Ask learners to prepare a large poster presentation which includes at least one example of:

bank statement

budget variance report – to show positive and negative budget variance and how this was calculated

delivery note

goods received note

payslip – including deductions, gross and net pay

receipt

remittance advice

request for repair form.
Learners should find a good example of each document, print it out and stick it onto a sheet of A4 and then annotate all the various elements of that document to show their understanding – for example, business name and address, customer name and address, account number etc. Make sure that learners include any explanation of how any calculations were made, for example budget variances and deductions from gross pay to get net pay. Learners should put all documents onto a large display. Alternatively this whole activity could be produced electronically.
There are many examples on the internet of these forms, which can be found using Google or any other search engine. The finished posters would make good wall displays for any learning environment. The activity will allow learners to find out about documents that they will encounter in later life, in a more practical way than just being told about them.
