AQA GCSE Design and Technology: Textiles Technology

Summary:
Motivate your students to achieve their best with this textbook, which has been created after listening to the needs of students and teachers. We understand that a real understanding of Textiles Technology requires more than simply ticking off theory listed in the specification. Students need to know how and where to apply it, and understand why.

Student projects are chosen to illustrate the creativity at the heart of the subject and to inspire your students. The good practice they demonstrate, and the constant links between the projects and theory, will mean more motivated students with a far better understanding of the subject.

• Direct links between theory and its application, helping students to truly grasp underpinning knowledge and improve their written paper grades

• Written specifically for Textiles Technology, rather than adapted from a generic Design and Technology template

• Genuinely exciting exemplars of innovative and interesting design solutions, which are analysed and linked to the AQA specification
