Lesson presentation, images for group activity and a worksheet for the third topic in Component 3.

Lesson presentation and worksheet for second topic in Component 3.

Detailed presentation and double-sided worksheet for this lesson.

Resources for the last two lessons of Component 1, including both lesson presentations, worksheets, data sheet, and topic confidence rating sheet. The worksheet for lesson 34 features businesses local to our school, but the document is editable so that you can swap these to businesses near to your own school.

Resources for two lessons. Attached: a presentation for the SWOT lesson, and presentation for the PEST lesson. The worksheets for the activity feature businesses close to our school, but the documents are editable so that you can change these to businesses near your own school.

The presentation and worksheet for lesson 29 make reference to two businesses local to our school. The task works as is, but you may choose to change these to businesses that are nearer to your own school. The documents are editable for this.

The presentation for lesson 26 makes reference to some businesses local to our school. The activity can be done as is, or you could change the businesses to some that are near your school if you choose.

Here are the resources for lessons 21, 22 and 23 of this series - ‘Understanding competitors’. The THREE lessons cover: 21 - Price and quality 22 - Availability and USPs 23 - How products stand out There are presentations, starters, worksheets, homeworks, self assessment… Lesson 21 has a task that requires the students to compare two local SMEs, so I have uploaded editable documents so that you can change these to SMEs near to your OWN school. Lesson 22 has a task that involves a number of local businesses, so I have uploaded the editable version of the list of company names for cutting up and putting ‘in the hat’ - you can change these to SMEs local to YOUR school. Lesson 23 presentation makes references to two businesses local to our school (which I think have now both closed down anyhow!!) and a chocolatier which has also now closed down. I have therefore uploaded editable documents here too, so that you can change these to SMEs near to your OWN school. I will try to make time to replace these businesses with ones that are surviving for next academic year. As with Learning Aim A, I am not uploading my practice assessment resources, because they are too heavily based on businesses local to our school, and not relevant to your students. Hence, the next set of lesson resources in this series will be lessons 26 and 27.

Here are resources for two lessons in this series - 19 and 20 - ‘Secondary research’ Online research and company materials Market reports and government reports The homework task of lesson 20 is specific to the borough within which our school lies (Islington), so I have left the relevant documents editable, so that if you choose, you can change these to make them more relevant to the borough/county in which YOUR school lies.

These resources are for TWO lessons: lessons 17 and 18 in the series. Primary research - questionnaires and observations Primry research - interviews, focus groups and surveys For each there are presentations and worksheets. Lesson 18 makes reference to a pizza restaurant local to our school, so I have uploaded editable documents so that you can change the business to one that is near YOUR school. If you have a pizza restaurant, all the better, but it could be any SME really. The adjustments needed are only minor, if you feel you’d like to change the business.

The 16th lesson in this series - Qualitative & quantitative market research. Attached are the presentation and a number of other documents for a lesson that refers to data relevant to our borough (Islington). I will add it to the series in any case, as you can either use it as it is, the theory is just the same after all, or you could amend the documents to make them relevant to your borough/county. And lucky for you if you’re in Islington : )

Here are the presentation and worksheets for the 15th lesson in this series - After-sales service & Linking products to customers. The worksheet is editable because a part of it makes reference to businesses local to our school, so that you can change them to businesses that are nearer, or more relevant to your school.

The resources here are for lesson 14 - Anticipating and identifying customer expectations.

Lessons 8, 9 and 10 - ‘Entrepreneurs’ Presentations and worksheets for all THREE lessons.

Lessons 5, 6 and 7 - ‘The purpose of enterprise’ Presentations and worksheets for THREE lessons.

The first TWO lessons of Component 1, following the Intro. Presentations and worksheets for both lessons. I’m sure you’ll be able to work out which worksheets go with which presentation. I have left the documents that feature businesses local to our school editable, so that you can replace any images/references with SMEs that are near your own school.

I have also included here the question list to use if you arrange for a visiting entrepreneur to come and speak to your students. 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. Some of these have a focus on local businesses, but you can easily change my resources by replacing with SMEs in your own area. At least that way you don’t have to start from scratch. : ) OOO OOO OOO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THESE RESOURCES ARE FOR THE 2018 SPEC.

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.
