Philosophy Boxes [PSHE & Citizenship Bundle] [Critical Thinking, Philosophy, Ethics, SMSC, Cross-Curricular. KS1, KS2, KS3.] British Values, Ethics, Politics, Multiculturalism, Environmental & Animal Ethics

8 Resources
This bundle is for a collection of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons/sessions. Each session comprises a P4C lesson/session that can be used 2-3 times with the same group. The topics included in this bundle are: -Citizenship -British Values -Bullying, Friendship & Social Exclusion -Multiculturalism -Big Issues in Politics -Caring for the Environment -Caring for Animals -Ethics & Morality The Philosophy Boxes Method is a new approach to P4C designed for students in KS1, 2 & 3: it is graphically stimulating, engaging, and fun. This download is also suitable for older students: but the format was designed with younger students in mind. The aim of Philosophy Boxes is to bring philosophy and critical thinking into every subject at every level: we believe that any subject becomes philosophy when students are asked the right questions and when they think about a topic hard enough and on the deepest (most fundamental) level. The Philosophy Boxes Method presents students with a set of ‘mystery boxes’, when a student selects one of the boxes they are presented with 1 of 21 discussion/debate activities [that use 1 of 8 different formats]. The presentation has integrated AfL so that teachers can test knowledge at any point in the lesson. There are 10 different AfL slides to choose from. The design is colourful, animated, fun and engaging: all activities require movement and teachers can decide whether students are expressing their ideas purely verbally or by using post-it notes. The nature of the design is that it can be used for short sessions (5-10 minutes) or much longer sessions (up to 2 hours!) - it allows for classroom practitioners to be flexible and adaptable. It can, therefore, be used in lessons or as a tutor-time activity. The download includes a PowerPoint Show; if you would like an editable PPT presentation so that you can make your own ‘Philosophy Boxes’ presentation you will need to download the template here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-the-philosophy-boxes-method-template-for-creating-your-own-philosophy-boxes-lessons-p4c-p4k-11463227 A complete selection of Philosophy Boxes lessons can be found here: https://www.tes.com/resources/search/?&q=philosophy+boxes+godwin86 Other bundles of ‘Philosophy Boxes’ lessons exist, depending on your need. .

GCSE Sociology - Complete Workbook Set

5 Resources
This bundle contains a complete series of workbooks made for GCSE Sociology students. It includes the four new workbooks made for each of the four main sections of the course (Family, Education, Crime & Deviance, and Social Stratification) and, as a bonus resource, my very popular Research Methods workbook. The workbooks were designed for the AQA specification and adapted for the WJEC/EDUQAS specification (two versions of each workbook are included in this resource pack). Each of the four main workbooks contains the following: Student Progress-Check Tasks A Personal Learning Checklist Activity 1 - Mind-Map Overview Task Activity 2 - Reading Comprehension Activity 3 - Key-Work Match & Listing Tasks Activity 4 - Online Research Tasks Activity 5 - Reading Comprehension Activity 6 - Bare-bones Essay Planning Task Activity 7 - Creative Tasks (Posters & Poetry) Activity 8 - Investigate & Report (Newspaper Article Task) Activity 9 - Reading Comprehension Activity 10 - Essay-Planning Activity Activity 11- Essay Assessment Extension Tasks (Many!) Each contains 25+ sides of activities and is designed to be printed as a double-sided workbook. The files are in editable Word (.doc) format in-case you wish to make any amendments (e.g. changing the exam questions). The workbooks are not designed to be a comprehensive: they each include selected readings and cover some (not all) of the topics listed in the specification. If you are happy with your purchase and leave a 5* rating for this TES bundle, please email me ( godwin86@gmail.com ) and I will send you a FREE ‘Revision Strategy Battle Planner’ which will be useful for your Year 11 students.

GCSE Sociology - Assessment Pack: 20x Practice Exam Sections, Mark-Schemes & Model 12-Mark Answers! (AQA)
godwin86godwin86

GCSE Sociology - Assessment Pack: 20x Practice Exam Sections, Mark-Schemes & Model 12-Mark Answers! (AQA)

6 Resources
This bundle contains 20 GCSE Sociology assessments in the form of practice exam sections. It is designed for the latest AQA specification. Each of the 20 exam sections is half a full exam and takes 50 minutes for students to complete. Each of the 20 exam sections contain a standard set of questions including two 12-mark rubrics: a model answer for one of them is included for each assessment. Each of the 20 exam sections is accompanied by a mark-scheme. In short, in this bundle you get 20 exam sections, 20 mark-schemes, and 20 model 12-mark answers. This bundle should take care of most (if not all) of your GCSE Sociology assessment needs: students should ideally complete these 20 assessments over the 2-year course; data-collection of results allows for easy progress tracking. You may prefer to use them in the run-up to formal public exams: they are ideal for this also! There are five assessments for each of the four main topics: Crime & Deviance, Education, Family & Social Stratification. BONUS RESOURCES: Assessment Feedback Worksheets x2 (A4) Please note: These are not official exam scripts, I do not work for AQA: I have aimed to make reasonable practice exam-questions based on the specimen material already provided. The papers follow the official AQA format and look like official papers. All items are editable: if you think the 12-mark model-answers are too intimidating, feel free to reduce them. .
