<p>GCSE Sociology 9-1 Specification</p> <p>This unit of work follows the Introduction unit. I use this as a quick intro to research methods, so that throughout the units I can embed/recall this information like in the exam.</p> <p>This is the same unit, as the bundle in my shop. I am putting it into 1 resource, so I can bundle the units together to save you money.</p> <p>Please review if you download</p>

This is an exemplar answer activity.<br /> I have typed an exemplar essay on MIC using an exam question, I went through this with the pupils and we annotated and completed the questions within the exemplar answer.<br /> <br /> A useful activity for A level pupils of all abilities.

<p>Attched are the resources that <strong>guarantee</strong> grades 7s and 8s! I always use this resource when it comes to teaching research methods. It is conscise, to the point and enriched with detail (according to the AQA specification). Included is a A3 sheet for students to complete (summarise the method, and write its advantages and disadvantages) whilst class teacher goes through the powerpoint attached.<br /> I hope I saved you some valuable time and you found my resources useful!<br /> Katherine X</p>

<p>Presentation set for the ‘Functionalism’ topic of the ‘theory and methods’ unit. Contains activities, all the key knowledge, and assessment.</p> <p>Worksheet included to go along with the PowerPoint.</p>

Scheme of Work (of powerpoint lessons/worksheets) produced for methods for WJEC/Educas Sociology GCSE - Short Course. I doubt the new spec will be massively different - the lessons are adapatable for AQA and OCR. Quite simple straight forward lessons as well as one 'skittles sampling interactive lesson'. Includes a Homework Booklet too.

A powerpoint with activities to guide learners through the different types of sampling methods and their value in sociology.
