NEW FOR 2022
This is my complete set of presentation resources and corresponding workbooks for teaching the AQA Microeconomics Year 2 content.
Slides have starters, activities and all of the core information needed for the AQA course. There are 51 lessons in total (I teach 50 minute lessons) with plenty to stretch and challenge, meaning many lessons could be stretched out over more than one lesson. Most lessons have 3 multiple choice starter questions to prompt discussion and memory retention as students have to revisit past concepts. Towards the end of the course, this changes to essay titles for discussion and revision.
Workbooks are also included, which I use digitally, so that pupils have the core information and useful images in their notes. There are links, review exercises and research tasks all in an attractive and easy to navigate format. My pupils have loved this new addition. My reasoning was to reduce note-taking time and increasing discussion and active thinking time. I use them with Google Classroom as an ongoing assignment, meaning that I can check in on their notes as the course progresses.
250+ fully resourced lessons and high quality and detailed presentation slides as well as accompanying unit workbooks. The workbooks are designed to become the pupil’s go-to revision resource, which minimise the time spent passively noting information and maximise engagement through tasks, research, reading and developing diagrams.
Each lesson starts with 3 MCQ starter questions to interleave key concepts and promote long term learning, before building into the key theme of the lessons with varied activities for all levels, up to and including Oxbridge candidates. Many lessons include extension material, suggested extra reading and podcasts to stretch and challenge the brightest whilst also providing review for pupils to revisit the learning.
These resources have been hundreds of hours in the making, and I am convinvinced they are great value for money. My pupils love them, but here is one feedback comment on the Year 2 Micro section of lessons:
“These resources are second to none. Excellent lessons that teach the concepts step by step and have good varied exercises. The workbooks are perfect course companions. As a teacher new to Economics this has been perfect in saving us time and giving us a head start running the A-Level.”
