NEW FOR 2022 This is my complete set of presentation resources and corresponding workbooks for teaching the AQA Microeconomics Year 1 content. Slides have starters, activities and all of the core information needed for the AQA course. There are 69 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.
