer/self assessment | ||
| Teaching & Learning Resources | Fabric/fibre swatches Hand lens if available Water dropper/absorbency materials Fabric-test recording sheet | ||
| Key Notes on Differentiation | |||
| Content | Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability. | ||
| Process | Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria. | ||
| Product | Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria. | ||
| Success Criteria | The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer. | ||
| Homework | Create a labelled sketch/photo record or small sample showing Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability; add a short evaluation against three quality criteria. | ||
| Lesson Activities | |||
| Stage | Teacher Activity | Learner Activity | Assessment / DoK |
| Starter10 minutes | Show two contrasting garments, fabric swatches or construction samples related to Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability; ask learners which is more suitable/accurate and require evidence. | Inspect the prompt/materials, record an initial response about Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability, and justify it briefly. | Not provided. |
| Activity 115 minutes | Demonstrate the specific textile test, measurement, pattern, construction or design decision required for Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability using real materials. | Handle/observe labelled and unlabelled fabric swatches; record lustre, handle, crease recovery, absorbency/stretch and likely fibre/structure clues. | Check observations/measurements against the actual textile or garment evidence. |
| Activity 220 minutes | Learners carry out the concrete clothing/textile task for Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability, documenting measurements, process steps and observations. | Run safe comparison tests (visual/magnification, absorbency, crease, stretch or fray) and tabulate evidence before identifying likely fabric suitability. | Use a practical rubric for accuracy, technique, safety, finish and reasoning. |
| Activity 310 minutes | Give an individual garment/fabric/design problem on Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability and require a corrected drawing, choice, calculation or construction decision. | Match each fabric to a garment/end use and justify the decision using at least three performance properties. | Check whether the individual correction addresses the stated garment/textile problem. |
| Lesson Closure | Ask learners to point to one physical feature in the fabric/garment/sample that proves their conclusion about Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability. Complete a one-minute exit response using a concrete example from the lesson on Selecting textiles for performance, comfort and sustainability. | ||
