This is a one page Powerpoint slide designed to be printed off as a full slide, laminated and kept on the desks in a classroom. It could also work as a display. It contains key terminology, explanations of command words, spelling guide, useful connectives for essay writing, golden rules etc. Predominantly for A-Level but could easily be used elsewhere. Also useful to give electronically to students.

We all know that Sampling is one of the most boring topics on any Sociology syllabus. Here are all the resources you’ll probably need to get through it at any post-16 course. It’s a dry topic but this covers all the bases I should think. All of it is pretty self-explanatory and tasks do lend themselves to linking to Methods in Context.

Sorting task just highlight in blue New Right policies, and in red the Social Democratic policies. Easy to use and then provoke discussion. Sheet to be filled in afterwards.

This is a task to indicate the difficulties of welfare spending in poorer countries. Print the sheet off and enlarge to A3. Give students a budget (i start off with 200 Billion) and let them spend. They have to spend incrementally, so if they want everything in one area it costs 55 Billion). After they have done this, slash the budget to 30 billion and do the same task.

These are some resources to develop knowledge and understanding of Life Chances. Specifically focused on IGCSE Sociology. The Life Chances cards should be used as a ranking activity.

Card sort task sorting out practical, ethical and theoretical factors. I ensure students have this in front of them at all times when going through the research methods.

Suitable for A Level Sociology across exam boards.

Presentation and some tasks on Marxist views on the Media. After connotave codes on the presentation I show some videos of Ads. John Lewis, McDonalds, Special K etc to emphasise the points.

A rather quite simple lesson teaching Postmodernist interpretations of the Media through Pokemon GO! Capitalise on the fad from a few years ago (Yr 13 students will no doubt remember it from earlier in the school). Get them to download it on their phones and tell them to go catch Pokemon for 15 minutes. See how they get on. Show some YouTube news clips about people getting into trouble, then read the texts and complete the table.

Just some straightforward tasks on Moral Panics. Predominantly for A-Level but would easily work for GCSE

Just some basic tasks for identities. Handy for revision, and weaker students.

“Sirrrrrrrr… can you do us a thing with all the case studies in?” Erm… no. You can do it yourself. Should be handy for revision. Probably can be adapted for other subjects.

A load of resources plus two essay plans suitable for Marriage an Divorce patterns. Suitable for AS Sociology primarily, although some could be used for GCSE or IGCSE. Essay plans are for CIE but could easily be adapted.

Presentation and a couple of tasks focusing getting students to consider the potential influences and impact of media owners. Focuses on Rupert Murdoch.

This is a relatively detailed essay plan for Sociology and Value Freedom.

HUGE revision booklet with notes and tasks for A2 Crime and Deviance. Suitable for AQA.

This is suitable for AQA A2 Sociology and CIE AS Sociology. The powerpoint is adapted from something I found and updated to include some mention of Trump and Theresa May and generally make it more accessible to A-Level students. Some knowledge from the teaching perspective about various things is assumed. This is predominantly designed to work in a UK school but should be accessible around the world.

I have adapted some resources here. Start the lesson by giving out the article and getting students to highlight specific examples of sexism in the family. The PPT has numerous images to start with to discuss. There is a sheet on the PPT which will need printing off, it's the one about how liberal feminists can achieve their aims. Some students might need directing on that. And then there's a worksheet to go through. Students will need knowledge of Murdocks 4 functions in order to complete.

Some resources for CIE Sociologg Global Development on Migration

Lots of stuff to do on representations of Gender in the Media
