This bundle contains a complete series of workbooks made for GCSE Sociology students. It includes the four new workbooks made for each of the four main sections of the course (Family, Education, Crime & Deviance, and Social Stratification) and, as a bonus resource, my very popular Research Methods workbook.
The workbooks were designed for the AQA specification and adapted for the WJEC/EDUQAS specification (two versions of each workbook are included in this resource pack).
Each of the four main workbooks contains the following:
Student Progress-Check Tasks
A Personal Learning Checklist
Activity 1 - Mind-Map Overview Task
Activity 2 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 3 - Key-Work Match & Listing Tasks
Activity 4 - Online Research Tasks
Activity 5 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 6 - Bare-bones Essay Planning Task
Activity 7 - Creative Tasks (Posters & Poetry)
Activity 8 - Investigate & Report (Newspaper Article Task)
Activity 9 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 10 - Essay-Planning Activity
Activity 11- Essay Assessment
Extension Tasks (Many!)
Each contains 25+ sides of activities and is designed to be printed as a double-sided workbook. The files are in editable Word (.doc) format in-case you wish to make any amendments (e.g. changing the exam questions).
The workbooks are not designed to be a comprehensive: they each include selected readings and cover some (not all) of the topics listed in the specification.
If you are happy with your purchase and leave a 5* rating for this TES bundle, please email me ( godwin86@gmail.com ) and I will send you a FREE ‘Revision Strategy Battle Planner’ which will be useful for your Year 11 students.

A professionally designed Christmas quiz for Religious Studies teachers to use with their students, featuring 60 well-presented questions and an answer sheet.
If you like it: leave a 5* rating and email us (godwin86@gmail.com) and we’ll send you a beautiful Christmas Crossword worksheet for free!
The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds.
Fifty of the questions are Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject specific and deal either with GCSE terminology, KS4 exam specification contents, or “fun facts”.
Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5.
Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.
The resource is fully editable.

The Quiz PPT includes:
-A starter question for when students are entering the room

This printable textbook provides a systematic explanation for every point mentioned in the specification.
In the next section It then provides arguments for and against each point and, where appropriate, summarises arguments using premises and conclusions.
The file is a .doc Word file, 140 pages in length, 72000 words.
It is designed to be a comprehensive reader for AQA Philosophy students.
This should be viewed as a printable information book: it does not include learning activities or images. It aims to provide the necessary information as effectively and comprehensively as possible.
Note: it does not cover the Applied Ethics section which, if this resource succeeds, will be covered in a later volume.

A 17-page colour A4 workbook designed for the Sociological Research Methods component of the AQA GCSE Sociology course.
The work book features tasks that ask students to generate hypotheses and then plan four separate sociological studies: outlining their methods, sampling, secondary sources and justifications for their choices. It also includes a PLC for this section of the course.
This workbook is an ideal homework for students to get on with whilst covering the Research Methods unit. It is relevant to any GCSE Sociology teacher. It can also be used as the focal point of lessons.
Check out our 10-lesson unit for this section f the course! :)
This resource pack is the sum total of three years teaching OCR Philosophy & Ethics, and contains all resources necessary for the teaching of the philosophy half of the course: assuming your focus is on Christianity.
It contains over 200 files, covering both AS & A2.
Most of the resources have been made myself and cannot be found elsewhere. For copyright reasons I have not included the videos, instead I have included a file listing the relevant YouTube videos referred to in some lessons. Most topics have complete printable notes, most have PPTS or associated lessons, and Worksheets: some of the resources are offered as ‘works in progress’. A large variety of assessment materials and feedback tools have been included.
Certainly an excellent resource for new teachers of the subject, since this download contains everything I used whilst successfully teaching the subject myself.
Given the hundreds of hours that have gone into creating these resources I am proud to sell them at the very reasonable introductory price of £9.99
The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind.
The topic of this Philosophy Boxes download is “Multiculturalism & Celebrating Other Cultures”.
The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level.
The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats].
The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from.
The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes.
The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity.
The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227
A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86
You can also save money by purchasing lessons as bundles.
This package contains a 9 lesson course on Islam designed for mixed ability KS3 students.

For most teachers this will be the only resource needed for teaching about Islam at Key-stage 3 and may be of use to GCSE students in learning a comparative religion.

-Muslim Beliefs
-Prayer in Islam
-Islam & Terrorism
-Media Representation of Islam
