Mock Exam Textiles

Hi GCSE Textiles students

 

 

The theme for the mock exam in November is the fairground and you need to design a product for the teenage market.

Write a design specification and draw an idea in colour, label with fabrics, decorative techniques and components. Use an LED in your idea!

Use the AQA site to look at past papers and use BBC Bitesize to revise the topics carefully.

Bring your idea to me on Wednesday 22nd October. Good luck. Mrs T
