It has two aims 1) to develop subject knowledge and ability to apply this to a given case study 2) to develop exam skills and ability to answer different types of questions. It is clearly explained with teacher instructions. There are two files: 1) one includes a set of activities that develops keywords and fundamental subject knowledge before using a given case study (Cath Kidston) to develop different types of examination questions. Students will need to be fully engaged with the case study in order to do this. They will create mark schemes and possible content for inclusion. 2) the second file is a blank editable template for students to create their own case study

This resource is a spreadsheet that can be used to create a competition for this year's The Apprentice. Each week students predict who they think will be the final two candidates. Points are calculated each week depending on whether their predicted candidates are in the winning team, losing team or the boardroom. Students can swap their predictions, although this will cost them points! A leader board is included to show the current winner each week. Running this league is good for generating discussion around business skills, how candidates handle the tasks and to encourage students to watch the show! Full instructions on how to use the spreadsheet are included.
