They then attempt a new 4 mark question acting on their feedback.

A free lesson as this is a short lesson on Questionnaires. The remainder of the lesson is to prepare students for their mid-unit assessment (next lessons in the bundle.) Not suitable for everyone, but necessary for how our unit is planned.

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. The homework task refers to a knowledge organiser than can be bought in my store. However, the homework task can be completed without it. It’s just our departmental push on the use of them throughout the unit. Lesson 3- Looking at Primary, Secondary, Qual & Quan data. Considering how studies are peer reviewed and evaluated. Exam practice with model answer. Homework Task also prepared.
