Lots of different types of businesses - perfect when answering an exam question and getting students to think how the answer would change if it was “this business compared to this business”.
As a plenary activity, i would split the class into 4 (no moving around), but within that 4 they are in the pair they sit with. I will pose a question and we will then go round answering the question to each of their specific business type. Great for building context!
This is a great resource that I pick things from when I give my students an article or case study to really get them to think hard about what they have just read. I don’t follow it in a chronological order, these are just some of the tasks i will get the students to do following the article reading - I find by doing this they engage with the context in more detail. Please use/adapt where you wish.
