Personal life approach linking activity

This worksheet is designed to help students see how the personal life approach could be used when answering questions about other topics within the Families and Households unit of AQA’s A Level Sociology. There is a list of 11 ideas from the personal life approach and a list of other topics within the unit for students to make links to. An example has been done to illustrate a possible link. (The example shows how people viewing pets as part of their family could be related to changing patterns of childbearing. This activity could prove helpful for revision purposes to show how the personal life perspective could be used in ten mark questions on almost anything, or to evaluate/explain aspects of other topics.
