This lesson looks at Young and Willmott’s Symmetrical Family theory (Key Thinkers). It is evaluated using Oakley and several other sociologists. Students then plan and answer a 12 mark essay question. I have then included the progress checkpoint (low-stakes, open book mini assessment) that follows in the next lesson.

Included is the progress checkpoint that we complete every 6 lessons, this may suit your assessment schedule as a mini-mid unit assessment. Students complete this as a low-stake, open book assessment where they can see if their notes are of a good enough quality.

Planned for students to complete before their end of unit assessment. Also useful for revision/homework.

This is a lesson that sets up 3 lessons (plus homework) for students to be grouped together to look at patterns, trends and contemporary issues within families. Students are given the question prompts and have to create a 10 minute powerpoint presentation and teaching activity. I give students 3 lessons with ICT facilities in 2 of them.

End of Unit assessment including grade boundaries.

This is a double lesson if the whole of the documentary is watched. The lesson combines looking at the changing relationship between parents and their children, and the relationships with the wider family. 4 mark exam question to finish.

Please leave a review if you download! I will be creating one for each of the units. I have created a Keythinkers (only) work booklet for students. I am planning to issue this over the Easter Holidays. Students use Cornel note taking strategies to show their understanding of each of the Key texts. There are several exam questions relating to each of the key texts to develop students confidence in using these texts.

Planned for AQA but suitable for all exam boards if tweaked. Double sided as this is a huge unit! Please leave a review if you download.

Planned for AQA new spec (9-1) but suitable for most exam boards. This is a knowledge organiser that contains key thinkers, and a summary of the unit. It is a good revision tool, but students will obviously need to go into further detail on each of the key thinkers etc. Please leave a review if you download.

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. Lesson 2 looks at what a pilot study is and encourages students to pilot a questionnaire. There is a gap filler task for the sampling techniques and 3 exam questions with model answers.

A computer based lesson. The worksheet can either be printed (preferable) or shared via a school sharing platform and students can edit it on microsoft word. Powerpoint to assist students doing their websearches.

A small assessment that encourages students to apply both skills and knowledge to the research methods unit.

New Spec 9-1 The lesson concentrates on looking at Rapoport & Rapoport (1982) as Key Thinkers. There is a proforma and students evaluate the study. Also covered looking at why there is family diversity. Please leave a review.

New Spec 9-1. Included is the progress checkpoint that we complete every 6 lessons, this may suit your assessment schedule as a mini-mid unit assessment. Students complete this as a low-stake, open book assessment where they can see if their notes are of a good enough quality. The feedback lesson includes a whole-class feedback slide, and both 4 mark questions have a model answer. The students highlight and mark this answer, identifying how it is a good answer. They then attempt a new 4 mark question acting on their feedback.

GCSE Sociology 9-1 Specification A Complete unit of lessons and 2 assessments aimed at the AQA Specification for the GCSE unit Education. This bundle would be suitable for other exam boards. This is the same unit, as a bundle already in my shop. I am putting it into one resource, so I can bundle the units together Lessons cover all key thinkers, have exam practice, model answers and differentiated tasks. This bundle also includes the knowledge organiser so is useful as a revision aid.

BTEC 9-1 Spec, GCSE Specification. Planned for AQA, but suitable for other exam boards. This unit is the same as the bundle currently in my shop. However, I needed to create a single unit resource, to be able to bundle all of the units together :) Planned as in introduction to Sociology. These lesson introduce the key sociological arguments, so that in later units you can get straight on with applying the theory to the unit. Please review if you download.
