Whole lesson with activities covering medicalisation in terms of the 'Third Sex', 'Homosexuality' and 'Dying'. Covers points such as cross-cultural perspectives and social control. Originally produced for Access to Higher Education but could be adapted to meet some Sociology specifications for other courses.

Some detailed lessons and other student resources on research methods which were originally tailored for an Access to HE Course but will also be useful for students embarking on an EPQ or for A-Level students who are exploring research methods. There are two versions of an interactive tutorial lesson, one aimed at health and another aimed at sociology research projects. There are activities on questionnaire writing, interviews, data analysis, ethics and report writing structure. These resources would need to be delivered over a series of lessons. They will need adjusting to suit learners needs.

This PowerPoint is full of student activities and was originally created for Access to Higher Education Learners to be delivered over two days. This unit of work covers introduction to mental health and mental ill-health, defining mental health, diagnostic manuals and reliability of these, types of mental illness, data exploration activities and scenarios based on the current mental health crisis. I was observed twice throughout this unit and received a grade 1. There are lots of links which can be pulled out for lesson planning in terms of English, Maths, Employability and Equality and Diversity.

Two full days worth of lessons which could be delivered across several weeks to suit a range of timetables.

The second section of the powerpoint looks at social norms, the link between misconceptions of individuals with mental health conditions being criminals-leading to looking at the deviancy amplification theory. Scenarios and thought-provoking questions throughout which can be tailored dependent on student ability.
