Resources to help deliver the principles of 'Knowledge, Application, Analysis and Evaluation' at GCSE Business Studies. The resources are designed to be fun and engaging, and meet a range of learning styles. Student notes to accompany each presentation with space for activities to be recorded are included. Although this resource supports Edexcel 5BS03, I deliver it in year 10 to be able to get my classes writing effectively early. As such you may want to tweak the subject of questions to suit. Each resource can be edited fully to meet a groups needs, and I have included notes at the foot of each resource to explain how they are intended to be used, including how to run the range of activities each is reinforced with. I would recommend reading the notes at the bottom of each slide beforehand to know when sugar paper, scissors glue and cut-ups need to be pre-prepared! The two presentations (33 slides) cover approximately three hours of learning; I delivered the assessment objectives PowerPoint over two one hour lessons. The model answer provided is based on a case study in the 'Unit 1: Introduction to Business' book - ISBN 978-1-8469-0496-7.

Note that, although these lessons are written specifically for Word 2016, the content is generic and pretty much applies to all subsequent versions of Word. Word processing is a key skill in many walks of life, both business and personal, and Microsoft Word dominates the market.

The course comprises 4 one-hour lessons, using a stimulating PowerPoint presentation to introduce each lesson, and includes supporting worksheets to accompany the lessons. A first look at word processing and Microsoft Word (including tips on selecting text, navigating, deleting text and using the Clipboard) Formatting Fonts and Paragraphs Inserting and formatting images Free exploration Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, and a BIG BIG thanks for looking (as a full time practising teacher, I KNOW how time consuming this process can be). ALL my postings are FULLY “classroom-tested” - before I publish, my lessons are tested by both myself and colleagues, rigorously evaluated and discussed, and continually updated to maximise their effectiveness. But there is always the possibility of error and room for improvement, so do please provide constructive feedback.
