Sociology GCSE - Social Inequality
This is a full lesson on the beginning of the social inequality topic. It covers the sociological perspectives and also identifies social class classification scale. By the end of the lesson, students will understand these topics.
I personally used this for an observation lesson and was only required to add more stretch & challenge - to do this, I suggest using an A Level text book or a sociological journal on the topic area. Naturally, I couldn't include that in this lesson.
The full lesson, with worksheets and information sheets have been included.
