Following the Autumn Statement 2016 delivered by Philip Hammond we conducted a debate in class on whether or not the NLW should be increased. This resource includes a worksheet for students to construct their arguments, some answers that could have been raised including evaluation and a powerpoint presentation on national minimum wage that we had looked at the previous lesson.

Students are market doctors and must diagnose the market failure in question from the free market. They must then prescribe a solution. Market failures addressed include: - Externalities - Public Goods - Information Failure - Unequal Distribution of Income and Wealth Solutions may include: - Taxation - Government provision - Information provision - Regulation - Government Provision - Education and campaigns

An activity that would be good as an end of topic review. The monopoly question inception has questions inside a question inside a question. All the PDF's are editable so can be uploaded into each other and create a professional looking document at the end. Students must answer the following question: To what extent do monopolies exploit consumers? And fill in the Monopoly Sheet. To do this they must categorise the following eight arguments into arguments for and arguments against the statement. They can then be uploaded into the Monopoly Sheet which is the main document. However, none of these arguments are complete and each need students to complete various tasks before they can be included into the main document. These include gap fills, word searches, true or false, definitions, explanations, interpreting pictures, evaluation, including key words etc. Once they are completed they must be saved as PDF's and uploaded into the main document (which is also saved as a PDF). When using this resource I didnt tell the students the titles of the PDF's but renamed them into 'argument 1, argument 2, argument 3 etc.' This prevents any clues being given away. At the end of the lesson students have effectively worked together to write an essay plan which can also be used for revision. I found this lesson to be very successful as it stretches and challenges more able students, but still has opportunities for weaker students to shine and encourages them to work together to consolidate their knowledge. Topics covered include: - Price Discrimination - Static Efficiency: Allocative Efficiency, Productive Efficiency and X Efficiency - Dynamic Efficiency - Business Objectives - Economies of Scale - Natural Monopoly - Output and Prices - Minimum Efficient Scale - Evaluation

A resource including two worksheets (can be given as homework or class activities) and two teacher powerpoint presentations on aggregate demand and short run aggregate supply only. I have also included suggested evaluation for the AD worksheet.

This resource is made up of a powerpoint presentation on inflation, a worksheet looking at who is hurt by inflation and a lesson activity getting students to discuss and rank costs of inflation to firms.

Evaluation points that can be used in unit 2 and unit 4 essay questions. Evaluation points for macroeconomic objectives encompass any question students could be asked. There are also essay plans with evaluation for all three macroeconomic policies. Slides 1 - 8 can be printed and given to students to fill in either individually, in pairs or as a group. Extensive answers can be found slides 9 - 16.

A labour market revision booklet made specifically for OCR F583 Economics of Work and Leisure but also could be used for AQA Business Economics and the Distribution of Income. The presentation can be printed as two booklets. The first 16 slides has blanks which students can fill in themselves. I normally print them as one A4 piece of paper for each slide. The next 16 slides is a teacher copy with the answers on. The content included in this booklet is: - The supply of labour by the individual and to the industry - Non pecuniary factors - The demand for labour and MRP theory - Elasticity of labour demand and labour supply - Factors that shift the labour demand and labour supply curve - Wage determination and its influences - Economic rent and transfer earnings

1 x Powerpoint 3 x Worksheet This resource includes a powerpoint on unemployment for the A Level Economics specification, a worksheet on the problems of unemployment where students discuss to what extent each type of unemployment is costly to the economy a worksheet that categorises different rates of unemployment in regions of the UK and some policies to correct it and limitations of the measures of unemployment, and a worksheet that assesses the remainder of the policies.

A worksheet specifically looking at the causes of economic growth. (Check out my GDP Statistics resource for measurement of economic growth) I have also uploaded my own answers to the worksheet that have been handwritten and scanned in. There is also a powerpoint on economic growth looking at measurement, causes, consequences in advantages and disadvantages and evaluation. I have also included a lesson activity focussing on the multiplier effect and how that can be evaluated that includes answers.

This resource is a game which can take a whole lesson. Students need to work together to break the safe before the time runs out. To break the safe they need to solve eight puzzles (tasks) and find the correct letters for the eight letter password. However this is a very secure safe and the password will change every 5 minutes so students need to work quickly, accurately and together. The tasks are as follows: - Functions and characteristics of money looking at Bitcoin - Crowding Out - The Economic Cycle and Monetary Policy - Calculating Bond Yields and Coupons - Bank Balance Sheet - Financial Markets Key Terms - General Financial Markets Questions - Assets and Liquidity All tasks have been uploaded in editable PDF versions and word/powerpoint versions for teachers to amend as appropriate. The answers have also been uploaded in a separate document. These tasks could instead be used as worksheets if this would better suit your teaching. All of the questions have been written with the new A Level Economics specification in mind. In particular the financial markets topic.

This resource is a game that gets students to work together and solve the tasks to find the letters for the eight letter password to the safe. However, it is a very secure safe and the password will change every five minutes, so students must work efficiently and together in order to break it. There are six tasks that need to be completed Task 1 - Cost push or demand pull inflation Task 2 - AS macroeconomics definitions Task 3 - Index numbers and other calculations (multiplier and real values) Task 4 - General macroeconomics questions Task 5 - Automatic stabilisers Task 6 - Shifts in SRAS and AD They vary in difficulty and so tasks can be given to differentiate between different abilities. You can also do it as a challenge by spitting the class into two groups and seeing who gets the answer first. Or you could just use the different tasks as worksheets or revision activities. I would get the students to prove how they got the answer, as if they get the first 4 letters they may be able to guess the remainder without working it out for themselves. I have uploaded all tasks in word format and editable pdf formats. It took my quickest group 25 minutes to solve and my slowest group 45 mins.
