Psychology Paper 2 Practice Essay Questions

(0)
4 pages of practice essay questions for the new psychology paper 2 on approaches and biopsychology. Despite many students being able to recite key studies and theories by Freud, Rogers or Pavlov, without plenty of practice putting these theories into essays and linking up ideas, they often fail to reach the top marks. However this resource provides students with multiple essays for each topic in the specification and that could appear on their paper. It has a checklist encouraging them to plan the essay to pick the most relevant ideas, then write it and most importantly get it marked for feedback. When preparing for A Level Psychology some of the most crucial preparation is practice and this resource gives realistic, challenging and invaluable suggested questions. There are loads of 16 marker essay questions for every topic in the new specification meaning students can plan and practice a response to almost every possible question they could be asked since I spent a lot of time creating questions that cover all of the specification. Hope these pre made questions save you some time! Chat with me @astarlevels

Lakoff - Gender and Colour Test | Language and Gender AQA A Level

“It is a widely held belief that women have larger colour vocabularies than do men. For example, Robin Lakoff (1975) states this as a fact and suggests as an explanation the observation that in this society women spend much more of their time on colour-related activities such as choosing clothes than men do” Have you got time to leave my resource a review? Put this statement to the test with your class! Fun little activity where students try and name as many as the colours as they can, then check them off and see if on average boys or girls have larger colour vocabularies. Links to Lakoffs findings Opportunity to counter argue with the diversity approach Potential NEA investigation
