This year, to get students used to building a chain of analysis, I have been doing this as a washing line structure with pipe cleaners and washing up pegs. It has been working really well, so I have created a worksheet version of this for students to get used to and picture how to build a chain of analysis in a memorable way. Each part of the washing line has a component of BLT: Because, Leading to and Therefore, with a impact section to get the students to understand to include the impact on the business. Great for printing out and revision!

This is an advent calendar that can be embedded into powerpoints that can have starter activities. The dates have been left blank in order for you to input your own dates so this can be used year upon year. However, there is an activity in each box for you, which follow a generic pattern which can be used in any level of Business Studies subject. My class loved this last year and were always excited to see what the next days activity was.

A quiz that can be used as a starter activity for form time or Business Studies showcasing women in business. The slide has statements describing a business woman without the title of the company (to not give it away!) with factual statements about their business accomplishments. The second slide has the answers on. This is a fun activity that my class really enjoyed. The girls were very motivated, while the boys saw business from a different perspective.

This is a template for students to revise with that highlights: The definitions of the keywords in a topic. The benefits and drawbacks of the topic for analysis purposes. The other topics that this can link to in the spec for building synoptic links. This is a revision technique that my students have been loving and has really helped improve their analysis!

Resources for a display board showcasing media resources (Shows, Podcasts and Books) that are recommended for Business Students. The title of the display board is ‘Busflix’ as a play on words for ‘Netflix’. These have all been read, listened to and watched by my students and recommended by students and teachers across the department. Many cover topics on all specifications- while engaging students into the subject through their interests such as fashion, gaming and football.

This powerpoint has templates for keychain flashcards that can be given to students to help them remember the exam structure for the GCE Edexcel Business exam. There is additional tips for coping with exam pressure within the flashcards and detailed information about the exam: length, number of exams. My students have really benefited from this and have started to use the top tips- especially when it comes to the managing stress in exams tips.

This powerpoint provides training and information for teachers in secondary and Further Education on how to support Muslim students during Ramadan. The dates relate to 2021, however the information in this will relate to students no matter what year. This is suitable for trainee teachers, qualified teachers and all school staff. The training is provided with in-slide content warnings as well as a breakdown on what Ramadan is and how it impacts on Muslim students.
