This encourages students to think about what they are good at, what they need to improve on, the opportunities available to them and what might stop them achieving them. Very handy for PSHE, Drama or Business studies.

Secret Body Language Exercise

(23)
In this exercise two people have to say the same script, but try through body-language to convey different messages. Hilarious and really shows how much people communicate through non-verbal communication.

iPad on Fire (Demand And Supply)

(11)
Students very much enjoy discussing topics in Economics that are relevant to then. This little cluster of resources enables teachers to discuss the recent launch of the Kindle Fire and how it affects demand and supply for the iPad. It includes a student made poster as well in Publisher and PDF Format. Do students think this is the correct interpretation or do thet think they could do it better? (This resource could also be used for ICT when discussing new technology.)
Theatre Posters

Theatre Posters

(3)
I made this for a performing arts enrichment for the students who did not want to be in the play. Students try to design a poster aimed directly at the audience by: 1. Having a standout image 2. Using the minimum amount of text 3. Being very clear about the audience & their motivation for seeing a play. I hope this PowerPoint saves you a bit of time trawling around for theatre posters and gives students some direction as to what is expected when making this kind of poster.
Using Keywords & Referencing

Using Keywords & Referencing

(0)
This little lesson was designed to encourage students to search using keywords and then reference information given. It also shows how keywords can be used to precis information. I hope it's useful.
Business Departments

Business Departments

(3)
This was made, because my A-level ICT students had no idea what business departments were and what they did. It is a simple sheet to make sure that students know the VERY basics.
Terrible Example Survey

Terrible Example Survey

(6)
This survey shows how not to do it! A great lesson for students to see that even adults make very silly mistakes and a real confidence builder for them to note how they could do it better. This resource now includes a detailed lesson plan and Worksheet for making your own survey.
Money Board Game

Money Board Game

(5)
This resource is a handout that enables students to create their own money board game. It is useful for revising personal finance in PSHE. In Business studies it can be used to revise Marketing and Competition. Students will need paper, colouring pencils, sellotape and scissors to make the game.
