This is a full lesson that includes all the activities, a lesson plan, differentiated material (both for weaker and stronger students) and helps go through content of theories of family in the context of an essay question. There’s plenty of assessment for learning throughout. This lesson was successfully deployed several times as a 20min mini teach (this is reflected in the lesson plan) but has been planned and produced as an entire lesson. The theories included are New Right, Feminism, Functionalism and Marxism. There’s information sheets and structured worksheets for note taking and there is also a university journal for gifted and talented students relevant to the material. This lesson is fully adaptable to fit all styles of teaching and can be scaled down for GCSE also. Please be sure to comment your opinion on the lesson.

This is a full lesson which comes with complete powerpoint (timings included), differentiated sociologist chart, and tasks throughout to maintain engagement. It has all information on slides for those that also like to teach from the front - print slides out as a handout to give as core notes for pupils. All tasks are fully adaptable to ability in class and timings can be flexible with this lesson. The lesson covers Hervieu-Leger (2000; 2006) and Lyon (2000) and gives room for more able students to identify wider studies which can support or negate these theories at the same time as weaker students being able to go in depth with the main studies required from the topic. The lesson plan is incorporated into the PowerPoint. **N.B: The background to the slides, for some reason, does not upload with the transparency setting it was created with - to change this, right click on one of the slides and change the settings to the background**
