A new unit of work using the PSHE association mapping structure for the new 2020 Relationship, Sex and Health Education area. This unit is aimed at Year 7. But suitable for any KS3 group. Lesson 3 looks at grooming and child sexual exploitation and is age appropriate for a KS3 or KS4 class. The lesson uses 3 video clips that are embedded into the slides, if you have an issue playing these back (for some reason some of my previous lessons had small issues) please don’t leave me a low review because of this issue, leave me a fair review with your email address and i will send you the videos straught away. Fingers crossed you should find the videos play well (I had IT help me :) ) The lesson also has a disclaimer for students to think sensibly about their contributions.

A knowledge organiser prepared for the AQA New Spec, but can suit any . Whilst we know Studying Society no longer exists as a separate topic, we have opted to teach a mini research methods unit (soon to be uploaded) after the introduction. This means students have an awareness of the methods and can then feed it into the other units. This is the knowledge organiser for the mini unit. If you download please leave a review.

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. Please review if you purchase

This is a mid unit assessment that looks at research methods and the introduction to Sociology topic. I have included the feedback power point that is also the mark scheme, it provides WAGOLLS for each of the longer questions. I have also included our purple pen DIRT feedback sheet, and our Sociology assessment file tracker. Please leave feedback

The homework task refers to a knowledge organiser than can be bought in my store. However, the homework task can be completed without it. It’s just our departmental push on the use of them throughout the unit. Lesson 3- Looking at Primary, Secondary, Qual & Quan data. Considering how studies are peer reviewed and evaluated. Exam practice with model answer. Homework Task also prepared.

2 Lessons on different types of interview (structured, in-depth and group). Looking at 3 examples, followed by design challenge, exam practice and WAGOLL in lesson 1. Lesson 1 may take longer than one hour, particuarly if you use a full length episode to support them. Lesson 2 looks at group interviews with a summary worksheet and a further exam question and WAGOLL.

Centres around the film Wall:E. As most children have seen this you probably won’t need to show the whole film (but is nice if you have a reward afternoon). The idea of the project is for the students to become advocates of something that will help the world and to create a campaign to stop it from happening e.g. preventing litter in school, raising awareness about water use.

A great project that centres around the film Pay it Forward (not essential to watch, but makes for nice class discussions and gives them ideas). We usually do this around April to coincide with the global Pay it Forward Day. But can be done at any time of the year and would be particularly nice in the run up to Christmas.

A lesson that follows on from an introduction to Functionalism. This lesson concentrates on Durkheim and introduces Parsons. This is a suitable lesson for an introduction to Sociology but also suitable for GCSE Revision.

Attached are the learning journeys for the AQA Sociology GCSE whole course. I was asked to create these by a customer who had downloaded some of my lessons and wanted to use them for the whole course. These are printed and stuck into the students books at the start of each topic. You can edit and tweak these to suit your own course. They are great, not only at the start of the topic area, but provide students with a revision checklist. Students can cross out/highlight lesson areas when they have revised them. I will eventually add all of the units to accompany these learning journeys. Introduction to sociology, education and social stratification can be found in my shop. Introduction to Sociology Research Methods (mini unit) Paper 1- Families Paper 1- Education Paper 2- Social Stratification Paper 2- Crime & Deviance

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.

Knowledge organiser created for New AQA spec (9-1) but suitable for other exam boards. Please leave a review if you purchase.

Knowledge organiser planned for the new AQA spec (9-1), however with some tweaking I’m sure it is suitable for most exam boards. 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.

Planned for 9-1 AQA specification. This lesson can take 2 hours (double lesson) if you watch the documentary. Students complete an information sheet on what the Welfare State introduced after the war. They then look at New Right, Centre-Left, Marxist and Feminist perspectives on welfare. There are some extension questions for those who complete this. There is then a documentary about the benefits cap. The idea is to offer this as a possible solution, but for students to think about the implications of this. This documentary is not essential for the course, but it is a nice way for students to think about alternatives to the welfare state, or to consider if the welfare state is a worthwhile investment with taxation.

A lesson that introduces the key perspective Functionalism. This is a lesson suitable for either an introduction in sociology or as a refresher/revision for students before their GCSE. Suitable for non-specialists or a cover lesson. Please leave feedback.
