This is a whole lesson with a focus on Nature vs Nurture. The PowerPoint is aimed at the new Eduqas spec, and reference is made to the Eduqas book to complete the homework task. Other exam boards can use and adapt. The second part of the lesson relates to the 'Wild Child' documentary which can be accessed via YouTube. Links are embedded within the slides (usually the notes.) There is a sample exam question with hints and sentence starters along with a model answer. There are progress checks with sample questions to ask in the notes.

This Power Point is a bit of fun and a break from our everyday curriculum. This resource can be used with lower year groups as a marketing tool, or as part of Sociology club, or with GCSE year 9 groups. The slides aim to encourage students to think about the representation of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and the body in relation to Halloween. Additionally, there are a few slides which prompt students to focus on the agencies of socialisation and their role in teaching norms and values surrounding Halloween. The Power Point is not designed to be taught in one lesson. Instead, you can pick and select the specific areas you would like to teach and deliver (this includes gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity or body and mental health). Due to this, the lesson objectives are quite vague and generic. You may wish to change these to suit your requirements. There are tasks embedded within the slides with supporting notes. There are progress check slides and visual and discussion based activities. Content and activities are summarised below: Agencies of Socialisation: Discussion concerning the 'deviant' norms and values encouraged within AOS during Halloween. Interactive notebook activity. See Word Doc. Gender activity: Silly to 'sexy'. Female identity and the Halloween costumes. Students create age appropriate costumes aimed at an 8 year old. Sexuality: Discussion based on 'heteronormativity'. Race and ethnicity: Discussion based on racist Halloween costumes. Followed by a literacy based activity where students write a letter of complaint to a Costume Company. Body and mental health: Students focus on a contemporary debate and create a promotional campaign. There are many more topics we can explore as Sociologists, but this resource is a nice little starting point, encouraging higher thinking skills and the development of sociological awareness. AO2 skills are tested throughout. Have fun with it.

This Power-point concerns the topic 'Key Concepts and Processes of Cultural Transmission' , with a focus on ethnicity and the development of ethnic identities. The lesson follows the Eduqas specification and examines how Family, Education, Peer groups and Media influence and construct ethnic identities. There are two exam 4 mark exam questions embedded within the slides for students to try. Students have exam advice, sentence starters and model answers to help them write and develop their own answer. You will need mini wipe boards and board pens. Additionally students will need coloured pens to update their progress mind map check. You will find extra help, hints, links to useful websites in the notes that you may wish to use in your lesson.

Each morning, during registration, I like to freeze a notice slide on the interactive board. The slide will contain the date, important notices and or instructions, an activity, reminders, an inspirational quote and usually some trivia for students to read. This resource includes 17 slides to use during registration for October 2017. There are no slides during the half term week. Each editable slide states the date, a famous birthday, references either to a key event in history or a key awareness day and also a motivational, mindful or happiness quote. With one key notice slide, students can organise themselves accordingly during registration while you can carry on with the register, mentoring, emails etc.. Some slides include the birthdays of famous singers and artists. I like to play music from the artist during registration. This is something for you to consider. Each slide has space for you to type in your own notices, activity and reminders. I have additionally attached two sample slides from October 2016 that I used with my form. Hope you find it useful.

This resource contains one lesson with an interactive notebook based activity. Students will need scissors, glue and colouring pencils.

This is a full lesson introducing the concept of socialisation with a focus on primary socialisation and the family. The lesson aims to be interactive with lots of thinking activities which encourage independent learning. One slide makes reference to the TV show Super Nanny. A clip from the TV show has been included, but you could use other episodes. You will find sample exam questions with model answers embedded with in the slides. The exam questions are based on the GCSE Eduqas Specification. However, other exam boards can use the slides, but you will need to change questions accordingly. Progress checking questions are embedded throughout. Answers to the questions can be found within the notes. You will need scissors, glue, mini wipe boards, pens and access to the internet to deliver this lesson.

This resource will take up a whole lesson. The aim is to introduce students to essay technique using the PEEL model and AO skills. It's an easy to use step by step guide. By the end of the session, students should have a deeper understanding of the exam criteria and feel more confident structuring and independently writing a 15 mark answer. There is a PDF and word document attached. The word document is there for you to edit as you wish. You may prefer to use a different exam question to the one suggested. There is also a list of sample exam questions to consider and use in your lessons. One list is a word document. This is for you to add to the list as you wish.

This resource is specific to the Eduqas A Level Sociology exam specification. The worksheet includes a guide on how to answer 5 mark exam questions with sentence starters.

This resource is a PowerPoint with several interactive tasks embedded within the slides. The lesson is aimed at year 9 GCSE Sociology students with a focus on ‘culture’ and ‘norms’. The lesson was made with the Eduqas exam board in mind, however it does fit other GCSE course- not slide 13 (Eduqas exam questions). For this lesson, you will need scissors, glue, dictionaries, mini wipe-boards and pens. For the plenary you may prefer to use buzzers if you have them. This will add a little competition to the end of your lesson- which is always good fun! You may wish to print off slide 7 for students to stick in their exercise books. On slide 9, there is an activity that involves watching a clip from Idiot Abroad (Season 1, Episode 4 Mexico). There is a link to an uncensored clip (a few swear words) to show Easter Sunday Fireworks in Mexico. Any episode of Idiot Abroad can be used to complete the task on slide 9. Activities are differentiated with ‘You must, You should and You could’. Slide 13 has sample multiple choice exam questions (like section one on the Eduqas paper).

This lesson is based on the GCSE AQA Child Development Specification. The focus is on Unit 5- Provision for the parent and child. This lesson looks at Grandparents and Child Minders.

This resource is a scaffolding guide to help students structure and answer the 30 mark exam question. The resource has hints, tips and sentence starters. My students used this template to help them with revision for the very first 2017 examination. ALL students scored between 23 and 29 out of 30 on this question. Not bad for the first cohort.

As Eduqas teachers are aware, it's pretty difficult to cover and teach all areas of life during lesson time. Last year, I covered the main areas of life (Education and Work) and encouraged students to research the other areas independently. The Power Point attached instructs and encourages students to research alternative areas of life using resources available to them. You can do this in lesson time, but I would recommend setting this as homework. My students were given interactive templates to help them on their way. See attached.

This is an introductory lesson to GCSE Sociology. It is aimed at year 9 and encourages students to think about what Sociology includes and why sociologists study. I teach the Eduqas course, so there are references to Eduqas within the slides. However, you can adapt this to fir your own exam board criteria.

This lesson is aimed at the GCSE Eduqas course but can be adapted and used with AQA. It is interactive and encourages students to reflect on their own identity.
