Update: The files marked NEW! include a template for this resource which already has the hyperlinks included in PowerPoint; so if you’re tight on time, students can still make use of this resource without having to learn how to make links. Along with this are 6 challenges (differentiated) and a log for students to complete and take with them - PERFECT for Year 6 Induction in a computer room/IT/Computing lesson. As it’s the end of term, this fun activity still gets students learning about how to add hyperlinks into PowerPoint presentations. The scary maze can be changed for Santa’s maze, if you’re aiming to do something ‘Christmassy’! The activity gets students to create a version of the ‘scary maze game’ (Google it!). They find a scary image that, if their users hit the wall of their maze, will flash on the screen (after slides are linked). I don’t want students having nightmares though, so I have provided an alternative ‘nicer maze game’ too! Included is a student handout, PowerPoint to act as a short lesson guide (two versions - scary and nicer) as well as a scream sound for students to use if placed on a shared area. As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy! *Copyright - I either own everything or it comes from an acknowledged, royalty free source!

This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital. Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current. On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are. On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question. Enjoy!

Saves making your own! 7 basic rules for students to follow when in the ICT suite/computer room. Enjoy!

Easy to fill in coupons to reward positive behaviour or good work. 8 per page, so they're small enough to print a shed load and have them at hand when marking or teaching. Teachers just need to fill in the 'IOU' circle with the reward being given (we use VIVOs and just fill in IOU 10 Vivos, but this could easily be house points, commendations etc.) A tangible method of rewarding your students - they do something good, they something immediately. I get students to fill their name in on the coupon and 'post' them to me so I can reward later in the day when it's more convenient! Enjoy, for free!

These instructions show you step by step how to LINK to a YouTube clip from your lesson PowerPoints. There are more complicated instructions to actually EMBED clips into your presentations within my resources (free). Once set up, you click the link within your presentation and then you'll be taken directly to your chosen clip. This saves having the link, copying and pasting it in, and then loading up YouTube and makes for a more professional approach to presenting your lesson. These instructions are correct at the time of writing and work for most versions of PowerPoint. There's no need to feedback if they don't work for you, it might be your computer/version. Enjoy!

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.

This starter task introduces whether businesses OWN or OWE something. Essential when calculating working capital. There's a PowerPoint with answers. I've also uploaded a Working Capital booklet in my free resources which would follow this starter nicely and be an almost entire lesson! Enjoy.

Obviously I don't own the music, but it's a free resource! A simple PowerPoint which gives your learners one minute to complete a task/discussion/thinking time. Enjoy, for free!

I've been doing some work on planning for questioning and come up with this presentation as a tool to improve my questioning technique. I plan the questions I am going to ask and use Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce (NOT MY IDEA!) - I think this is a concept from Teacher Toolkit, though I could be wrong. My idea is the planning tool and the wait time. Teachers should write their planned questions on separate slides using the template, perhaps moving the circle in the top right hand corner to identify whether the question is open or closed (this helps me to ensure the majority of the questions I ask are open questions). Use the tool for a starter or plenary by showing the question (by clicking the yellow POSE button). Allow 15 seconds thinking time (by clicking the PAUSE button), the soothing Jeopardy music will play. Click POUNCE to ask for an answer from the student and then BOUNCE to ask the student to select someone who will answer the next question (or the teacher could do this). I hope this helps! 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!

NEW! See the video preview of the PowerPoint BEFORE choosing to buy. ALL resources are included and TOP quality. This is an investment and great for new teachers or those that want to increase student engagement. This is my first Plenary Wheel resource - 8 generic plenaries to end ANY lesson. If you like this, why not try the sequel with 8 additional plenary activities, so you’ll have 16 to get you through the academic year! Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped by clicking STOP to choose the plenary for the lesson. Includes a selection of eight plenary ideas (and supporting resources) with an engaging interface to grab students’ attention at the end of a lesson. Interactive, students LOVE shouting STOP to select the plenary activity! Suitable for all subject areas… you may never have to plan a plenary activity ever again, although don’t tell your senior leaders I said that!

This 8-page booklet is mapped against OCR GCSE Business Studies J204. This resource includes a printable PDF version AND a PowerPoint version that learners can complete and submit online, via Google Classroom etc.   Answers included in separate PDF document! Homework sheets on: The Finance Department/Function Sources of Finance Revenue and Costs Fixed and Variable Costs Break-even Point Break-even Chart Cash Flow Forecasts      If you set one page each week, that’s more than enough for a half term. The pages also act as a good discussion point for a starter in the following lesson too (win, win!).      To REDUCE MARKING - there’s the smallest space for teachers to put 4 ticks to assess each homework. Low stakes, low work-load marking!

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.

This is a fun activity idea taken from my Python series of lessons. IT IS NOT A FULL LESSON, it's just a sample of what my paid resources look like and helps me balance my premium and free resources. My premium resources are all FULL lessons with full differentiated outcomes, student handouts and stretch activities for higher abilities. This particular activity a fun task using Python version 3 which introduces ASCII code and gets your students to create their own ASCII Art from characters using Python Print commands. It's not available in my paid resources, so if you've bought the lessons you should also download this activity! Enjoy.

**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!

Here I've outlined one way to embed YouTube clips into your lesson PowerPoints. If this doesn't work, or is too complicated, search my resources for the other method! These instructions go through step-by-step how to embed YouTube clips into PowerPoint. This is a temperamental process, so if it doesn't work, try my other method (don't feedback to tell me it doesn't work, it works for most!). The videos are actually embedded into your presentation so there's no need to visit YouTube. You will need an internet connection when you play the presentation though. Good luck! Enjoy...

NEW! See a video of this resource in action below BEFORE choosing to buy. TOP quality, fully resourced purchase. Can I first apologise if anyone is actually French and using this! I think I have expertly translated as best I can. Excusez-moi! This version of my plenary selector gets students to look back at what they have learnt in a French lesson. Slide 1 includes a spinning wheel that can be stopped to choose the plenary for the lesson. There are seven different outcomes so it could be used regularly and routinely in lessons to get students to reflect on their learning, all fully resourced where required. The PowerPoint took ages to make and code, so please don’t share too readily! You must enable macros on your computer to allow it to work, or get in touch with your IT technician! Enjoy. I own all text, even the French stuff. Images are public domain and copyright free.

An eight page student booklet and accompanying outline of six lessons of work that gets students to create a PowerPoint presentation about either the Loch Ness Monster or Big Foot to include text, links, images and sounds. This is a fun, short unit of work suitable for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing lessons. I must stress that, unlike some of my other resources, this is not a pick up and go, fully planned unit of work. It is an engaging student booklet that is GREAT for collating evidence of student work and it is a collection of six lesson OUTLINES. Teachers will need to add to this in order to fully teach reliability and skills in producing a multimedia presentation. I'd see this as a perfect first unit for either year 7 or 8 to get them started for a year of engaging ICT or Computing lessons. Enjoy! Any feedback is, as always, greatly received.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; view the video to see the quality of this resource below! This PowerPoint contains eight generic starter activities suitable for upper KS2 to Post-16 teaching in ANY subject. I’ve also provided a set of teacher notes to accompany the resource which opens up the activities to a variety of adaptations which does mean the eight activities can be used over-and-over again, even with the same class! I’ve tried really hard to make sure the PowerPoint is well designed and engaging. The main aim was MINIMUM effort from the teacher, MAXIMUM gain - incorporating elements of literacy into ANY subject area. I’d love your feedback. Enjoy!
