A full set of lesson resources and a lesson plan to teach and assess the topic of the Boston Matrix. There is a ‘market place’ activity to teach the topic in an interactive way, an assessment, a PowerPoint and a lesson plan- nice little lesson.

I use this PowerPoint to start every lesson to consolidate students’ knowledge of topics covered. We call it a rapid-fire recap and students are meant to answer the questions in as few words possible (and they get very competitive with each other about this!), It’s a great way to recap topics and gets students to distill key words and concepts into as few words as possible which really helps with revision and recall. There are dozens of questions here than can be used of sequences of lessons and adapted as needed.

My students love this revision activity. Attached is a list of key words for both theme 1 and 2 exams. Our reprographics very kindly printed, laminated and chopped these up so we can use them to play articulate in lesson. Students play in groups and put all the cards face down and pick a card up at a time, describing the key term using business definitions- the person that guess correctly keeps the card. Each person describes for one minute, whoever has the most at the end is the winner. A nice plenary activity or one for a Friday afternoon to keep students engaged- they can get very competitive- some of my students even asked for their own set so they could play at home!

A huge PowerPoint and set of resources to teach the economy and associated topics.

A Powerpoint to teach the topic of branding and customer loyalty. There is a card game where students can put them face down and then pick one up and have to define it/act it out

A fantastic set of resources to teach organisation charts and communication. There is a PowerPoint to explain all the key concepts and a range of activities. When students come into the lesson, give them a job role card for ‘Jack’s restaurant’ which will get them interested for later in the lesson. Once you’ve discussed how a basic hierarchy looks, take them outside (or wherever there is space!) and ask them to create a human hierarchy to represent the restaurants (give them string to represent the lines of command)- I then give the owner sentences/commands which they must pass through the chain of command through Chinese whispers- this let’s them see some of the problems of tall structures (and is usually very funny!) you could also task them with creating a new organisational structure/restructuring. There is a task to teach the key vocab that can be used as a treasure hunt where you put the definition sheets up around the room/hall and they have to find them all and complete their sheet. There is also a worksheet task for them to consolidate their knowledge. My students loves this lesson and it’s a great, practical way for them to learn the topic.

A lesson and fantastic activity to teach students about international trade, tariffs, quotas, trade blocs and subsidies. There is a game where students work in groups and represent a country, calculating how much they can produce and sell steel for. Each round you (the UK) buy from the cheapest team and protectionist policies are gradually introduced so they can see the impact it has on sales. The PowerPoint includes a range of tasks and activities and can be used over a number of lessons.

A full lesson resource to teach the topic of remuneration. There is an activity that can be used as a treasure hunt or fact finding activity where the teacher prints and puts up the definitions of each method and the students need to find the information, before discussing in their groups the advantages and disadvantages of each method and recording it on their sheet. This download includes a PowerPoint, the sheets for the treasure hunt, a worksheet for them to complete and a workbook of tasks. A fun way to teach the topic of remuneration!
