GCSE Business (9-1) OCR – Business 1 & Business 2 Connection Walls These two resources can be used as starters, plenaries, or any other time. It can be played in teams or individually (e.g. with mini-whiteboards for full engagement). Each ‘wall’ has 16 business terms – students must sort them into four groups (e.g. four characteristics of a Sole Trader). They are best used once all Business 1 and/or Business 2 topics have been taught. I have used them in my lessons, and even if students don’t correctly guess every connection – it has stimulated some excellent discussions which aid revision. It is primarily written for the OCR (9-1) course but could easily be used / adapted for other exam boards as it includes most of the usual content for GCSE Business. Both resources are in Microsoft PowerPoint format (so that you can amend them if you wish). The following resources are included: Business 1 Connection Wall – 8 walls, covering 32 topics. Business 2 Connection Wall – 6 walls, covering 24 topics. You are welcome to print / copy these resources for your students or put on your internal VLE – but please do not share with other institutions or put on an external website.

GCSE Business (9-1) OCR – Business 1 Assessment & Exam Technique Resource Pack Business Activity, Marketing & People (Human Resources) This pack of resources has been made to help students develop their exam technique for GCSE Business (9-1). These resources have been developed following the first set of exams in Summer 2019 – taking into account key points from the mark schemes & examiner reports. It is primarily written for the OCR (9-1) course, but could easily be used / adapted for other exam boards as it includes most of the usual content for these topics, and similar A01/A02/A03 Assessment Objectives. All resources are in Microsoft Word format (so that you can amend them if you wish). The following resources are included: 1. Multiple Choice tests: 3 x Multiple Choice tests with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also available on my Kahoot! site (Business_Cleeve) – turn the timer off, set an end date, and the tests will mark themselves! Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering multiple choice questions. 2. 2-3 point exam questions: 3 x assessments (totalling 10 points each) with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering 2-3 point questions, showing where A01/2/3 marks will be awarded. 3. 9 point exam questions: 3 x 9 point assessments with model answers (Business Activity, Marketing & People). Also includes a PowerPoint giving top tips for answering 9 point questions, showing where A01/2/3 marks will be awarded. 4. Business 1 Tracker Sheet: A top sheet to record all the grades from these assessments, including any fix-it work. This helps students to identify their strengths / weaknesses. 5. Revision Booklets: 3 x revision booklets for Business Activity, Marketing & People. This helps with basic A01 recall needed for all three assessment types above. #Please note: These Revision Booklets are already available in other resource packs I have on TES but I feel they complement the resources here too. For simplicity, I plan to grade these assessments by the mark that students get – i.e. 6 out of 9 = Grade 6. For info, the actual grade boundaries for 2019 were (average for Business 1 & Business 2 combined): 9 (74%), 8 (69%), 7 (65%), 6 (59%), 5 (54%), 4 (48%), 3 (36%), 2 (25%), 1 (14%). You are welcome to print / copy these resources for your students, or put on your internal VLE – but please do not share with other institutions or put on an external website.
