The latest in the new series of PowerPoint resources aimed at assisting teachers with the delivery of the WJEC/Eduqas A-level Business specification (but are suitable for all boards). These slides and hand out are designed to support the delivery of the Component Three topic of PEST Analysis. They explain the main economic factors that affect business activity and the impact of economic policy upon stakeholders. They examine the meaning and measurement of economic growth (GDP), the different phases of the business cycle, the measurement, causes and effects of inflation (cost-push and demand-pull), the impact of interest rates and the role of the Bank of England, exchange rates and their link with interest rates and finally the different types, measurements and impacts of unemployment (structural, frictional, cyclical and seasonal). The slides contain the Quick Fire Five questions and also a practice essay (both with solutions). The pack also contains a FREE set of student revision notes.
AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at economic opportunities in London, focusing on the regeneration of the London Docklands.
We start with a photo interpretation of the London Docklands in the late 1970s. The pupils start to think about why the area has declined and how it might affect the residents.
We then introduce the concept of urban regeneration and start by looking at the history of the Docklands and the pupils complete spray diagram of reasons why the area feel into disuse. We then look at the London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) and the pupils create an annotated diagram ‘the road to regeneration’ using information from the board.
Once we have completed the diagram we tackle a 6-mark question on economic improvements in a HIC city. The pupils do have some help with some points to get them going if they need it.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Photo interpretation starter
Several tasks around the London Dockland’s and the LDDC
Video clips where appropriate
GCSE-style question with guidance
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.

This document explains how to approach all types of questions . I have tweaked and improved this over a number of years based on feedback from other schools and other top educational organisations . This has been a life saver for my students and all of them have a copy of it in their folders and refer to it when practising questions and preparing for exams.
It explains the exact breakdown of what to do for each question type for the Edexcel Economics course (all three papers). It explains what makes a perfect paragraph, the levels for 10+ mark questions and how marks are allocated for different question types, as well as the overall paper structure for the three A Level papers.
Included at the end is a good check for understanding worksheet for students to assess their own understanding of the exam requirements. I print those last two pages our regularly to reinforce this.
All my students love this resource and so will yours!
Happy shopping!
