Print this sheet on A3. This is a quite engaging and relatively accessible start to Business Studies, particularly for Year 9 or low ability groups OR useful for PSHE or Enterprise lessons. They DRAW their idea for a business (there’s a shop front, so most will come up with businesses in retail, though could equally be a service based business like Estate Agents etc.). They then design a logo, flyer and come up with a business name. After this (which is a good introduction), I teach GOODS and SERVICES and SECTORS then get them to complete their sheet fully. I also get them to colour and make it look good for display. I’ve also included a version I made for new students who had just arrived from Poland. Enjoy.

Cut out and sort cards as a paired/group task to show the dos and don'ts when writing a CV. Includes a CV template for your students to edit, or write over if not in a computer room. Enjoy!

Let's learn about... Social Networks. This is a FULLY resourced double lesson and includes a lesson plan to hand to anyone who has to pop in to observe! The lesson includes a progress path to show ideas at the start and at the end of the lesson, so progress can clearly be identified. Students learn what a Social Network is and then discuss the good and bad things of Social Networking sites. Higher ability students can then move to giving advice/solutions to avoid the bad things from being an issue. A short homework task is also included to complete the circle and ensure you don't need to do any planning at all!! This lesson includes EVERYTHING. Download, print and go. No alterations required. Update - I've also added an electronic version of the good/bad points sorting activity, just in case you're in a computer room or want to do it on the board!

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.

A fun resource, and very adaptable. Perfect for year 6 induction, team building sessions, GCSE Business Induction session or PSHE lesson on Enterprise. So many different uses - and suitable for a range of ages. The session gets students to come up with a new product that turns the humble house brick into something everyone wants! Fully resourced. No need for a computer if you’re teaching in a classroom - just some basic art supplies (pencils/crayons etc.). This resource includes a student example, student hand out, instructions and PowerPoint display. Enjoy.

Everything is included! There’s a PowerPoint which guides teachers through the lesson, including speaker notes with additional commentary. Activities: Discuss differentiated outcomes / objectives Mind map ways a business can be ethical Discussion on ways a business can be ethical Cut and paste group sort activity ethical or unethical? (hand out/worksheet included) Discussion on ethical or unethical practice (answers included on PowerPoint) Design/display work (A3 handout) - students design a new ethical milkshake brand Differentiation: higher abilities also add how much their brand will do ethically compared to competitors. Should be quite a fun lesson for what is often a tedious topic. Some good display work can be produced too if students are allowed time to colour/design their brand ideas. Would also suit PHSE topics on ethical trading/fair trade etc.
