GCSE exams require exam technique skills and sound subject knowledge and the only way to develop both is to think of strategies that support and underpin both.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Finding a way to recap a topic that suits you is key. If your a visual and or auditory learner that might be listening to a podcast or YouTube video and I have a link of suggestions below.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Testing your subject knowledge is best done with past paper exam questions and then looking at the mark scheme to see how you got on. That way tends to be the best way to embed the exam technique as well as remind you of stuff you didn't know or maybe forgot. Seneca Learning can also provide this in a lesser degree and is quicker at providing instant feedback and hitting you with similar questions until you get them right.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I have attached a PowerPoint <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JmZBGpWIgQU6RaTFrPpHiS8loYudTZ5Q/view?usp=sharing">here</a> of exam-specific activities that we have discussed in the parent consultation evening so that will be time well spent looking at the demands of the different questions and the importance of including CONTEXT in your answers. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Anyway here is a link of resources that are free:</span></p><p><a href="http://www.doingbusinesswithmrt.com/p/reading-list.html">Podcasts</a></p><p><u>Videos</u></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnVHZKYx1vWVnhRjJqJbNdQ">Two Teachers</a> <span style="font-family: arial;">have established themselves well over the last 12 months </span></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE9uWsZ2C3NYzzKRIo_mntw/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=26">BizCon</a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Tutor2U are also doing live sessions with the one delivered at 3pm today on Marketing available <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA_xlFX1Nj0&feature=youtu.be">here</a></span></p><p><a href="https://app.senecalearning.com/dashboard/courses/add?Price=Free&Age+Group=GCSE&Subject=Business&text=GCSE+Edexcel">Seneca Learning </a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214111656937168267.post-17890738119019967992020-11-17T13:46:00.003-08:002020-11-17T13:46:40.961-08:00Business Challenge Week 2020<p><span style="font-family: arial;"> Dear candidates</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Your chance to launch your own budget airline and pitch your ideas as if you were a candidate on The Apprentice.</span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><a href="https://vimeo.com/367698303"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">The Apprentice Challenge from Sir Alan Sugar</span></a><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1j_xiQqEKfOFpp7RBK1Nl8kzjaw88HZWLRV8b_lrxNO0/edit?usp=sharing">The Success Criteria</a></span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sFMuarGY_zniI1-FmiURTGyaixXiUr0REElUQk3g2W4/edit?usp=sharing"><br /></a></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sFMuarGY_zniI1-FmiURTGyaixXiUr0REElUQk3g2W4/edit?usp=sharing">Storyboard and design booklet</a></span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Can you:</span><br /><br /></span><ul><li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Identify a target market, </span></li><li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Create a brand name and logo that will compete for success, </span></li><li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Plan a storyboard for your TV advert, </span></li><li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Design the steward and stewardess uniform and </span></li><li><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-family: arial;">Deliver a pitch of your ideas.</span></li></ul><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">We look forward to announcing and rewarding the top three</span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Good luck and enjoy</span><br /><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /></span><span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Mr Mumby </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2214111656937168267.post-37998529587092152202020-11-04T07:41:00.001-08:002020-11-05T03:38:17.073-08:00Ten steps to success on the Unit 2 Finance Exam <span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif">Dear Year 11</span><br />

Its early days but this collective of bright minds might just break the music mould and create an outlet of support that's affordable, sustainable and driven by passion and skill. Below is one of the first artists, Anika, that they are looking to promote and launch. Great acoustics, lighting and atmosphere from this unplugged and talented pair in the intimate live lounge in Torquay.<br />
<br />
Good luck Kal, Anica, Badger and Sebastian I think you have something special here!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That said my advice to you is<strong> "put yourself in the scenario"</strong> try to think about what you would do if you walked into the example and actually had to think like the business owner in the case study you are given. The sooner you think like the owner the sooner you will start thinking like a business person and it might not come naturally at first but you will start to develop your skills set very quickly and this is a skill set that employers are crying out for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Anyway, today's lesson covered Learning Aim A</u> - Understanding the costs involved in business and how businesses make a profit. Although we didn't really get to the importance of profit you do need to know what your costs are before you can start thinking about making a profit and selling anything!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>Lesson 1 - Topic A.1 Understand the costs involved in business</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After today's lesson you should:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Understand and identify the costs of a business including:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">startup costs - the cost incurred when setting up a business</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">operating (running) costs - the costs incurred in the day to day running of a business</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial";"><strong>We will start next lesson by testing you on this!</strong></span></li>
