This bundle covers the year 1 social influence section. It consists of 3 powerpoints and 3 booklets which in total would take around 6-8 double lessons (14-16 hours) to deliver. They include a range of activities and questions for students to complete throughout with knowledge checks to assess understanding at the end of each section. There is also a focus on exam question construction and model paragraphs. There are two versions of each booklet; student and teacher. For the student booklet, there are blank spaces throughout and students need to copy down any text written in bold/colour on the powerpoints in their booklets. I find that this helps students remember key terms and phrases. The teacher copy is already filled in. Alternatively, this could also be used for students if time was limited. These lessons are especially good for non-specialist or NQT teachers. Remote Learning Update I believe that these resources are suitable for remote learning. I have been delivering the powerpoints via a virtual classroom (or a pre-recorded voice over) and have just simply added in some interactive quizzes from various external platforms. I have been giving the students the teacher version of the booklet so that they have suitable notes that link specifically to the lesson although some students still prefer to use the student version and make their own notes.

Introduction to Psychology Lots of resources covering Social Psychology including: Research Tasks Full Booklets of work. A comprehensive overview of Social Psychology.
