This bundle contains 20 lessons for the ‘Crime & Deviance’ section of the new GCSE Sociology specification. This bundle was updated in March 2020 so that all of the PowerPoints are in the standard format and, consequently, more easy to edit than before.
Whilst it is useful to any teacher of Sociology, it was designed for the new AQA Sociology GCSE specification (8192).
It is designed to be a self-contained, comprehensive and complete resource: everything a teacher/department need to teach the Crime & Deviance section of the course.
Each lesson comes in a .Zip file, This file contains:
-A detailed lesson plan: highlighting differentiation, AfL, key-words, SMSC and a timeline of learning activities (.pdf)
-A premium quality, editable, PowerPoint Presentation
-Homework
[-Most of the lessons include a worksheet (double-sided A4 or A3)]
We take considerable time making the highest quality lessons and we believe these are the best GCSE Sociology resources money can buy, positive reviews are greatly appreciated.

Complete units for GCSE Sociology can be downloaded here.
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimin material already provided. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

This bundle contains all five of our new exam wrappers (aka cognitive wrappers, assessment wrappers).
All of these exam wrappers are: A4, double-sided, colour, and editable. We have included both .doc and .pdf versions to aid with printing.
This bundle now also includes our zero-print ‘Virtual Assessment Wrapper’ which features fifty slides of student reflection activities for before and after assessments!
Exam wrappers foster metacognition in students (i.e. getting to think about how they learn best and what factors are influencing their academic performance) - use of exam wrappers are frequently cited by researchers as an example of effective metacognition in schools.
It is widely accepted that the use of exam wrappers is “best practice”, yet there are very few available online and those that exist are often for university students and not suitable for younger people. These wrappers are designed for students aged 14-18 (KS4 & KS5) - and are designed to be fast, fun, and engaging.
This download comprises all five of our exam wrappers, buying them in this bundle saves money and the variety of exam wrappers will help students to engage in a broader array of metacognitive reflection activities and help maintain engagement.
For your convenience, we have also included some of our other metacognition sample resources in this bundle.
