Hi recently retired from full time teaching. I spent the last 9 years in sixth form teaching (psychology and sociology) with a little PHSCE and KS3 science on the side. before that I worked as a behaviour support consultant for 8 years in all key stages and nursery. I have led inset on all aspects of behaviour management. I have also worked in PRU and EBD settings and have and still do individual mentoring. As someone with mild Asperger's I am particularly interested in all aspects of ASD.

How to write a basic long sociological essays

Many lower ability A level students get "pushed" toward sociology because there is a perception in some quarters at least, that it is an easy subject.It is not, especially if literacy is a weakness. I have used this presentation along with some work sheets I developed to help weaker students grasp two essential elements of the sociological writing: 1. presenting competing arguments 2. writing in an analytical/ detached style

Role Play Game to Introduce Marxism in Sociology

Role Play Game to Introduce Marxism in Sociology

(0)
I have run this game each year for about 7 years. I developed it because I found that most sixth form students are victims of “false class consciousness” and need a vivid understanding ofa different perspective not given to them by the media. They believe meritocracy without evidence but won't approach Marxism with an open ming (I find) For this game you will need large amounts of stickle bricks or other construction blocks (ebay or car boot sales are a good source) copies of the role play cards and a large box of Heros or wrapped sweets of some kind). You will need to print out labels for The factory and shop. The aim of the game is to illustrate the role of the worker in the economy and what happens when they do not share in the wealth created by their labours. The PPT also contains some other optional slides to introduce Marxism which can stimulate discussion before or after the exercise.

The framework was not an original idea but the worked example is. This is a teacher written essay, written in the simplest, most straightforward style. It is not elegant or advanced, but good to illustrate a structure for those who have to learn how to write good essays. An examine essay requires two or more different perspectives given equal weight. It does not require one perspective which is evaluated. this is the title and introduction: Examine ways in which childhood can be said to be socially constructed Childhood, seen as a separate existence from adulthood has not always existed. Similarly ideas about childhood: its length, characteristics and how children are regarded vary from place to place. When a characteristic such as childhood varies between cultures and at different times it is said to be socially constructed. This essay will examine the ways in whether concepts of childhood are entirely socially constructed TIP: I give my students 4 coloured highlighters, one for point of one perspective , one for each subsequent perspective , one for correctly idetified theoriests and theroetical terms and one for concluding or summative commentary. we go through the essay comparing the colour patterns at the end. It is a great confidence booster for them

This is a resource I constructed for "weaker" A level students who had difficulty with theory it applies the theory to class. I used it during an intervention session where I went through each approach and then got the students to make a revision resource for each section . It does not contain many theorist names so is more suitable for the current AS exam rather than the A level. It could be printed out and given as revision cards for students.

I used to teach in a school where some very weak students ended up doing sociology. I developed this resource to explicitly teach then the differences in the answers expected at A level to achieve good marks/grades. This resource could also be used in training/mentoring teachers in the use of blooms questioning, which I found very useful. I used to write out questions and target them according to the student. This can be a useful discipline when teaching classes with widely differing abilities until you get used to them.

Introduction and overview of qualitative methods for Sociology

This is a lesson with activities to introduce qualitative methods. These is a lot of content in this so you may want to split into two. The basic content could also be adapted for psychology too. Students need to understand PERVERT for an exercise included here but it is fully explained in a slide you can use or print out as a "mat" for lessons

This is developed for sociology but with minor alterations could be used elsewhere in the curriculum. This resource could also be used in teacher training/mentoring on how to teach students how to write essays. It provides step by step instructions and has a task at the end. You need to provide your own exemplar essay or download one of mine to use with the tasks at beginning and possibly the end too
