Due Date: 10/1/2013

Dear all Y7P students,

Welcome to Year 7 Textile Technology this year. Starting from this year, you need to do all your Technology work in iBook and submit it in iBook via email or air-drop.

This year, you're required to do a Textile Technology project under a unit "Bag Production". In Textile Technology, you are required to design and make a small bag. For the details of the unit and task, please refer to the following file.



For the Schedule of Y7 Textile Technology, please refer to

Class work: Please form a group of 3 - 4 people, develop a __**mind map**__ with the unit title "Bag Production" and then do some __**research**__ to investigate more information on Bags. You need to present your research in PowerPoints, iBook, word doc., etc., on Dec 20, 2012 (next Wed).

In the research, you may find 1) The function of bags 2) The types of bags 3) The ways of making bags 4) The opening or the fastening that can be applied on bag production

Don't forget to include a list of bibliography to show the source of information. For the guideline of making a correct bibliography, please refer to. Here is the sample of the bibliography.
