My old specification lesson resources for the families unit. They are a great set of resources that I am tweaking and adapting for the new spec, but a (cheap) starting point for non-specialists/trainees.

Planned to be delivered to students studying the AQA Specification A, but easily adapted for other exam boards. I have planned all content to be delivered during an intensive Easter School session, in which the aim is for students to understand the main content of the exam. Also suitable for a school VLE.

This is a resource I will be using to give students alongside their mock exam paper (AQA but easily adapted for other exam boards). The top of the proforma is for students to analyse the questions of the themes paper. There is then a PLC for the whole exam- including Christianity, Islam, Themes B, D, E and F. This will be used for the mock feedback lesson before class revision begins.

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. 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.
