Design a bookend
In this classroom activity pupils will design, test and make a bookend to assist in the storage of books. The bookend can be decorated to inspire and encourage reading of the books being stored.
Pupils will first make a card model of their bookend design and then produce a finished bookend from wood and card. After making their model they will mark out and cut their wood pieces to size. They will then join them together to form their bookend. Finally, they will decorate their bookend with a book theme and test their design.
This teaching resource activity could be used as a main lesson activity to support learners’ engagement in literacy. It could also be used as part of a wider scheme of learning focussing on designing and making skills within design and technology.
