An introductory lesson to Motivation and the Hierarchy of needs. Works best as a 3 student group task, but can also be completed independently. Students have an A3 sheet to work from, and four "Rounds" where the scenario or story line changes, asking them to consider how they would motivate their band of survivors. Each of these stages reflect a tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. Optional extra: If you choose to complete this activity in teams, you can turn this into a "Survival of the Fittest" style competition where teams are rewarded for good teamwork and punished for negativity, poor work ethic and poor team working skills. The "Zombie-Cards" file has premade cards that can be used for this purpose.

I use this sheet with my groups every year to prepare them for the caclulation style questions within the A Level Examination. I have colour-coded the questions in terms of their difficulty, allowing for natural differentiation. The A3 document is fully editable, in .docx format. I have currently not included a mark scheme with this document, as I tend to modify and ammend it often and would recommend working through these questions yourself before rolling it out with a group. Please let me know how it goes with your group! J

Concepts covered in these resources include: - Inflation - Interest Rates - Exchange Rates - Monetary and Fiscal Policy - Types of and Reasons for Government Spending - International Trade

This resource is an A3 sheet that can be used to teach Porters 5 Forces to AS/A2 students.

A word document with the "Orders" that students will have to fill as part of their production process.
