This lesson looks at Young and Willmott’s Symmetrical Family theory (Key Thinkers). It is evaluated using Oakley and several other sociologists. Students then plan and answer a 12 mark essay question. I have then included the progress checkpoint (low-stakes, open book mini assessment) that follows in the next lesson.

This is a lesson that sets up 3 lessons (plus homework) for students to be grouped together to look at patterns, trends and contemporary issues within families. Students are given the question prompts and have to create a 10 minute powerpoint presentation and teaching activity. I give students 3 lessons with ICT facilities in 2 of them.

Planned for students to complete before their end of unit assessment. Also useful for revision/homework.

Please leave a review if you download! I will be creating one for each of the units. I have created a Keythinkers (only) work booklet for students. I am planning to issue this over the Easter Holidays. Students use Cornel note taking strategies to show their understanding of each of the Key texts. There are several exam questions relating to each of the key texts to develop students confidence in using these texts.

AQA New Specification 9-1- Lesson5 School Diversity. I used this lesson as an opportunity to get the students to work in groups to produce either a presentation on sugar paper, a power point presentation or a presentation using the Ipads. It worked really well and I actually got some great display material from it. Alternatively it’s great as a homework activity.

A computer based lesson. The worksheet can either be printed (preferable) or shared via a school sharing platform and students can edit it on microsoft word. Powerpoint to assist students doing their websearches.

A small assessment that encourages students to apply both skills and knowledge to the research methods unit.

2 lessons that cover the Functionalist approach to the nuclear family. Including Murdock and Parsons.
