Introduction to Sociology for Yr 11 Taster Day: Establishing Society

(0)
This provides a 1 hour starter/taster to sociology develops the ideas of society, role, stereotyping - as well as developing themes such as social control, belief, family, education etc. The session is taught through the PowerPoint and based around discussion of the roles needed for society, whats needed to create a functional society, who would best provide the roles and inevitably stereotyping. Students typically discuss the need for power and control and who has it. This leads to some nice early ideas developing Marxism and Functionalism. Accompanying resources are attached.

AQA Sociology: Family Distance Learning

5 Resources
These resources are designed to aid Remote Learning. I teach in a 6th form college, and used these family resources with my three Yr 12 Classes in the first lock down, so they have been tried and tested. I am still to put the remaining work on TES, but have a complete series of lessons. The aim here has been to create manageable chunks of lesson, to create engaging content, develop knowledge and create activities which promote application and analysis to develop understanding.
Year 12/13 Sociology Targeting and Progress Tracking Sheets

Year 12/13 Sociology Targeting and Progress Tracking Sheets

(0)
I use these Tracking and Targeting sheets with my 6th Form Students. They transfer the comments that I have made on their work onto their tracking sheets. The idea is that the students and I can easily track what they need to do in order to move in. This can be kept at the front of their files, or in may case I keep these in an folder attached to the wall - easy for me and my students to access. I also ask them to look at their tracking sheet before they start the next essay/LAQ and write the target at the top of the work - to focus them!
