A resource designed to meet the needs of the GCSE Edexcel Business specification; Unit 1 Topic 5 - but could be used outside of this as a general introduction to supply and demand. The resource contains a PowerPoint driven by visuals, to which I have added my delivery notes along the bottom including how and when activities are undertaken. All resources can be edited as required. The content was delivered over a one hour lesson and includes; A spot the 'commodity' sorting task A guess the price of the commodity game Notes to define commodity, supply and demand -including external links to exemplify the impact on price A 'gold exchange' whole class activity A comparison of two businesses to assess the impact of changing commodity prices on business costs Included in the resources here are a ppt (including printable resource slides); a two page key notes hand-out with space for notes and activities (I have never been a fan of getting students copying from the board).

A set of five teacher "Subject Knowledge Audits" for the A level (Sept 2015 onwards) 'Social Science' subjects; Business (AQA 7132) Computer Science (OCR H446) Economics (AQA 7136) Psychology (AQA 7182) Sociology (AQA 7192) These have been produced to allow a RAG+ rating of all aspects of the A level curriculum coverage of each specification in a self-calculating spread sheet optimised for printing if required. A rating is entered as a number 1,2,3,4, or 5 against each element. The 'Analysis' tab compiles all of the information onto one page to allow; an overview of CPD need; identification of delivery responsibility and inform subject priority. The RAG+ rating (which can be edited) defines as: 5 (Purple) I have expertise in this topic; I would be confident to provide CPD in this area; I know how to deliver this content to allow students to confidently access full marks in exams. 4 (Blue) I have very secure subject knowledge in this area; I know how this topic area will be assessed in exams 3 (Green) I understand the key features of this topic, but would need to spend some time brushing up on aspects before delivering it; I would welcome chance to discuss this topic in the department to clarify some points; I have not taught this topic before, and may not be able to answer some student questions. 2 (Amber) I have an outline understanding of the topic but would need support to feel confident enough to teach it; I would feel uncomfortable if students asked stretching questions in this area. 1 (Red) I am unfamiliar with this topic, and would not be able to deliver it without significant preparation which may include internal/external support. Teachers can add comments against each section when a RAG+ rating does not allow a representative picture. The two images in the files section will give you a preview of a completed audit for Business.
