This lesson was created as a ‘lighting fires’ lesson for Y13 IB Social Anthropology, but could be used for taster sessions for the subject/introduction to the course.
Please note, the extracts mentioned are from Joy Hendry’s Introduction to Social Anthropology book. However, you can substitute this information on different cultures with extracts from ethnographies you have/information online.
UPDATED Jan 2025
Whole ‘Engaging with Anthropology’ section for IB Social and Cultural Anthropology.
All activities, resources and ethnographical readings for this section.
Includes:
Introduction to the course
The 6 big anthropological questions
Ethics
Research methods
Theories
Some paper 1 exam technique
Bundle contains a working pack to be printed for each anthropology student (containing all the information they need- they complete as they go) and powerpoints that accompany the pack for the teacher.
I wrote this for Yr 6 as an alternative to the usual Nativity, Christmas or Thanksgiving fare. The slides consist of teacher notes and four activities.
Two powerpoints that support learning of forensic anthropology. Includes guidance relating to how an anthropologist would recover bones and considerations of what to record to build a profile (age; gender; stature). Useful for students of BTEC’s Forensic Anthrolopology and Archaeology Unit 14, and students interested in archaeology/anthrology/human geography/history.
A presentation to support the Unit 2 Investigations part of the EDEXCEL Religious Studies specification. There is a lot of room for adapting this presentation, looking at it now I would include a great deal more in the way of images and exercises.
These resources relate to IB Social and Cultural Anthropology

This resource is a revision guide for the ethnography ‘In Search of Respect’ by Philippe Bourgois. Covers: context, history of migration, kinship, gender relations, children, adolescence/rites of passage, education, illegal and legal economy. There is also a revision card checklist at the end.
This revision guide does not include every single detail as I would expect my students to use their more detailed notes to revise from also.
This task card product offers 32 multiple choice and true/false questions of varying difficulty on the forensic topic of forensic anthropology.
Ideal for a forensic science or related course and can be used as a classwork assignment or review.
Includes a student answer sheet as well as an instructor answer key.
Cards can be laminated and reused.
