1. Lesson Arrival / Starter Activities<br />308546538100Arrival and Starter Activities<br />There is lots of variety within the faculty in this area! Here is alist of examples…<br />3235960405130Greeting and Registering at the door is vital! Establishing regular routines – such as collecting folders and books or setting out folders on tables (a subtle seating plan) at the start always helps!<br />Discussion about News Headlines or play a short video followed by discussion! We also use Newspapers and spend time reading them with students!<br />320040223520<br />1445895810895Use of faculty website www.ebitnow.com as a base for latest news articles and sharing of starter activities! <br />-19367501442085Competitions and Video based starters can be set from the website! Imagine 15 students with headphones on watching Dragons Den and making notes! <br />The Faculty also uses Q&A, Recaps and Revision Tests to help focus minds before getting into the main part of a lesson!<br />Wordsearch and other quizzes – We like to use a question at the top of the wordsearch and the answers contained within the search! You could then ask students to define the words using a dictionary or Google. Wordsearches can be differentiated by giving the students the words to find or not!<br />Latest Ideas we are testing…<br />Wipeout, 3-2-1 Challenge, 15 Word Challenge, Mini-Business Briefs, “A few of my favourite things”, Wedding Planner, Memory Challenge and more….<br />http://tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/business-studies/C157/<br />
