Dear all Y7T students,

Welcome to Year 7 Textile Technology this year. Starting from this year, you need to do all your Technology work in a new iBook author and submit it in iBook via edmodo.

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.

Reminder for class and the assignment Group Presentation: Research on bag production. Date: 21/3/2013

You need to write a design brief, design specification and product test plan for the bag production.

For the details of the design brief, design specification and product test plan, please refer to. Please submit your whole investigation stage via edmodo on 11/4/2013. The group code is 9w7uar.

__ Design Stage __

For the design stage, you are required to

1. Design at least 2 designs of bags

2. Write a description of the 2 designs and compare them among each other against design specification in a table.

3. Choose 1 design as a final design or justify the design, color it and show it in full dimension.

4. Write a description titled “final design and justification” to tell me the reason why it can be your final choice and describe the final design.

In your design stage, you should include the following things

1) at least 2 pieces of design descriptions ( 1 piece for 1 design)

2) comparison of the 2 designs against design specifications

3) a colored final design in 3 dimensions, label all the size

4) final design and justification (describe the final design and explain the reason why you choose or modify it as your final design)

Deadline: 2 May, 2013

__ Create Stage __

In your plan, you are required to create a bag according to your plan stage and final design.

You need to use sewing machine to sew the bag and attach fastenings (eg. zipper, buttons, hook and loop) on your bag.

You can hand-stitch any decorations and repair some broken parts in your bag.

Lastly, you can also use heat-transfer machine and heat transfer paper to print some pattern on the bag.


 * You can not use any normal A4 paper for the heat transfer skill.

For the process journal, you must record the date, place, and the steps you made during the production with visual evidence. Besides, you have to mention and explain those changes made to final design and plan under the tilte "MODIFICATION TO FINAL DESIGN AND PLAN"



Deadline of the bag produced and process journal: 23/5/2013

Submit the process journal via edmodo on/ before: 23/5/2013\

Evaluation Stage

In the evaluate stage, you need to do 4 things (product test, product evaluation, reflection of my performance in the project and the impact of product).

1)Product test: Please do the product test according to the product test plan you developed in investigation stage.  2)Product evaluation : Produce a product evaluation and suggest some ways for improvement of the product making. 3)Reflection of my performance Produce a reflection on your performance on every stage (Investigation, design, plan, create and evaluate stages), suggest some ways for improvement.  4)The impact of product write the impact that the product may bring to society, environment and self.

For the good sample of Evaluation, please refer to.

Deadline of evaluation and the whole project : 30/5/2013 Submit your evaluation work and the whole Textile Technology project in ibook author via [|edmodo].
