Resources
*Dice (enough for each group work), scissors, and worksheets.
**Teacher’s instructions **
a) Give out the Reading Sheet: Interactionist Approach to Schizophrenia to each student. Allocate enough time for students to read this. Students must concentrate carefully on the information as there will be questions set on this.
b) Each group will need to have a set of questions cards. They will need to be cut out. There are 24 questions set. See Sheet: Question Cards.
c) Students need to be put into group and sat at a table with its pack of question cards in the middle, face down. Each person is allocated a number from 1 to 6. The students work in groups of six, however if numbers don’t allow for 6 have smaller groups with void numbers on the die (i.e. in a group of 4, if number 5 and 6 comes up, the die would have to be rolled again.
d) The group decided who goes first. The first player rolls the die and the person with the number shown picks up the first card and responds to the question. The questions are then taken out of the pack or placed back in the pack at the bottom. The second player throws the die. The person with the number shown picks up the card and responds so forth until it takes to get through the entire cards. The question can be set alphabetically or can be shuffled and answered in no particular order.
e) Scoring is optional. If the group feels the answer is correct, the play gets a point. If it is a wrong answer they score no points. The winner is the one who scores the most points

Book description
AQA Sociology BRILLIANT EXAM NOTES: Beliefs in Society: The Complete Revision and Study Book. This book covers the following topic for the AQA A-level sociology (Year 2): Beliefs in Society. Each section contains all the information that you will need for the AQA sociology exam. At the end of each section, we provide a comprehensive list of exam questions. These eBooks have been written by examiners and experienced teachers using their expertise to help students achieve the best possible grade in their exam. These exam notes have been carefully written using student friendly language and a layout that students will find easy to understand. Each topic has been broken down into exam notes which are more concise than general sociology text books but more comprehensive than standard revision guides. This content in this book follows the latest AQA sociology specification.
How to get an A DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH THE EVALUATION PART OF THE EXAM
Contrary to popular belief, learning and memorising lots of facts and theories will not get you a grade A or B in your exam. To achieve the highest grades possible, the exam requires you to be able to ‘analyse’ and ‘evaluate’ sociological knowledge, this does not mean jotting down a few brief criticisms at the end of your essay. The analysis and evaluation that you make, needs to be expanded upon and explained in an effective manner. With this in mind, we have written a lot of the evaluation points using the three-step-rule: identify, expand and conclude. We have done this for you in this book to demonstrate what a ‘developed’ evaluation point looks like. Please try and remember this technique and demonstrate it in your exam to achieve the highest grade possible.
LOTS OF EXAM QUESTIONS
We have given you lots of exam questions at the end of each exam note to practise. We have covered most of the different types of questions you may be asked for each topic both at AS and at A Level. If you are taking the A level course, it is a good way of testing and practising both your knowledge and examination skills. You may realise some of the questions require the same answers, but are worded differently, this was deliberate, just so you are familiar with the different way the questions could be worded.
