A guided tour of the classroom....

As part of a unit on databases, my S2 Administration class had to create a fictional criminal and use Microsoft Word to create a story about their past.





A couple of photos showing the excellent work my classes have produced over the last year.


My S2 Administration class have been working through an intergrated project called Managing The Band which has tested their abilities on various different software packages and the use of various office equipment. Some of the best work was put on the wall display.


Pupils were encouraged to bring in newspaper headlines about business related stories and they were put up on the Business in the News wall display.

To encourage my Administration classes to solve their own practical problems, I put up a Practical Skills Help Board. This has templates of things like letters, itineraries, memos, reports etc. and as well as helping each other, pupils were encouraged to go to this for help.


My S3 Business Management class were split into 4 groups and given the task of researching, developing and delivering a Powerpoint Presentation on an aspect of the Marketing Mix - Price, Product, Promotion or Place. The slides used were printed off and put on this wall display.



During the Marketing part of the Business Management unit course, I brought in a variety of adverts which we were able to refer to when discussing methods of advertising and promotion e.g. target groups etc.



My S2 Business Management class each had to research a county in the European Union and together they created this wall display




At the end of the various units, pupils were given the task of creating glossary wall displays containing important words from the unit they had just studied.



To show that Business Studies is not just a subject that allows you to become a Business Studies teacher, I put this wall display up to show all the varied and interesting jobs available to people studying Business Management, Accounts or Administration.
