FULL lesson on Business Communication Methods (no lesson plan, just worksheets in booklet). These are best used AFTER you’ve taught, or at least introduced, verbal/non-verbal communication and internal/external communication. I actually mark page 2 of the booklet as a test out of 20 to assess understanding of the topic. Space on the front for teacher assessment WWW and EBi. Starter - Identify the methods of communication from the images. Peer marked. Extension - think of more methods of communication Main - Questions (after teaching) on verbal/non-verbal and internal/external communication Main 2 - Give a suitable method of communication for Review (or second lesson) - rate methods of communication on speed, cost and whether receipt is confirmed. Enjoy.

Update: The files marked NEW! include a template for this resource which already has the hyperlinks included in PowerPoint; so if you’re tight on time, students can still make use of this resource without having to learn how to make links. Along with this are 6 challenges (differentiated) and a log for students to complete and take with them - PERFECT for Year 6 Induction in a computer room/IT/Computing lesson. As it’s the end of term, this fun activity still gets students learning about how to add hyperlinks into PowerPoint presentations. The scary maze can be changed for Santa’s maze, if you’re aiming to do something ‘Christmassy’! The activity gets students to create a version of the ‘scary maze game’ (Google it!). They find a scary image that, if their users hit the wall of their maze, will flash on the screen (after slides are linked). I don’t want students having nightmares though, so I have provided an alternative ‘nicer maze game’ too! Included is a student handout, PowerPoint to act as a short lesson guide (two versions - scary and nicer) as well as a scream sound for students to use if placed on a shared area. As always, feedback is welcome! Enjoy! *Copyright - I either own everything or it comes from an acknowledged, royalty free source!

BEFORE YOU COMMIT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY; view the video to see the quality of this resource below! This PowerPoint contains eight generic starter activities suitable for upper KS2 to Post-16 teaching in ANY subject. I’ve also provided a set of teacher notes to accompany the resource which opens up the activities to a variety of adaptations which does mean the eight activities can be used over-and-over again, even with the same class! I’ve tried really hard to make sure the PowerPoint is well designed and engaging. The main aim was MINIMUM effort from the teacher, MAXIMUM gain - incorporating elements of literacy into ANY subject area. I’d love your feedback. Enjoy!

---This resource is similar to the domino resource, so don't buy if you've already invested in that resource!--- Cut out, match up and stick down exercise OR cut out and laminate for a reusable resource. Comes with supporting PPT with answers. Perfect for KS2 or year 7 french, introducing names of high street shops or for lower ability year 8 groups. Printing in colour will also help highlight the usage of le/la un/une for masculine/feminine words. PowerPoint also includes articles colour coded to further support teaching of masculine/feminine words. Ideal starter to introduce the words, main activity to reinforce translations or plenary to review a lesson. The presentation can also be printed and laminated for display purposes. Printing on A5 could make it form part of a keyword wall or printing 4 to a page would make ideal flashcards! Enjoy. Feedback always gratefully received too.

An introduction to organisation/organization charts. This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note). Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions. Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates. All companies are fictional, logos designed by me, Enjoy.

This resource depends on you teaching Business Ownership first (sole traders, partnerships and companies). Students should be given a printed version of the puzzle (the one with two pages). I get them to work in pairs as they can both be cutting at the same time to reduce ‘cutting time’. They both cut out one of the pages then get to work creating a triangle solution by connecting matching statements. There is only ONE way the puzzle will become a triangle correctly, so it’s trial and error but a GREAT task to consolidate learning of Business Ownership topic. I then get learners to stick their puzzles down on A3 paper (two sheets, because it just sticks over one A3 page). Alternatively, you could cut the puzzle and laminate for year on year use. I’ve included the solution. To ensure ALL students can access it, I print the solution on A3 paper and stick it in the corridor. Each pair gets a few chances to go out and take a peek, if needed. Finally, I’ve included a plenary to review the tarsia puzzle and a homework true or false activity on Business Ownership, this might work well as a homework task to see what students have learnt from the puzzle. Enjoy!

Includes; - Starter to introduce what malware is (students work this out themselves) - Research task - use the internet or the fact sheets provided (printing on A3 is best) - Malware for beginners leaflet (like malware for dummies!) template for computer or for printing included - Exam style questions to complete independently - I let my students use their leaflets, so there's some purpose to completing the task - Review from my plenary selector BUT includes template of a mobile phone - students text the teacher what they've learnt!

This resource REALLY cuts down on your marking workload and acts as an effective starter to a lesson once a piece of work/section of work has been marked/reviewed. Follow this process… Print this resource on A4 paper (or A3 if you’re going to write a lot). ‘Tick and Flick’ mark each piece of work/book for a whole class or particular group of students. As you’re going through, note your comments on the sheet within one of the sections below. Praise (What Went Well) Misconceptions/Common Errors Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Even Better If Presentation DIRT Activity/Activities Once complete, photocopy a sheet for all students to glue into their books or attach to their work. In the following lesson, students should action the DIRT activity. You should also display this sheet (if scanned in) as a discussion point/starter. Your marking has been reduced… very effectively too! TIPS: Students LOVE to be named on this sheet, as everyone in the class gets a copy! Name particular students within the relevant sections of the marking tool sheet. Don’t use this for EVERY piece of marking you do! This is designed to reduce the marking you do, not obliterate it! Choose when this tool will work well for you and your class. Print a bank of these off so they’re easily at hand.

If you liked the first Plenary Wheel, things just got even better!! Version 2 is here, all new, USE ALONGSIDE VERSION ONE, NOT INSTEAD OF!! All your plenaries will be planned for months to come, if not longer!! See a video preview below BEFORE choosing to buy this TOP quality resource. Interactive, fun and engaging. A perfect end to the lesson! The plenary wheel is a PowerPoint file with a rotating wheel. Ask one of your students to shout STOP to select how the lesson ends. NO PLANNING involved. Just open the file and let your students decide. This wheel is the sequel to my original plenary wheel - it contains 8 NEW PLENARY activities that focus on the question “What have I learnt today”. It’s not a rebrand - so if you want both look for my bundle and then you’ll have SIXTEEN plenary activities - that’s your academic year sorted! The plenaries are: 60 seconds - tell a partner what you’ve learnt in a minute - timers includes. Picture review - draw how you feel/what you’ve learnt - template/handout included (print a bank of these ready!). Emoji review - select an emoji to summarise your learning today - template included if required (black and white or colour). Text message - write a reply to the text on the slide. 4-3-1, my take on the 5-5-1 review - write four sentences then whittle it down to just 1 word to summarise today’s lesson. Handout included, again print a stack ready! Red, Amber, Green - three sentence review of your learning today. Tell me three - answer the three summary questions about today’s learning. Status update - write a social media status to summarise your learning today. Macros must be enabled for the wheel to function, though the plenary activities can still be viewed without the wheel spinning (less exciting!). Enjoy!

Everything you need to teach Sole traders and teach it well - perfect for an observation. Differentiated learning outcomes included on the presentation. The presentation would also be useful printed as some stage for revision for your learners. The two activities include sorting advantages and disadvantages of sole trader ownership and an extended writing question. The lesson includes marking sheets that have space to match the work completed in this lesson to success criteria and space to give WWW and EBi (gap task). This really is value for money. To get even more value, use the plenary from the last slide in some of your other lessons - it's not lesson specific and is quite a nice end to any lesson. Enjoy!

This 9-page booklet is mapped against OCR GCSE Business Studies J204. This resource includes a printable PDF version AND a PowerPoint version that learners can complete and submit online, via Google Classroom etc. Answers included in separate PDF document! Activities on: Entrepreneurs Business Plans Sole traders / Partnerships Limited Companies Business Ownership (liability) Aims and Objectives Stakeholders Business Growth GREAT FOR HOMEWORK!

To REDUCE MARKING - there’s the smallest space for teachers to put 4 ticks to assess each homework. Low stakes, low work-load marking.

This lesson introduces students to the different connections available for digital devices (wired and wireless connections). Students should mind map their own ideas first, before answers are revealed (click on the slide to reveal answers!). Students must then research OR use the support sheet to group advantages and disadvantages of each connection type. On the back page of the booklet is a review of the lesson where students must decide on the BEST method of connection; there are more answers, but the IDEAL answer is shown on the PowerPoint itself and students should be told this! Enjoy!
