(based on 43 reviews)

The resources I produce are intended to be universal and sustainable and can be picked up by a teacher at any level of experience. Each lesson has been tweaked over years of experience teaching at a sixth form college. Students have enjoyed the lessons and achieved amazing results. All of my powerpoints have a colour scheme, bold imagery and the same font throughout - because style is important! I hope that these resources will save you time and make teaching more fun.

Globalisation, Edexcel, A level. Full scheme of work with 19 powerpoints and supporting worksheets, study notes booklet, end of topic test, homework booklet, exam questions, mark schemes.

18 Resources
This is a full scheme of work for Globalisation that I have used for four years with great success. I have edited and improved it during that time. It includes model answers that I have written and some examples of student work. The slides are stimulating and the lessons cover a variety of skills including statistics. There is a strong focus on exam question practise and knowledge retention. The homework set for students will be based on revision for definitions quizzes (which you can run as a class competition) and also longer written answers to exam questions based on content which the students have learned in previous lessons. To support the students’ studies, I have referred to the Oxford and Hodder text books in some of the lessons, where students can find additional notes. Overall, most of the powerpoints are self contained and can be taught by a teacher at any level of experience and to students of varied ability.
