Following a similar format to last week's AS 'World of Economics', this free resource available from the download link below is a rapid 10 minute starter for the first class with your returning A2 students.Entitled 'Whilst you were away', the resource shows a montage of images. Each image also has a question and all relate to news stories from around the world during the months of July and August 2014. The montage remains on screen with a 3 minute timer fading away at the bottom of the screen - ask your students (individually or in small teams) to answer all 9 questions in the 3 minutes available.Then go through the answers one at a time - there is an individual slide showing the answer to each question plus a supplementary question for each image to stimulate discussion about how the news stories impact on economics. This is a Powerpoint resource so feel free to edit the questions as you see fit.Click here to download the resource
