An introduction to organisation/organization charts. This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note). Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions. Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates. All companies are fictional, logos designed by me, Enjoy.

THIS RESOURCE USES PYTHON VERSION 3. There are subtle differences between version 2 and 3, I believe. It's free to download though, so maybe update your systems. This is the third lesson in a series of my new resources on Python Programming. I'm teaching this to low ability year 9, though I know my higher ability year 7 would love it and I've also seen Python used within some primaries. It's suitable for any novice programming teacher (like me!). This lesson introduces data types within Python and sees students introduced to the terms String and Integer. The lesson is fully resourced and will last at least a full hour, if not longer. If you're an absolute beginner, this is ideal. Just read it through and print before teaching - that's it! Look out for my other Python programming resources as part of this series. Enjoy.

---This resource is similar to the match up resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Ideally suited to KS2 or KS3 French lessons, though would be equally good for KS4 lower abilities. This resource introduces French names of nine common places in town (shops) in a PowerPoint show. As always, masculine and feminine nouns are colour coded throughout the resource. The PowerPoint would be equally useful for classroom display. You could even print on A5 and laminate for a keyword wall or print four to a page for flash cards. Alongside the PowerPoint is a 'dominoes' game and instructions included. Printing and laminating this means it can be used over and over. Enjoy.

THIS RESOURCE USES PYTHON VERSION 3. There are subtle differences between version 2 and 3, I believe. It's free to download though, so maybe update your systems. This is the second lesson in a series of my new resources on Python Programming. I'm teaching this to low ability year 9, though I know my higher ability year 7 would love it and I've also seen Python used within some primaries. It's suitable for any novice programming teacher (like me!). This lesson builds on my first lesson which introduced variables - although this lesson does include a recap if you wanted this as a standalone lesson without the first resource! The lesson is fully resourced and will last at least a full hour, if not longer. If you're an absolute beginner, this is ideal. Just read it through and print before teaching - that's it! Look out for my other Python programming resources as part of this series. 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.

YOU MUST HAVE MS ACCESS TO USE THIS LESSON (THE FBI FILES IS A DATABASE!). Teachers need to show students how to carry out a query using Microsoft Access first. Students can then use the database provided to independently practice their ability to carry out a query by answering questions 1 - 7 on the provided handout. Teachers should then bring the class together to play 'Guess Who' using the PowerPoint and database. Teachers display the clues to each of the four people and students should carry out a query to find the correct person. A reward for each quickest query-carry-outer could be provided. A long activity to complete your database lesson for Key Stage 3 ICT or Computing/Computer Science!

Another FULL Micro:bit lesson. I actually used the spare devices supplied by the BBC to deliver this lesson for Year 6 induction recently. Equally ideal for year 7 or 8 ICT/Computing groups. The PowerPoint, handout and attached code get the students to program a decision maker on their Micro:bit device. So, when shook, the device provides a random answer to the question the student asks - quite fun! Everything needed, including extra challenges to stretch the top end or step by step support for lower ability groups. A review of the lesson objectives at the end is also included. If you don't like paying for resources, I've also uploaded a FREE Rock, Paper, Scissors resource. Enjoy!

Best printed on A3, “Business in Context” gives learners an opportunity to read about about discuss a real business scenario. This resource is ideal traning for section B questions of the OCR GCSE Business Studies exam and content relates solely to the Business 1 specification but would suit any GCSE/A Level Business course really. This resource introduces entrepreneur Kimberlee Perry who founded fitness company “Bounce”. The scenario in the centre is factual. Six questions around the outside discuss: Qualities of an entrepreneur Stakeholders Business growth Recruitment Motivation This resource in detail: Format: PDF Editing: Not editable (no need) Content: 1 x PDF handout (best printed on A3 paper)

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 A4 sheet asking learners to calculate revenue and profit for a given scenario. Perfect for EdExcel Business Studies topic 1.3.2. Comes as a printable PDF, a host online PDF and with answers! Enjoy.

This lesson is PERFECT for an end of term Computing lesson or as a really FUN introduction to Scratch Programming. The 17 slide PowerPoint guides acts as your FULL lesson planning, guiding students through the process of making a racing car game in Scratch. It introduces and explains key terms like Spite, Stage and Variable as the lesson goes along too. If you wish, you could give students the glossary handout to complete throughout the lesson as seven key terms have been highlighted in PINK text to be written into the glossary and defined as the lesson progresses (optional extra!). The lesson includes a short peer assessment activity to look at each other’s games and offer pointers for improvements. In addition, the code on the handout could be annotated by students as a homework task or additional plenary. The lesson includes an extension challenge for higher ability students (fully differentiated by outcome, task and resources available to students). This would really suit KS2 or KS3 classes. My students LOVED it; I’ve used it with all of my year 7 Computing groups as a fun end of term lesson AND with my lower ability year 9 Computer Science GCSE group as an ice breaker introductory lesson to programming basics. Enjoy!

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.

FULL lesson that introduces Phishing. Includes starter, 2 main activities, lots of discussion, no computers required, 2 worksheets/handouts, full lesson PowerPoint with all answers included and a lesson review. 1. What is Phishing - discuss and write initial ideas (to show progress on the progress path sheet) 2. Identify pointers of a dodgy email (handout included with extension task) 3. Discussion and answers revealed (including possible answers to the extension task) 4. Poster raising awareness task - includes differentiated success criteria that matches the objectives. 5. Plenary review (on handout) that proves progress. No additional planning or adaptation required (bonus!). Enjoy.

NEW! See a video preview of part of this resource below! Reading the description will help you see if this is suitable for your students' ability. I would say, however, that this resource is ideally suited to upper KS2 / lower KS3. This resource is a FULL lesson which introduces Mean Average. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price, just check my other resources! The PowerPoint goes through what mean average is/how it's calculated. It then has two examples that can be done with your class (teacher led) - all answers are on the PowerPoint too. After each of the teacher led examples is one that students need to try themselves (these are labelled 'try it' on the PowerPoint). These are at the top of the worksheet. Students could try these, with help if needed - this could even be done is pairs. Finally, there's an independent task that has ten examples for students to calculate. These include numbers in the thousands, so differentiation by task is possible. Some answers include decimals. An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too. The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins took some work!). Enjoy ;-)

TWO RESOURCES for the price of ONE with PowerPoint visual for whiteboard to reveal answers/lead discussion and DISPLAY/FLASH CARD resource potential! 1) Colour translation dominoes game = Students need to cut out each of the 10 cards (each card has two halves like a domino). They must then match the French to the English to translate different colours. This should lead to them having a long matching string of cards from start to finish, like a row of corresponding dominoes. This resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. 2) Colour translation cut ,match and stick activity = Students need to cut out each of the cards and match the French colour names to the English. Again, this resource could be cut out and laminated to form a reusable game. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of colours in French or for lower ability year 8 groups. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy.

I designed this lesson plan outline for my department years ago. Having seen 6 million lesson planning formats, I decided we needed one that was quick, easy and, most importantly, all on one sheet (one compulsory planning document from my training days was SIX pages long!). Having your plan all on one page actually makes it USEFUL. Everything is included, just change the blue text to be your planning. Try to be as minimal as possible though, you'll follow it if it's quick to reference. This lesson plan includes objectives, outcomes, starter, mains, plenary, homework, lesson pace (timings), differentiation, support staff and links to numeracy/literacy. Any more than that and it's not useful, but the document is editable so feel free to make changes as you wish. This would be perfect for new teachers/trainees. It's also GREAT to hand to a classroom visitor so they get the gist of the lesson - I know this isn't a requirement but, as a frequent observer myself, it's still really nice to see what's gone before/will come after my ten/twenty minutes within the classroom. An A4 sheet can do a lot! Enjoy.

NEW! See a preview of part of this resource in the video below... This is part of a series of lessons for KS2 or KS3 maths on Averages. This lesson introduces the Median. All four averages lessons are listed separately OR as one short unit of work at a discounted price (£10), just check my other resources! The PowerPoint introduces the median then gives two teacher led activities to guide students through finding the median. After each teacher led part, the students get a chance to try themselves, where they can ask questions or even work in pairs. After discovering what the median is and having a go with help, students are given an independent task to work out the median. Some of the answers involve finding the middle value between two given numbers, so not just putting the values in order! An answer sheet is provided for the teacher too, and all answers pop up on the PowerPoint itself! The lesson is reviewed by students feeding back at the bottom of their handout. All images are either royalty free or made by myself (those coins and football shirts took some work!). Enjoy ;-)
