Suitable for any Business Specification where students need to know what Fixed and Variable Costs are. Also discussed (and has an activity) for working out total costs and profit etc. DO NOT BUY if you already have my TASK 5 for Cambridge Nationals. This resource includes ALL theory notes, loads of activities. All top quality. Enjoy.

This is another in my 'Let's Learn' series. The lesson gets students to think about their initial ideas before introducing start-up and running costs so progress can easily be judged. The lesson PowerPoint is equally good for revision if printed or made available electronically so it's even more of a bargain! There are two main activities (one is an exam style question assessment that can be peer marked with teacher guidance. The lesson plan is included to guide teachers through every step of the lesson. Enjoy!

This lesson includes an editable lesson plan, PowerPoint for display, group work task, extension tasks, G&T task AND lower ability task. The lesson starts by recapping or introducing stakeholder groups. Students have a challenge to name or identify as many groups as possible. Students are then introduced to conflict with a scenario of a new supermarket opening locally. They must work in groups to focus on one stakeholder group each. This is discussed as a class. Conflict is discussed then an activity concludes the lesson on resolving the potential conflicts identified. Enjoy.

Print this sheet on A3. This is a quite engaging and relatively accessible start to Business Studies, particularly for Year 9 or low ability groups OR useful for PSHE or Enterprise lessons. They DRAW their idea for a business (there’s a shop front, so most will come up with businesses in retail, though could equally be a service based business like Estate Agents etc.). They then design a logo, flyer and come up with a business name. After this (which is a good introduction), I teach GOODS and SERVICES and SECTORS then get them to complete their sheet fully. I also get them to colour and make it look good for display. I’ve also included a version I made for new students who had just arrived from Poland. Enjoy.

Everything is included! There’s a PowerPoint which guides teachers through the lesson, including speaker notes with additional commentary. Activities: Discuss differentiated outcomes / objectives Mind map ways a business can be ethical Discussion on ways a business can be ethical Cut and paste group sort activity ethical or unethical? (hand out/worksheet included) Discussion on ethical or unethical practice (answers included on PowerPoint) Design/display work (A3 handout) - students design a new ethical milkshake brand Differentiation: higher abilities also add how much their brand will do ethically compared to competitors. Should be quite a fun lesson for what is often a tedious topic. Some good display work can be produced too if students are allowed time to colour/design their brand ideas. Would also suit PHSE topics on ethical trading/fair trade etc.

**SAMPLE AVAILABLE** If you want to see the quality of this resource, the lesson plan is available within my free resources. Perhaps download/view this before making your purchase. This resource includes a FULL lesson - would fill a 'double' session, or more, if needed. The slides are also GREAT for revision if printed or made available electronically to your learners. TWO student handouts are included as well as a full lesson plan. The slides introduce company ownership (both types of limited company) and include a paired task, independent task, case study questions, differentiated glossary (focus on literacy) and plenary. Plenty to keep learners focused and a really good resource for teaching GCSE Business Studies Company ownership. Lessons on sole traders and partnerships are also available in the same theme and to the same quality standard. A bundle for all three is also available, if you like the look of this lesson! Enjoy!

Suitable for any Business Studies course, though idea for the Cambridge National in Enterprise and Marketing course (units R067 TA3 and R068), this eight page booklet includes 6 challenges based on different scenarios asking learners to calculate costs, total costs and profit.
