Included in this resource pack is a complete teaching resource for the CIE A2 Business topic "6.1 External influences on business activity" , which is also suitable for many other examination boards. This resource is created using Microsoft Powerpoint, but is not intended for a PowerPoint style lesson. Instead, these resources are fully customisable workbooks that have been created in PowerPoint to utilise its flexibility and simplicity. When I teach with these resources I often write directly on these PowerPoints with my stylus. My students either use these resources as printed workbooks, or as electronic workbooks, depending on their preference.

I use this sheet with my groups every year to prepare them for the caclulation style questions within the A Level Examination. I have colour-coded the questions in terms of their difficulty, allowing for natural differentiation. The A3 document is fully editable, in .docx format. I have currently not included a mark scheme with this document, as I tend to modify and ammend it often and would recommend working through these questions yourself before rolling it out with a group. Please let me know how it goes with your group! J

This pack includes fully editable versions of: * An A3 worksheet for students to make calculations and write a 16 mark question. A presentation which contains all answers. I’m using this in an observation lesson next term, so please let me know how this works for you!

This resource bundle includes: * An A3 activity sheet * A high definition PowerPoint presentation.

This resource is an A3 sheet that can be used to teach Porters 5 Forces to AS/A2 students.

This bundle includes content notes and an attached task on "External Shocks" and the impact they have upon Demand and Supply. This is suitable for AS level and an able GCSE group. The "External Shock" being investigated is the recent terrorist action in Brussels, Belgium.

An introductory lesson to Motivation and the Hierarchy of needs. Works best as a 3 student group task, but can also be completed independently. Students have an A3 sheet to work from, and four "Rounds" where the scenario or story line changes, asking them to consider how they would motivate their band of survivors. Each of these stages reflect a tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs. Optional extra: If you choose to complete this activity in teams, you can turn this into a "Survival of the Fittest" style competition where teams are rewarded for good teamwork and punished for negativity, poor work ethic and poor team working skills. The "Zombie-Cards" file has premade cards that can be used for this purpose.

This worksheet looks at the "Product" element of the Marketing Mix and focuses on Product Failures, Product Design and the Product Life-cycle, using a McDonald's theme.

If students do not have internet access, this could be completed as a homework activity.

In this pack are three worksheets which cover the "Price" element of the Marketing Mix. Elements covered by these worksheets include; Demand, Price Skimming, Price Penetration, Cost-Plus Pricing, Competitive Pricing and Loss Leader pricing. Each of these sheets also feature a number activities which require research and/or written answers.
