A-level Economics Introduction Powerpoint Presentation

This is a 153-slide presentation covering a total of nine lessons of work, which is designed to be the perfect introduction into A-level Economics. It covers a range of micro and macro topics. It introduces several main topics to make the transition into studying the topics in more detail in normal lessons easier. The presentation uses animations to make the various economic diagrams and shifts simple to understand.

HOW TO USE:

The presentation uses clear and concise bullet points so requires an accompanying narration by a teacher to guide students through these new concepts. There are also several youtube videos which can be played within the presentation. These follow slides to give some context to the different economic theories discussed. This is vital to express the importance of what students are studying. There is also a discussion section at the end of each lesson. This aims to provoke debate in a class about the theory which has been discussed. This prepares students with the skills needed when they will eventually move onto essay writing and makes the transitition easier.
