Earlier on today while gathering things for our latest editions fashion page we interviewed Miss Ford on her new subject GCSE Textiles and also any new things in the technology department.
These questions and the answers given by Miss Ford:What Is Your Favourite Part Of teaching textiles-
Textiles is my specialist subject so it's really good teaching pupils that are enthusiastic about the subject. The pupils are fun and there is never a dull moment in the lesson.
Is it a hard course to teach-
The coursework can be difficult and hard to explain at times but most pupils grasp it well.
Is GCSE textiles the only new thing in technology-
We now have a new laser cutter in resistant materials which we will be showing in the a later issue.
If you could make up a textiles sylubus/choice of make what would the design brief be-
In my last school we designed and made outfits /dresses for prob. This was realy goodand the clothing that we made we included into a school fashion show. I'm hoping to do a fashion show next year with this years and next years products.
Is this your favourite technology subject to teach-
Yes this is my favourite subject to teach but I do enjoy teaching graphics too.
On behalf of the paper we would like to thank Miss Ford for doing an interview and it will be featured in the next fashion page which will be coming out soon. We also will be doing another interview including some pictures of the laser cutter in a future edition.
