These resources are designed for planning the D1 aspect of Component 1 courswork. Some of these make mention of businesses local to our school, but I have left these in so that you have the choice to ignore/delete those bits, or to edit them to reflect businesses closer to your school. There are three presentations and worksheets to go with them for the students to make notes. They are sufficient for 2 or 3 lessons.

1 x presentation 1 x HW instructions (based on Revision Book - but w/s can be put on Google Classroom… or printed off for hard copy)

Two versions of cover sheets for Component 1 coursework folders to provide students with the assessment criteria and to tick off work as it gets done. Both have explanatory text / guidance on the back to help the students understand - in one case, the bigger picture, and in the other case, the nature of the work they must produce for each task.

Resources for entire lesson, focusing on cartel-like behaviours and anti-competitive practice. Resources include: Engaging presentation with built-in questioning, videoclip, and task instructions. Key words and definitions sheet. Quiz. x3 case studies from CMA for analysis during lesson. Exam question from past exam paper, with marking criteria. Designed specifically for Edexcel A’Level Economics A (3.4.4), but will work well for any board/spec requiring understanding of cartel and anti-competitive behaviour.

Worksheet suitable for starting off this topic. (and it’s Time constrained - in case anyone is baffled ~ I couldn’t decide between timed, time bound, time constrained, etc !)

It’s all common sense, but if you have it, it works well with pages 83 - 91 of this text book - ISBN 9781846906206, which is what the resource was created for back in the day.

Do it with or without the PowerPoint - up to you! It’s a kinda flexible activity - there are some suggestions at the top of the pdf document. When you see it, you’ll probably know how YOU want to use it.

1 x presentation 1 x HW instructions (based on Revision Book - but w/s can be put on Google Classroom… or printed off for hard copy) The additional resources (11a…) are for the Learning Aim D practice assessment lesson and are based on the textbook, but are presented here in an easy to use/display format and suitable for addition to Google Classroom.

1 x presentation 2 x worksheets

1 x presentation 1 x ‘cartoon strip’ type activity (best done as one sheet per student) - can be used also as wall display afterwards. 1 x HW instructions (based on Revision Book - but w/s can be put on Google Classroom… or printed off for hard copy) Sufficient for at least one lesson

1 x presentation 3 x worksheets Group tasks and individual tasks H/W instructions Probably sufficient for more than one lesson

This handy document explains to students how the grades and points achieved in their Business BTEC National Extended Diploma units are used to determine whether or not they fulfil the entry requirements for the degree course of their choice, or entry onto a degree apprenticeship. It’s a sheet I use in the run-up to exams, which I find especially useful to help those that have not settled, to wake up to reality - in the hope that they pull their finger out and do some revision before their exams. To be fair, it can be used at any time. You may want to give it out at the start of the course and/or to use it throughout to monitor progress to target - or introduce it a bit later, when the students have started to understand the structure of the course better. Anyhow - here it is. My students love it, and at the end of the course always say it was one of the most useful documents I gave them throughout the course - I’m sure yours will love it too! : )

These resources are sufficient for one lesson about the motivation and reasons to become an entrepreneur, and designed for teaching BTEC Tech Award 2022 – Component 1. The files include: • A presentation to cover the content, with planned, built-in questions that provide opportunities for questioning and discussion. • Two worksheets linked to the presentation topic. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo A note on this series of resources for BTEC Tech Award – Enterprise (2022): Firstly, thank you to everyone who purchased the resources I produced for the 2018 version of this spec – I could never have anticipated how popular they were going to be and I’m so happy I could help so many other teachers! I have now updated the resources to fit the changes in the 2022 spec. In my shop you will find resources for individual topic lessons for the 2022 spec, but you will also find packages of multiple lessons – these are not TES Bundles, but they are groups of presentations and worksheets that are almost identical to the individual lessons, and grouped according to the assessment criteria for the PSA. However, they are paired with further resources/templates for completing a practice PSA alongside learning the content. With this format, students will learn the content AND apply their learning as they go, in a manner whereby they can be guided and supported to feel confident about tackling their real PSA later on. The packages with the practice PSA tasks are much better value for money – unless all you’re looking for is a single topic lesson of course! I really hope you continue to find my resources useful. If so, please be kind and show your appreciation by leaving a review, so that it helps me - and helps others to find quality resources. : ) Thanks!

I usually allocate specific questions to specific students in advance. Obviously this is for later on in this unit, but here it is, ready for whenever you need it. There are many other resources in this series, closely following the ‘official’ textbook ISBN-10: 1292231394, which was all we really had to guide us in the first year.
