I have added a couple of PPTs as well, but these don’t cover all the methods.
*methods in context is not included in the booklet
*there are some pages with headings and space for notes, the students use information Factsheets to complete those, but am unable to attach as they are paid for items.
*Due to lockdown and then no longer teaching this course, this resource pack contains the first four topic areas, but is incomplete as I never made it to the end! Mising from the pack is Power & Authority and Power & Relationships. Some of that content had been embedded in the first four topics, but please note there are not resources for the final two sections.

This is a resource pack for the first few lessons of AQA GCSE Sociology (new specification) to introduce students to new concepts and ideas, along with what to expect in the course. This pack usually takes me just a couple of lessons to deliver as part of a Year 10 induction week.
It includes:
Teacher booklet
Student booklets
PPTs
Activities
This can be adapted for other GCSE Sociology specifications, and can also be used or adapted if you have ‘taster’ lessons with Y9 into Y10 when they are picking their GCSE choices (or Y11 into Y12 if you offer GCSE at Sixth form).
(You could also probably scale this up for Y12 A Level Sociology if you wanted to adapt the content and add the extra depth to cover the A Level standard).
*If you are teaching Sociology, I have other resources available for the GCSE, and AQA & OCR A Level topic areas. These are full topic packs that are ‘ready to go’, so are especially helpful for anyone who is a PGCE student or NQT.
