1. Study Design

Read the Study Design for Unit 1 carefully (electronic copy below - go to page 12). Create your own checklist of the Key Knowledge dot points so you can tick them off as you learn them.

Classes will begin next year with the expectation that you are familiar with the curriculum.

2. Summaries

Read Chapter 1 of the textbook (electronic copy below) and take notes on the key points that you learn. We will learn how to summarise effectively at the start of the year.

Complete the 'Developing a Glossary' activity at the end of the chapter. This involved matching each word with the correct definition (they are not in order!)

1. Business In the Media

Have a look through the news to inform yourself about news in business. What organisations are in the news, and why? Are they mostly large or small organisations?

Bring an article related to business in to discuss with the class.
