A double sided sheet meant for A3 - gap fills and then a series of varied tasks to complete. Independent revision if you want - also has a version with completed answers.
This is a multi-part, interactive lesson where students work to solve a crime. They are given a wide range of highly detailed clues, as well as revision questions that cover the entire topic with good depth. They are expected to work in groups to come to a conclusion justified by their psychological knowledge from the topic. Included is;
-An interactive powerpoint, complete with starter, instructions, detailed ‘clues’, click through conclusions
Teacher instructions
A set of over 44 in depth questions to work on in groups, clearly signposted for each section of the forensics topic and linked directly to the clues provided to solve the crime.
This is a great task for any ability level - lower ability will benefit from talking through answers in a group setting and covering a broad range of information, whilst high ability students will be stretched in their critical thinking and putting together information to form conclusions.
Updated for the 2021 Spec.
Applied psych Unit 1 Approaches and Assumptions learning aim A
My students asked for a summary powerpoint of each approach/assumptions for LAA. They found this useful.
This is for the new spec so there are no key studies, but at least two evaluation points for each approach.
No past questions but a range of activities which cover the whole social influence topic for OCR GCSE. Done over two lessons with three classes of Y10 - varying ability and it worked well.
Can either be worked through as a class or given as a free choice activities depending on how much guidance your class need.
For current spec (2021-)
Gender revision mat that includes the necessary key terms for students to fill in as revision. I get mine to make up a name and apply each term to that person to get them in the habit of applying concepts.
A revision powerpoint that works through all of the advance information listed for the OCR GCSE Psychology exam summer 2022, for Criminal Psychology topic. Useful either as independent work or to go through as a class.
A simple revision mat for students to fill out for revision for the aggression topic (new spec version). I make them write the notes in as if they’re applying it to a person to practice this skill for the exam.
i.e: “Joey’s aggression could be explained by hostile attribution bias. This means…”
A revision mat (or learning mat with textbooks if needed) for OCR GCSE Psychology - Development.
Covers the two key theories and the key studies (NOT the other small concepts in the topic). Some gap fill, application to 13 markers, and consolidation questions.
NO ANSWERS INCLUDED (but all gaps can be filled using the textbook and questions can be answered using the info completed)
