A quick ‘do now activity’ / starter for use when teaching Small Business Ownership.

Teacher slides and student booklet getting learners to develop a new ice cream product for ‘Jen and Berry’s’! Covers: Market research Primary & secondary research Creating a questionnaire Carrying out an interview Carrying out a focus group Target market Customer profiling Design ideas Feedback (self and peer) Final design choices Pricing strategies Calculating revenue and profit/loss Slides are editable if required. Booklet is 12 pages and contains an easy space for final marking on the front cover (very short too!!). All you need to do is print the booklet, break the slides down into lessons/chunks, decide which parts are your starters etc. and go for it!

A differentiated sheet for use when teaching break-even calculations. Space at the top (cheat space) for some learners to write the break-even formula, if they’re going to struggle. Enjoy, for free!

Descriptions of 10 famous people in business. Great for a small display. I’ve cut the answers off mine - you could cut these out separately and dot around the display so learners just have to match them up - or perhaps cover the names up. PDF format as it’s unlikely you’ll have the font to match.

Please note: Fortnite is obviously not my product, this is for education purposes only, NOT for sale, and no copyright material is used within this resource AT ALL. This editable single slide starter has space for five differentiated questions and is based around a Fortnite™ theme. It’ll make the start of your lesson a little more engaging and should grab the attention of boys in particular, as well as making you look cooler! You MUST follow the question categories in order (below) otherwise they’ll catch you out and it’ll show you know nothing about Fortnite! Categories are based on the rarity of weapons within the game. Common - easiest question Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary - the most difficult question Alternative use: You could put more than one question in each box and direct different groups of students to complete each box. Fortnite itself is PEGI rated for players 12+ - so not a good idea to use this in a Primary setting.

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.

This resource REALLY cuts down on your marking workload and acts as an effective starter to a lesson once a piece of work/section of work has been marked/reviewed. Follow this process… Print this resource on A4 paper (or A3 if you’re going to write a lot). ‘Tick and Flick’ mark each piece of work/book for a whole class or particular group of students. As you’re going through, note your comments on the sheet within one of the sections below. Praise (What Went Well) Misconceptions/Common Errors Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Even Better If Presentation DIRT Activity/Activities Once complete, photocopy a sheet for all students to glue into their books or attach to their work. In the following lesson, students should action the DIRT activity. You should also display this sheet (if scanned in) as a discussion point/starter. Your marking has been reduced… very effectively too! TIPS: Students LOVE to be named on this sheet, as everyone in the class gets a copy! Name particular students within the relevant sections of the marking tool sheet. Don’t use this for EVERY piece of marking you do! This is designed to reduce the marking you do, not obliterate it! Choose when this tool will work well for you and your class. Print a bank of these off so they’re easily at hand.

DO NOT buy if you already have my Cambridge National Resource or my OCR Homework Booklet! This is a generic introduction to Break-Even and would nicely follow my lesson on Fixed and Variable Costs (not introduced in this lesson). Two activities relating to Break-Even. Full lesson PowerPoint.

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.

A FULL lesson on Business Pricing Strategies. DO NOT buy if you've got my Cambridge Nationals resource. This resource is not tailored to any specification or age group, ideal for all! Includes Penetration Pricing, Cost Plus, Price Skimming, Psychological Pricing and Competitive Pricing Strategies. Includes introductions to each, a note taking activity and a review activity to apply knowledge. The notes pages can also be printed for accessible revision if needed for GCSE or 'A' Level exams. All top quality. Enjoy.

An editable template for a great starter activity (or plenary/review!). Simply change the questions on the wooden panels. Delete and resize if you need less panels. The 2nd slide is differentiated, so the more challenging questions are at the end. I don't own the format, obviously, so this resource is shared for free. I add the theme tune too, but for copyright reasons I can't share on TES! Enjoy!

Two activities to introduce five laws to students. I teach low ability GCSE Computer Science, and this is perfect for them. Specifically mapped to OCR Computer Science J276, though good for any lessons covering these five laws: - Data Protection Act 1998 - Computer Misuse Act 1990 - Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 - Creative Commons Licensing - Freedom of Information Act 2000 There are TWO activities here which make teaching this (slightly dull) topic easier. 1. Laws Jigsaw - Print on A3. Students cut out all pieces and connect to make 5 jigsaws, one about each law. There's an answer sheet which I stick at the front if students struggle they're allowed a peek! 2. Laws Summary - Students fill in the missing words. Answers are provided to discuss. There is also a help sheet with potential words to use; this is again stuck at the front and students are allowed one or two peeks whilst completing the task. There are TWO versions of the sheet, one with letter prompts to make it easier. The harder one is good because students often use different words, so good for discussion. Enjoy.

Simple starter or plenary suitable for any subject. Adaptable, so use over and over again - even with the same class. Ideal time for discussion of key terms as they are revealed. Enjoy.

A single, well designed help sheet that guides students through the process of creating a movie using images they have saved on their work areas using Serif Movie Plus. This is IDEAL if you've got Serif Movie Plus installed on your network, but don't know quite how to use it! Give students this sheet and get them to work it out independently. I've had some great results from this, students loved it too. Great end of term fun activity if students can choose their own topic of movie. Enoy.

FULL lesson on Business Communication Methods (no lesson plan, just worksheets in booklet). These are best used AFTER you’ve taught, or at least introduced, verbal/non-verbal communication and internal/external communication. I actually mark page 2 of the booklet as a test out of 20 to assess understanding of the topic. Space on the front for teacher assessment WWW and EBi. Starter - Identify the methods of communication from the images. Peer marked. Extension - think of more methods of communication Main - Questions (after teaching) on verbal/non-verbal and internal/external communication Main 2 - Give a suitable method of communication for Review (or second lesson) - rate methods of communication on speed, cost and whether receipt is confirmed. Enjoy.
