Display: Famous People in Business

(4)
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.

Business Location - Choosing an appropriate location - Starter Task / Discussion

(7)
A nice little task when teaching Business Location. Print or display the drawn choices of possible locations. Students complete the handout by selecting an appropriate location (by letter) and giving their reasons for their choice. There's no answer sheet, but selections should be appropriate with sensible reasoning. This could then lead to a class discussion, a nice starter! Apologies for my drawings! I'm no artist... Enjoy
