A clear, structured worksheet to help students develop strong chains of analysis in Edexcel IGCSE Business.
This resource supports students in moving beyond descriptive answers by guiding them through cause → effect → result → outcome, using exam-friendly sentence starters and connective language.
The worksheet explicitly scaffolds analytical writing using prompts such as “This means that…”, “As a result…”, “This leads to…”, alongside a word bank of analytical connectives to support clarity and precision in extended responses.
What’s included:
• A structured Chains of Analysis framework (cause, effect, result, outcome)
• Sentence starters aligned to Edexcel examiner expectations
• A connective word bank (therefore, consequently, this impacts, this influences)
• Multiple rows for students to build linked analytical points
• Clear visual layout suitable for print or digital use
Ideal for:
• Developing AO2 and AO3 skills
• Supporting Analyse, Justify, and Evaluate questions
• Intervention and exam technique lessons
• Independent practice and revision tasks
This resource is particularly effective for students who struggle to extend their reasoning or who write answers that stop at explanation rather than analysis. Suitable for Years 10–13 and international IGCSE and IAL cohorts.
