This resource was made using the following TES contributors AMEIT - who wrote an A-Z of communication (the auther name on document was A Shahim) I used a powerpoint template kindly donated to TES? by K Constable- Good starter for As or Az communications - I have included the A-Z on the powerpoint so only one page needs printed - the powerpoint needs some love and for paper free schools why not show the grid and freeze the powerpoint and mark off manually

Second time of uploading -put wrong file on yesterday! Written with help from Sophie (Hewitt School) 25 mark test with mark scheme for peer marking

I have devised this case study and questions to test the first part of the unit. I have included a marking scheme for peer assessment. Case study could be used on its own or you could extract one of the questions- the essay questiion is looking at recruitment. I have written another two & a mock -to save the only two new past papers we have. Would like feedback on this before I upload the rest!

This was devised by me and Sophie from Hewett school in Norwich- We have completed unit 1 edexcel and wanted a way to go back over marketing - Kids are engaged. If you show the last but one young apprentice - we nicked the task from the 'Holland trip' Spreadsheet is a little complicated but works on setting a rrp and then calclates wholesale at 50% to cover VAT - that way if teams negotiate you can bring down wholesale price and reduce margin Feedback please!

Written for my induction/taster next week. 2 hours use word search as the starter then give out guide I use the Christian Aid trading game as the group activity Slides are mine EXCEPT - the why study economics which are Tutor 2 U - I believe! If I have used anyone else without crediting please let me know- I can credit or remove! feedback is always good

This activity I have prepared was adapted for a suggestion from Tutor 2 U which I picked up last year. I tend to work in cycles so It is time to use this great activity for KS4 and KS5. This time I have put it onto power point with a handy timer on it. You can use as a starter or a main activity – I have used it to look at market mapping, segments even suggestions for shops when looking at shopping centres.

Test for end of finace unit

Some questions I have set for students to complete over Easter in preperation for F292 mock and exam in June. I would appreciate feedback on resource

I am not sure who gave me the original to this - I have adapted it. I get one student up they pick a box – It should work for interactive if you have one (I do not) Click the box then the student asks the question! If they are stuck they can get someone up to help them They can then ask any student of their choice the next question – I do it boy/girl Hover over the underline and it goes back to start – I have not figured a way out of making the question disappear!

2 starters - both with news articles One considering a product for different segment (Ring tone) 1 considering communication Both hyperlinked to video

MRP I find difficult to teach - until I did this- Making burgers! I split group into teams, armed with photocopies of burgers, 1 pair of scissors, blue tack and attached to a wall a piece of flipchart with 4 grids (1 per month) and a team name. tracking sheet (on powerpoint) and graph paper at the end. After each round total counted and another worker counted. at end they can draw MRP and prove (hopefully) law of diminishing returns could be adapted to teach business productivity
