7 files to help teach research methods. There are no powerpoints in this file. The file includes a worksheet on access (gatekeepers) where students have to come up with the gatekeeper for the situation. A worksheet where students are given ways in which values (bias) can enter research and they have to think of ways this could impact on their research. A double page activity sheet on positivism to highlight its scientific approach etc. A Twitter sheet for students to outline what each methodological perspective may tweet about when it comes to research #quantitative etc. A sampling activity where students think about the best sampling type for each piece of research. A blank tables for students to fill in about four approaches to methodology (positivist, interpretivist, realist and feminist) Another blank table for students to fill in about different types of observations.

Revision book for Understanding Social Structures (compulsory core 2). This is for the WJEC exam board. Can be used in conjunction with the WJEC GCSE Sociology book. Some activities and note taking sections for students to complete. There is also an exam tips section as well as a key terms section for students to fill in. I also have a revision book for Understanding Social Processes. No revision books exist for WJEC GCSE Sociology so I made this. Students have found this very useful.

As the title suggests. Statements about individualist or collectivist cultures for students to sort into two columns. Good way of getting them to understand the difference between the two. I use for GCSE Sociology (Family topic)

This is a simple overview of four different sociological theories (Functionalism, Feminism, Marxism and New Right) There is an activity to do on each in order to work out what each theory argues. There is also an empty string puppet for students to fill in about who controls society according to that theory and whether they see it as good or bad. There is also a key terms section to fill in. Students enjoy doing this and provides them with a basic overview of each of the theories. GCSE level and can be used for any exam board. My students found these extremely useful and many have them on their wall for revision. I would recomment blowing up to A3.

The file includes the following: Blank board games sheet. (publisher) Sociology themed game counters (publisher) Instructions for students to make the board game (powerpoint) Question cards templates for students to cut out. (word) Students enjoy making their own games. I give each group a topic (The family or crime and deviance for example) and get them to make a game based around this. Give each group scissors, glue, an A3 game board on card and the resources and they make it. It may take 2-3 lessons but well worth it. Students then get the opportunity to play theirs and others in the lesson after. Great way of students to check understanding of topics and turn the learning on its head. Students have to go through the book to formulate questions, Great for revision without them even realising it! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Can be used in any subject but the counters are specific to Sociology.

Students love doing this fun cartoon and stages match up. Hand drawn by myself to illustrate the stages of Cohen's Status Frustration. File comes with each of the 6 stages. Students have to put them in a flow diagram. Students can also add their own speech and thoughts to the bubbles on the pictures. (Correct order of the stages included as a picture). Can be used for GCSE or A Level. All exam boards use Cohen's Status Frustration in Crime and Deviance topic. I am looking at providing more of these cartoons to illustrate different theories. Let me know if there are any you would like. Please provide feedback if you like.

OCR A Level Sociology. Crime and Deviance revision sheet. Overview of theories, names, concepts etc. Took a long time to make! I also have one available for Sociology of the Family, see other resources. Please feel free to review and give feedback on how to improve. Students were extremely happy with this resource, probably more so than any other as it helped them visualise where theory relate to one another.

This sheet contains a huge number of names as a spider diagram, Laid out a students wanted, where each theorist falls and under which topic. Took an extremely long time to make!

A revision book for the first unit 'Understanding Social Processes' of the GCSE WJEC Sociology exam. Activities for students to work through in order to help them prepare for the exam. Exam help, activities etc. WJEC currently do not have a revision book so I have made my own. Please leave a review or feedback of how to improve. I also have a revision book for Understanding Social Structures available at: https://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/understanding-social-structures-revision-book-wjec-sociology-11044585
