This bundle contains a complete series of workbooks made for GCSE Sociology students. It includes the four new workbooks made for each of the four main sections of the course (Family, Education, Crime & Deviance, and Social Stratification) and, as a bonus resource, my very popular Research Methods workbook.
The workbooks were designed for the AQA specification and adapted for the WJEC/EDUQAS specification (two versions of each workbook are included in this resource pack).
Each of the four main workbooks contains the following:
Student Progress-Check Tasks
A Personal Learning Checklist
Activity 1 - Mind-Map Overview Task
Activity 2 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 3 - Key-Work Match & Listing Tasks
Activity 4 - Online Research Tasks
Activity 5 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 6 - Bare-bones Essay Planning Task
Activity 7 - Creative Tasks (Posters & Poetry)
Activity 8 - Investigate & Report (Newspaper Article Task)
Activity 9 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 10 - Essay-Planning Activity
Activity 11- Essay Assessment
Extension Tasks (Many!)
Each contains 25+ sides of activities and is designed to be printed as a double-sided workbook. The files are in editable Word (.doc) format in-case you wish to make any amendments (e.g. changing the exam questions).
The workbooks are not designed to be a comprehensive: they each include selected readings and cover some (not all) of the topics listed in the specification.
If you are happy with your purchase and leave a 5* rating for this TES bundle, please email me ( godwin86@gmail.com ) and I will send you a FREE ‘Revision Strategy Battle Planner’ which will be useful for your Year 11 students.

A professionally designed Christmas quiz for Religious Studies teachers to use with their students, featuring 60 well-presented questions and an answer sheet.
If you like it: leave a 5* rating and email us (godwin86@gmail.com) and we’ll send you a beautiful Christmas Crossword worksheet for free!
The quiz also includes a word-search (on screen) and a couple of anagram rounds.
Fifty of the questions are Christmas-related and not connected to a specific school-subject: the final ten are subject specific and deal either with GCSE terminology, KS4 exam specification contents, or “fun facts”.
Differentiation can easily be achieved by changing quiz group sizes. The quiz is suitable for KS3-5.
Completing and peer-marking the 60-question quiz should take the best part of a 1-hour lesson.
The resource is fully editable.

Not for re-distribution.
The principles of self-regulated learning can be applied to student behaviour: this set of ten (colour & double-sided) printable worksheets fosters student reflection during detentions and other behavioural interventions.
They’re ideal for:
Detentions resulting from disruptive classroom conduct
Students who have been sent to members of the leadership team for supervision
Behavioural interventions with students who have persistent issues with behaviour
Each worksheet includes a variety of reflection tasks and concludes with a space allowing for targets for improvements to be set by the student and reviewed by the teacher or supervisor in charge of their behavioural intervention.
Note: we have included both US & UK English spelling versions in this download due to the number of times the word ‘Behaviour’/‘Behavior’ is used! We hope this will be useful for our nternational customers, members and supporters.

KS3 RE Units
Copyright Adam Godwin (2018)
This printable textbook provides a systematic explanation for every point mentioned in the specification.
In the next section It then provides arguments for and against each point and, where appropriate, summarises arguments using premises and conclusions.
The file is a .doc Word file, 140 pages in length, 72000 words.
It is designed to be a comprehensive reader for AQA Philosophy students.
This should be viewed as a printable information book: it does not include learning activities or images. It aims to provide the necessary information as effectively and comprehensively as possible.
Note: it does not cover the Applied Ethics section which, if this resource succeeds, will be covered in a later volume.
A 17-page colour A4 workbook designed for the Sociological Research Methods component of the AQA GCSE Sociology course.
The work book features tasks that ask students to generate hypotheses and then plan four separate sociological studies: outlining their methods, sampling, secondary sources and justifications for their choices. It also includes a PLC for this section of the course.
This workbook is an ideal homework for students to get on with whilst covering the Research Methods unit. It is relevant to any GCSE Sociology teacher. It can also be used as the focal point of lessons.
Check out our 10-lesson unit for this section f the course! :)
This bundle contains ten fully resourced and professionally designed KS4 Religious Studies lessons as well as additional teaching materials for GCSE Religious Studies: Thematic Studies.
It has been created for the latest AQA GCSE Religious Studies Specification and covers the thematic study ‘Religion, Peace & Conflict’ (Theme D) and focuses on Christian teachings. It should be useful to all GCSE Religious Studies teachers: even if using other specifications.
The download includes 10 Lessons, though some can be used over two 1-hour periods:
Introduction
Central Debates
The Causes of War
Christianity, Pacifism & Peaceful Protest
Christian Teachings About War & Peace
Nuclear Weapons & Weapons of Mass Destruction
ICT Suite Lesson
Religious Responses to War
Assessment Lesson
Unit Overview (Video-Learning Worksheet Lesson)
The bundle also includes:
-A Personal Learning Checklist (PLC) for this unit
-A collection of older files, relevant to this topic, from my teacher career
-A DIRT/AfL Worksheet
-The Christian Ethical Debate Generator
For most RE teachers this download includes everything you need to teach this thematic study, not including the comparative religion aspect of the thematic study.
Lessons about comparative religious traditions will be released at a later date as “bolt-ons” to this 10-lesson unit.
My ambition was to make the best available thematic studies resources on Tes, so I hope you like it!
If you are pleased with this bundle, please leave a review so that other RE teachers know that it is worth getting :)

A3 DIRT Worksheet (15+ 5-star ratings!)
KS3 RE Units
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification.
Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme.
In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers.
This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also!
There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification.
BONUS RESOURCES:
Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4)
Please note:
These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them.

Really effective way of >making students think!
This is a great metacognition activity to use at the end of your lessons! Download it for free and use it today!
Description:
This straightforward activity should be run at the end of a lesson: it’s a quick activity that encourages students to reflect on metacognitive factors that have helped them to learn or presented obstacles to learning. Students are presented with a question and move around the room to show their response, providing an opportunity for further metacognitive questioning from the teacher.
How To Use:
Simply run the PowerPoint Show at the end of your lesson (when there are 5-10 minutes remaining)
Each slide presents your class with four options: they must move to different corners of the room to indicate their answer!
Once students have moved: it is an ideal opportunity to ask questions that lead them towards insight surrounding their own learning and how they can increase their learning-power in future lessons.
What’s Included:
A PowerPoint Show (.ppsx)
