This pack includes all of the content that learners should be able to do for AQA A level business. It is split up into the different sections of the course that can be printed individually or the pack printed as a whole.
Students can use this to self-assess their progress as they complete sections of the course. Teachers can use it to monitor confidence levels and areas of weakness for individual students or for the class as a whole. It can inform future teaching.
This is designed for A Level Business students. 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
