[Design and Technology] EXAM REVISION

Mon Oct 13 21:14:00 EST 2014

HI Jo,

You will probably get a number of people responding to help you out but …I am the first (ha ha)

Annotated Design Option – textiles.  To get the full marks for clarity and detail the students must draw the front and back of the garment.  In wood or metal it is a 3D drawing for the product.  

The 3 complex processes (one from the degree of difficulty list) It has to be well drawn and easy to understand eg gathering would show the stitching and the fabric gathered up by it.  The machines do not need to be drawn and that is the same for wood or metal, the router isn’t needed nor the welder. The complex process does need to be labelled eg gathering.  Colouring is also not necessary. 

For more assistance you might be able to come along to the 3 hour exam revision workshop I am running at Assumption College Kilmore on Wednesday 22nd.  It is an hour up the road but could be really helpful. You can book on Trybooking or ring me at Assumption. 

Hope that helps.

Hi All

I have a couple of questions re exam revision for 12's - 

When drawing a garment design option for Section B - do students have to draw the back as well as the front?

When drawing a 'degree of difficulty process' - one VCAA student sample shows the overlocker with a hand and material - does this show enough of the 'process' involved?

thanks to anyone who knows the answers

Hi guys

I don't like to be a bearer of more bad news about plastic or make you all depressed about the world but I found this movie to be incredibly informative. 

You can watch a trailor on youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UM73CEvwMY

I paid to watch it on Vimeo and found it really worthwhile, I think it goes for an hour and a half.

I can't give you the URL for purchasing the DVD as Netspace keeps blocking it today.

Also - its not directly related to a specific outcome for PD&T but is a general interest type of thing .... plus it has the bonus of the beautiful voice of Jeremy Irons. 

enjoy - Jacinta O'Leary

Hey Guys,
 What about Australian farmers who pile up and burn their plastic silage wrappers and plastic hay bands on the sides of country roads. We aren't a 3rd world country, so why haven't we invented a material that is biodegradable?

Re: everything is rubbish

Hi Robin.

Good point. I'm also aware that in many "3rd world countries" most plastics are burnt. In India for example every morning early, the "street sweepers" sweep up litter and set fire to it. Other cancer causing activities included the people who made the roads would use old tyers to create fire to burn the asphalt in 44 gallon drums. The country side is strewn with plastic caught up in the acacia scrub. The sooner the big chemical companies find its in their financial interest to develop totally biodegradable plastics or 100% reusable/non-degrading plastics the better eh? As a species we're so smart but so good at trashing the planet and poisoning our kids.

All the best.

Phil
