Students always get into a pickle knowing what industries and companies they need to know in their examinations. I have created a user friendly template that students can use in their A2 revision and through their course to ensure that they can easily access and gain the most of real life examples in their studies. This can be set as a prep at the end of a unit, part of a sub unit or as guided and structured revision for those who find it tricky. The worksheets also aid analysis and encourage students to compare where necessary. Hope you find them useful and I will continue to add to these in the coming year.
