The pack contains:
8x PPTs, one each for:
G Generalisability quick revision

A Application quick revision

Functionalist explanations of crime and deviance
A Level AQA Sociology: Crime and Deviance
This resource can be used for classroom teaching or for a flipped independent learning module with the accompanying pre-recorded lesson videos that can be found on YouTube. This can also be used for cover lessons, student catch-up or student recap and revision.
This pack contains:
1x teacher answer booklets
1x teacher PPT
1x student workbook
4x activity answer sheets
3x video lessons on SocialScience911 on you tube
This is designed for the AQA specification, but much of the content is transferable to OCR A Level Sociology Crime and Deviance as well, you would need to change the specification reference on page two of the booklet to match OCR content.
Please note: an AQA teacher resource pack that contains all resources for the Crime and Deviance topic includes this booklet, there is no need to also download this one if you have the full set.
This contains assessments for AQA A Level Sociology (new specification) RESEARCH METHODS.
Each assessment is a 10 mark ‘Outline and explain’ style question, in total there are six assessments, complete with a generic marking grid.
The format can be easily adapted with changes to the question itself to expand the pack to cover all methods.
Included is a 10 mark Outline and explain two advantages of:
Covert observation
Documents
Questionnaires
and a 10 mark Outline and explain two disadvantages of:
Covert observation
Documents
Questionnaires
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.
