<p>Use this resource as a poster, set of posters or placemat as an aid memoire or set of activities to push your most able A Level Business students. It’s a 12 slide PowerPoint of 11 ideas, for the keen and able to work on in or out of lessons. It’s largely dual-coded, to make it memorable. It can be tailored to your exam-board writing frames and structures, e.g. it mentions DISCM for conclusions.</p>

<p>Print off these A3 pdf posters for students to fill in themselves, to help them revise knowledge for the upcoming exams. I use the Brain, Buddy, Book, Boss technique. In pairs students must fill in as much of the poster allocated to them, as possible. When stuck, they can join up with another pair of students, to make a small group, and use their buddies to add more detail. They can then either swap incomplete posters with another group OR use their books or revision guides to get them completed. Finally, I intervene to re-cap or re-teach topics that I’ve seen they’re struggling with. So, I have assessed their revision needs first, before launching into revision topics blind.</p> <p>These are handwritten posters. There are 26 for Paper One and 29 for Paper Two, so 55 posters in total. They cover every topic in the specification and are numbered accordingly e.g. 1.1.3. There are two pdfs, one for each paper.</p> <p>The style is basic. It is the students that bring the colour and style, making it their own work. We display them around the room once complete.</p>

<p>Three essay feedback sheets for 9, 15 and 25 mark answers to A Level Economics, AQA specification. I use these when returning sixth form students’ answers. They get to see the marking codes I use for speedy and accurate marking, relating to the AOs, assessment objectives. Levels and grade descriptors are clear. Essay checklist e.g. PEAL paragraphs included as is space on the reverse for students to identify areas of strengths and weakness.<br /> I use these sheets when students first attempt the different lengths of question, training them to remember all the golden rules around using definitions, PEAL paragraphs, including context as well as appropriate, accurate and well referred diagrams.<br /> The marking codes can be adapted to suit your centre.</p>

<p>These popular mindmaps are in a revision clock format and cover every topic of the AQA A Level Business course 7132, adapted for exams from 2025. This means these revision materials don’t have the abandoned models like Greiner’s Model or Bowman’s Clock.<br /> There are two formats for each topic. They are PowerPoints, so can easily be adapated, e.g. for font size or colour. 25 slides in total.<br /> I use them by;</p> <ul> <li>making them accessible to all years on our Google Classroom</li> <li>using them in lesson, for in-class revision, ahead of unit assessments</li> <li>before mock exams</li> <li>for homework</li> </ul>

<p>Mind maps for Edexcel Business GCSE 9-1. Format is both ‘revision clocks’ and fill-the-gaps in one PowerPoint document. I use these in a revision lesson before each unit assessment. I also get students to complete a fill-the-gaps sheet to recap a whole Paper’s learning. There are mind maps for every topic and fill-the-gaps for both Papers.<br /> The fill-the-gaps sheets at the start of the PowerPoint are tailored, with more or less information as required for different abilities<br /> There are also mind maps for<br /> A Level Economics AQA<br /> A Level Business AQA<br /> A Level Geography Edexcel<br /> GCSE Economics AQA</p>

<p>Mind maps for A Level Geography Edexcel specification. Excellent for revising all or any of the units covered over both years. In the style of ‘revision clocks’. ALL units are covered, to suit any choice of optional units within schools. I’ve used these successfully in GCSE geography and business as well. Students can be encouraged to complete them with key terms and case studies. The powerpoints are easy to view or print and can be adjusted to add a little more structure if required.<br /> There are also mind maps for<br /> A Level Economics AQA<br /> A Level Business AQA<br /> GCSE Economics AQA<br /> GCSE Business Edexcel</p>

<p>These are a full set of mind maps in a revision clock format. For the AQA A Level (not AS Level) Economics course. Specification number 7136. Each topic is covered one page at a time.<br /> Students use them before each unit assessment to help them prepare by revising key words and concepts. Also useful in Year 13 before summer exams. My students have loved using them to recap their lockdown learning, giving them reassurance before we teach any new content.<br /> I have also developed these mind maps for:<br /> GCSE Business Edexcel<br /> GCSE Economics AQA<br /> A Level Geography Edexcel<br /> A Level Business AQA</p>

<p>All exam questions for the GCSE in Economics by AQA are included in this scheme of work that maps the questions to the topics. It includes both sets of Sample Assessment Materials (SAM and SAM2) and 2019 and the recent 2020 exam papers.<br /> This resources makes it easy for teachers to find past paper questions to give out for homework, model answer practice in class, plenaries or revision. It’s also great to give out at the start of the year at the front of students’ folders or books.<br /> The resource is split into two halves, one per theme/exam paper.</p>

<p>This is an adaptation of Edexcel’s AOs for their GCSE Business 9-1. The Assessment Objectives have been altered to be a student friendly handout in student speak, stating what they can or should achieve at the next level. The handout takes the form of a leveled mark scheme that has 3 descriptions. The first level describes grades 1 up to 3, the second level describes grades 4 up to 6 and the final level describes grades 7 up to 9. This resource can be printed as a landscape A4 handout, file sheet, reference. You could easily copy it into another format, for Word or PowerPoint etc.</p>

So they use one revision clock after I’ve taught each unit. They’ve been especially useful since coming back after lockdown. Before moving onto new content we’re recapping our lockdown learning using these mindmaps.<br /> I also have GCSE Business for Edexcel and A Level Geography for Edexcel</li> </ul>

<p>These are a complete set of mind maps in the revision clock format. They cover every unit and topic of the AQA GCSE specification 8136. There are two presentations, one for Paper One, one for Paper Two. There are evaluation pages for each topic too, asking students to reflect on what they know, what they need to revise, which diagrams would be suitable and any ‘hacks’ to help them remember.<br /> I have used them before each unit assessment, to recap the knowledge and identify any knowledge gaps. They are also used by Year 11 in the run-up to summer exams. They were really appreciated by the students when we recapped all our lockdown learning too.<br /> There are also mind maps for<br /> A Level Economics AQA<br /> A Level Business AQA<br /> A Level Geography Edexcel<br /> GCSE Business Edexcel</p>

<p>These are feedback sheets for A Level Business essays, for questions worth 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 and 25 marks, so six different sheets, Each sheet includes<br /> marking codes - can be adapted to suit your school/college<br /> levels and grades<br /> essay checklist<br /> feedback grid for each AO assessment objective</p> <p>Each feedback sheet is tailored to the number of marks, e.g. shorter questions which don’t require AO4 evaluation don’t have these aspects- to keep them concise and clear.<br /> I use these sheets before assessments, to remind the students of the demands of each question type e.g. a full evaluation and ongoing evaluation for the longer questions.<br /> Students use them after the assessment to self assess their performance and see how they could progress up a level.<br /> They get to see how grades are judged in levels and the weighting of assessment objectives as well as how to meet these AOs.</p>

<p>Questions WITH ANSWERS for all GCSE Paper 1 micro and Paper 2 macro economics topics. Written for the AQA Economics GCSE, they can be used before unit tests, end of year exams or mock exams. My students love them in the lead up to assessments. There are around a dozen questions for each topic. A very comprehensive resource at 26 slides long.<br /> A version for GCSE Edexcel Business is also available.</p>

<p>Having taught the topic of Business Plans I then give my students a few lessons to create their own Business Plans. These template help them with the structure. It reminds them what the precise nature of the aspects are, e.g. the difference between aims and objectives or fixed versus variable costs. The best students create really original ideas. Others think about a plan for existing businesses e.g. window cleaning, and this is fine too. The aim of the plan is for them to revise/remember the 8 aspects of a business plan and to have some creative time too.<br /> This template was specifically designed for Edexcel Business 9-1 but it will help in any GCSE specification that has business plans within it.<br /> This is a PowerPoint with two slides that would be printed double sided, flip on short edge</p>

<p>a 27 slide PowerPoint of revision tasks, questions and activities for GCSE Business Edexcel 9-1. There are recall tasks, diagrams to label, formula to complete, sentences to fill in. All the answers are given in the notes for each slide. It’s in two parts; for Paper One and Paper Two. I’ve used it already to prepare my Year 11s for their mock exams. It shows them the range of topics in each paper and enables them to evaluate which of the topics they need to revise in depth, i.e. they found the recall slide on a topic difficult.</p>

<p>This PowerPoint has questions WITH ANSWERS to test students’ knowledge of every topic on the Edexcel GCSE 9-1 Business specification, 1BS0. I use them to check subject knowledge when revising in class, ahead of unit tests or end of year mocks. Each topic has a slide of questions, followed by one with the answers. There are between 10 to 13 questions for each topic.<br /> A version for GCSE AQA Economics is also available.</p>

<p>These simple cards are easy to print for students or to email them for completion. There are 6 cards per A4 sheet. The cards encourage A Level geography students in particular to condense their notes. They can focus on 5 key facts. The cards also encourage the students to categorize their case studies by topic, i.e. which area of study is this place going to be used as evidence for? I like to encourage students to build up a bank or file, colour coded per topic e.g. all Tectonic case study cards in orange, all Water case study cards in blue etc.</p>

<p>This resource is good for revising Bowman’s Strategic Clock, as part of the A Level Business AQA specification. Use it just after teaching it, as a group activity or as revision before end of unit tests or mock exams.<br /> Page 1: the answers<br /> Page 2: blank table to complete<br /> Page 3: jumbled answers to sort and add to the table, to complete the model</p> <p>I’ve also produced revision clocks / mind maps for A Level and GCSE Business and other planning/revision resources</p>

<p>a sorting table activity for the four main types of unemployment on the GCSE AQA specification; structural, cyclical, seasonal, frictional. Students could colour code the statements to match the headings or cut them out and stick them in under the correct headings. There are 5 stretch and challenge questions at the bottom, e.g. which is the most/least serious long term</p>

<p>Greiner’s Growth Model is part of the AQA A Level Business specification. It is in 9.1 Assessing a Change in Scale in Year 2 topics. This sorting and labeling activity requires students to label the diagram of growth with the basics of title and axis and then the different stages, crisis and their characteristics.<br /> This is a great activity to set for small groups for revising this complex model. Precise AO1 knowledge is needed for answering multiple choice questions as well as when using the model in longer answers.</p> <p>I have ‘revision clock’ mind maps for AQA A Level Business on TES resources, as well as for GCSE Edexcel Business, Economics and A Level Geography for Edexcel</p>
