This is a complete opening lesson for FORENSIC psychology. The pack includes: Powerpoint Lesson plan Printable - Case study sheet 1 per group/table Homework sheet 2 x posters in A3 - word and PDF file options (as per thumbnail for resource 2 x posters in A3 - word and PDF file options (same as above but with descriptions for each issue) This lesson focuses on defining crime and the four main issues, it includes group work and class discussion and focuses on issue with an activity for each, and checks for learning throughout - it leads to homework which touches on future content, provokes thought and involves use of data handling (numerical). This is a comprehensive resource bundle to engage and stimulate students and provide an opening to the topic. It uses examples from current culture and encourages use of group work, class discussion and use of mobile devices as well as engaging activities. This lesson contains images that were available in the public domain, any articles used are referenced with a link on the page to the original materials. This lesson is entirely my own creation and more lessons in this range will be uploaded soon. There will be a bundle of the entire topic should anyone be interested once all lessons are uploaded.

This encompasses 2-3 lessons with opportunity for some of this to be done as homework, it includes review of methodology (quant vs qual) and what approaches are idiographic and nomothetic including examples. There are extensive writing opportunities which culminate at the end as the elements of a 16 mark essay (AQA). The handout referred to are actually the pages on the topic in the cat/dog books, which i cannot share here as i do not own them. The complete process will walk learners through both approaches, as well as how to evaluate them, it includes an example essay plan, room for them to create their own as well as 2 example 8 mark essays that can be fused together with 2 additional paragraphs to make a 16 mark essay - these 2 essays allow for close consideration and development of understanding of each approach. There are also some examples and match up exercises to test knowledge - and the links to an online website (which i do not own or did not create) is attached which is useful to use for revision. I have also attached at the end some video recommendations for students or teachers to use as part of learning or as consolidation of learning. NOTE THE FONT I USED IN THIS POWERPOINT AND WORKBOOK IS THE HAND, THIS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ON ALL VERSIONS OF POWERPOINT AND WORD SO YOU MAY NEED TO RESIZE THINGS IF YOU ARE USING A DIFFERENT FONT. NOTE THE GAPS IN THE WORKBOOK THAT REFER TO A HANDOUT ARE IN REFERENCE TO USING TEXTBOOKS - THE ONE USED PRIMARILY FOR THIS IS THE CAT DOG BOOK DOUBLE SPREADS.

This workbook covers the AS or first half of topics up to and including fight or flight response. The pages are numbered for easy class reference and powerpoints will be added soon - there are engaging activities and pages to record lesson notes, presented in an easy to engage with and understand way. I do not own the rights to some of the images in the book and some of the activities were property of my mentor which she has given me permission to use in my version of this workbook. However, the majority of this workbook is mine and was created by myself.

This resource is for AQA Psychology specification. This resource is best printed in A3. They are double sided resource sheets which provide essay points and all relevant information for all issues and debates And include a 16-mark essay plan to help students prepare for exams. These work well in conjunction with the cat/dog books but also can be used as standalones. They include examples for year 12 and year 13 and include a diagram for each debate which shows where the approaches sit on each debate which is a useful tool.

This resource is a lesson to consolidate learning on validity and reliability with some hands on activities to get students actively thinking and putting in to practice valid and reliable measuring tools and considering their usefulness. This resource includes a powerpoint, handout with space for students to write notes on the activities and the activity workbook student and teacher version. All you need is scissors and rulers, possibly glue and some spare plain paper. Students seem to really enjoy and get engaged in this lesson and it really seems to help them work out the difference between the two concepts. There are two of the student workbook files, one labelled student file, another that is the teacher version, the only difference is that the photos for Lombroso for validity analysis have an additional page with the answers on should you not know who the people in the photographs are - . the only one not a criminal is 14, who is an actor from the Hills have eyes, the others are all criminals but some may not fit Lombrosos atavistic form theory which is where the discussion about validity gets really interesting.

This pack includes an A3 printable resource - which are great laminated! Can be used with dry erase pens or the tiles included . The image is a final resource, the tiles can be used as they are in the file, added to or changed as you see fit. The A4 worksheet is great for individual work - to be filled in with either Maslow’s hierarchy for later revision purposes in students notes/files, or used as a task for the student to think about what their own hierarchy would be. This promotes thought about the concept of Humanism. (A powerpoint lesson to accompany this will be up in the next few days and available separately or as part of a pack). This task allows students to think about Maslow’s ideas of what the hierarchy looks like and what their own would look like, and how the impact of simple things such as food and shelter do have an impact on our goals and what we can achieve. When used alongside a scenario as in the powerpoint this can be a powerful tool to promote discussion and deeper thought about the topic of humanism. This download also includes a Humanism handout giving an overview of the approach with evaluation points. The printable section has the tiles which you can add to or remove from, and includes some blank squares which are great to use if students want to add their own ideas in there to. Which can be added as an extension task. You can also add the tiles with the layer names on as an extension and discuss whether these might move if they re-arranged the tiles for themselves. Its a nice task, to look at how Maslow suggests it should look and then getting students to re-arrange it for what they think it might look like for them. *I do not own the copyright to the image of Maslow, this was sourced via creative commons on a search engine.
