Included in this resource pack is a complete teaching resource for the CIE A2 Business topic "6.1 External influences on business activity" , which is also suitable for many other examination boards. This resource is created using Microsoft Powerpoint, but is not intended for a PowerPoint style lesson. Instead, these resources are fully customisable workbooks that have been created in PowerPoint to utilise its flexibility and simplicity. When I teach with these resources I often write directly on these PowerPoints with my stylus. My students either use these resources as printed workbooks, or as electronic workbooks, depending on their preference.
