This is designed to help teach the Methods in Context Section for AQA A'level Paper 1. The PowerPoint introduces Methods in Context and the idea of Applying the method directly to the issue.

There is a peer marking activity - with the current markscheme. A list of past questions, both previous and current specifications. Plenty of practice for students and can be adapted into group work for students to attempt and feedback to rest of group, or complete as individual revision/exam technique practise.

Students typically discuss the need for power and control and who has it. This leads to some nice early ideas developing Marxism and Functionalism. Accompanying resources are attached. This is based on the lifeboat game. I have a 2 taster sessions (both uploaded).

I use these Tracking and Targeting sheets with my 6th Form Students. They transfer the comments that I have made on their work onto their tracking sheets. The idea is that the students and I can easily track what they need to do in order to move in. This can be kept at the front of their files, or in may case I keep these in an folder attached to the wall - easy for me and my students to access. I also ask them to look at their tracking sheet before they start the next essay/LAQ and write the target at the top of the work - to focus them!
