Business Studies Lesson ideas

Here you will find links to lessons I have taught that have made successful use of technology.  Each link will take you to a lesson plan created on our Frog VLE.  At the beginning of each lesson I use the BIG question as an engagement task - I post this on my teaching Blog (http://fhesbusiness.blogspot.com/) the night before and students know to go on at the beginning of every lesson to post their responses. Where I refer to black books I mean AQA Business Studies for GCSE by Neil Denby and David Hamman.  The Orbs glossaries are created using http://www.orbs.com/. Each student keeps their own online glossary of key business terms.  Most lessons also include one activity from the excellent businessstudiesonline
