This is one lesson based on the new GCSE Eduqas exam specification. The lesson uses interactive note book activities, so students will need scissors, glue and different coloured pens during your class. The Power Point contains a starter, plenary, x2 four mark exam questions with model answers, sentence starters and an exam criteria over view. There are differentiated activities embedded within the slides and progress checks. Some slides have extra information, guidance and help in the notes.

This is a full lesson introducing the concept of socialisation with a focus on primary socialisation and the family. The lesson aims to be interactive with lots of thinking activities which encourage independent learning. One slide makes reference to the TV show Super Nanny. A clip from the TV show has been included, but you could use other episodes. You will find sample exam questions with model answers embedded with in the slides. The exam questions are based on the GCSE Eduqas Specification. However, other exam boards can use the slides, but you will need to change questions accordingly. Progress checking questions are embedded throughout. Answers to the questions can be found within the notes. You will need scissors, glue, mini wipe boards, pens and access to the internet to deliver this lesson.

This resource will take up a whole lesson. The aim is to introduce students to essay technique using the PEEL model and AO skills. It's an easy to use step by step guide. By the end of the session, students should have a deeper understanding of the exam criteria and feel more confident structuring and independently writing a 15 mark answer. There is a PDF and word document attached. The word document is there for you to edit as you wish. You may prefer to use a different exam question to the one suggested. There is also a list of sample exam questions to consider and use in your lessons. One list is a word document. This is for you to add to the list as you wish.

This resource is specific to the Eduqas A Level Sociology exam specification. The worksheet includes a guide on how to answer 5 mark exam questions with sentence starters. There are two activities for students to complete independently and or with a partner. You will find 4 answers to a 5 mark exam question and students are expected to grade each written response. Students must also write their own answer to the exam question. On the final page you will find some teacher guidance to marking the model answers.

This resource is a PowerPoint with several interactive tasks embedded within the slides. The lesson is aimed at year 9 GCSE Sociology students with a focus on ‘culture’ and ‘norms’. The lesson was made with the Eduqas exam board in mind, however it does fit other GCSE course- not slide 13 (Eduqas exam questions). For this lesson, you will need scissors, glue, dictionaries, mini wipe-boards and pens. For the plenary you may prefer to use buzzers if you have them. This will add a little competition to the end of your lesson- which is always good fun! You may wish to print off slide 7 for students to stick in their exercise books. On slide 9, there is an activity that involves watching a clip from Idiot Abroad (Season 1, Episode 4 Mexico). There is a link to an uncensored clip (a few swear words) to show Easter Sunday Fireworks in Mexico. Any episode of Idiot Abroad can be used to complete the task on slide 9. Activities are differentiated with ‘You must, You should and You could’. Slide 13 has sample multiple choice exam questions (like section one on the Eduqas paper).

This resource is a scaffolding guide to help students structure and answer the 30 mark exam question. The resource has hints, tips and sentence starters. My students used this template to help them with revision for the very first 2017 examination. ALL students scored between 23 and 29 out of 30 on this question. Not bad for the first cohort.

As Eduqas teachers are aware, it's pretty difficult to cover and teach all areas of life during lesson time. Last year, I covered the main areas of life (Education and Work) and encouraged students to research the other areas independently. The Power Point attached instructs and encourages students to research alternative areas of life using resources available to them. You can do this in lesson time, but I would recommend setting this as homework. My students were given interactive templates to help them on their way. See attached.

This is an introductory lesson to GCSE Sociology. It is aimed at year 9 and encourages students to think about what Sociology includes and why sociologists study. I teach the Eduqas course, so there are references to Eduqas within the slides. However, you can adapt this to fir your own exam board criteria.

This lesson is aimed at the GCSE Eduqas course but can be adapted and used with AQA. It is interactive and encourages students to reflect on their own identity. Students will need to bring to school their own childhood photos to participate in the main activity. You will also need magazines (perhaps catalogues with images of toys in), scissors and glue. The lesson will introduce students to Oakley's key terms: Verbal appellation, Manipulation, Different Activities and canalisation.

This lesson is aimed at GCSE Eduqas Sociology. The content relates to Module 1- Key concepts. The lesson focuses on culture and differences within the UK and across the world.

This lesson introduces students to Functionalist perspectives on the Family. The Power Point relates to the Eduqas exam paper, with reference to some exam questions on the final slide. However this resource can be used and adapted to fit other exam boards such as AQA. The resource also includes several activities including the use of interactive note books. Students will need scissors, glue, coloured pens and also mini wipe boards to complete the activities. Progress check answers can be found in the notes.

Puzzle and quiz aimed at A Level Sociology students studying research methods. The material compliments all major exam boards including AQA, OCR, WJEC and Eduqas. Both resources can be used as a starter, plenary, filler and or homework activity. High ability GCSE Sociology students can complete the activities as an extension.
