GCSE Sociology 9-1 Specification This unit of work follows the Introduction unit. I use this as a quick intro to research methods, so that throughout the units I can embed/recall this information like in the exam. This is the same unit, as the bundle in my shop. I am putting it into 1 resource, so I can bundle the units together to save you money. Please review if you download

2 lessons from my introduction to Sociology unit. These two lessons concentrate on the basic knowledge of Functionalism, and introduce Emilie Durkheim and Talcott Parsons. This is therefore suitable to introduce students to these key thinkers, or as a revision lesson.

A lesson that looks at longitudinal studies with a focus on the series seven Up! Students read through a resource and consider why this study is useful before learning about what a longitudinal study is. There is the option to show them the documentary, with some comprehension style questions. The end activity in a knowledge retrieval quiz which is part of the scheme of work.

Attached are the learning journeys for the AQA Sociology GCSE whole course. I was asked to create these by a customer who had downloaded some of my lessons and wanted to use them for the whole course. These are printed and stuck into the students books at the start of each topic. You can edit and tweak these to suit your own course. They are great, not only at the start of the topic area, but provide students with a revision checklist. Students can cross out/highlight lesson areas when they have revised them. I will eventually add all of the units to accompany these learning journeys. Introduction to sociology, education and social stratification can be found in my shop. Introduction to Sociology Research Methods (mini unit) Paper 1- Families Paper 1- Education Paper 2- Social Stratification Paper 2- Crime & Deviance

A lesson that looks at ethical issues, covers experiments in light of what ethical issues they pose and why they are rarely used in Sociological research followed by a consolidation task in which students evaluate all of the research methods covered in the unit.
