A very simple word document which can be printed, laminated and cut up into individual words/phrases to make a revision resource for teaching primary economic activities.
Students must first of all, identify all the different people employed in the primary sector.
They then must identify all the inputs, processes and outputs of a farm and list them under the headings.
This can be done alone, in pairs or in small groups. Font is 'comic sans' (which is easier for dyslexic students to read). I recommend that it is printed on yellow paper which also aids dyslexic students.
