Topic
Production working towards group timelines
Understanding all the terms, markings and instructions
on a commercial pattern.

Learning Intention:
To investigate commercial patterns and transfer their
meaning and instruction to students own production plans.
To be self-disciplined and work towards team goals and
timelines.
Success Criteria:
Up to date on team timeline
Students re-word pattern instructions to prove their
understanding of cutting and construction procedures.
VELS: Strands, Domain, Foci and Standards
Key knowledge: methods used to determine appropriate,
efficient and effective production processes to make a
product, including marking out, cutting, shaping, joining and
finishing procedures
Key skills: -work individually and as a team member to
safely make the product or product components
-individually record progress, decisions made and
modifications to the preferred design option and production
plan
Location / Setting
Textiles room double period after lunch
1 hour and 40mins




Organisation / Student Groups
As students come in they get their folios out and work
individually on folios with some collaboration with their
small groups. Attention is to the front for brief periods of
instructions when all students have arrived and again when
it is time to pack up.
Classroom management strategy
Have tasks on the board for students to refer to if they
are not sure what to move on with. Walk around and
check in with students encourage them individually
and quietly to stay on task if they are wasting time.
Key Vocabulary
Pattern markings
Instructions
Commercial pattern

Materials, Resources and Equipment
Students materials and equipment will vary depending on
the stage of pre-production/production they are up to.
All resources will be available in the room or brought in by
students.

INTRODUCTION
Connecting, Engaging and Modelling Inquiry
MAIN BODY
Guiding Inquiry and Practise
CONCLUSION
Sharing, Explaining and Reviewing Inquiry

Students can get out their folios as they come in and
begin working.

Call for attention when they have all arrived to mark
roll and do a short activity.

Activity: students take out any commercial patterns
they have bought (if they havent bought one yet they
can share within their groups or use at pattern from
the cupboard)

-open pattern and locate the instruction section
-read over quickly and identify any
words/terms/procedures that they are un-sure of.
We write these on the board and as a class go over
the possible meanings putting them in our own
words.
Students need to put the production steps in their
production plans, but they should be in their own
words; only quoting the commercial pattern
instruction if they understand it, and would say it like
that themselves.

Go over pattern markings
-grain-line
-notches
-fold line
-cutting quantity
-seam allowance
-pattern piece name (ie. centre front, side front, yoke,
gusset, side back, centre back, sleeve etc)






Students continue working towards the
achievement of their group timeline;
They should have their production plans for each
garment written out in instructions they
understand.

Students should be preparing to begin
construction if they havent already

Speak with each group go over their timelines
with them and check that they are on schedule,
or what they need to do to get on schedule.

Some students may be altering patterns, or even
cutting.

Remind students of the time they have left to
complete their garment and have folios
completed

As students start production from pattern
altering they need to be keeping a production
journal. Draw up template for this on the board if
needed.


Pack up at 2.55
- All folios to be lined up NEATELY on the
shelves in the cupboard
- Tables cleaned and all equipment put
away

Reflection:
Students to share with their partner about the key
skills they used today and what they need to do in
the next lesson in order to begin construction of
their garment on time.

- Students who have worked on their
garment today need to write in their
Production Journals
