Attached is a classroom display that can be used to generate random exam style questions for the Research Methods in Context Question at AS and A-level.
Students pick a Research Method and a Context, put these into a question then answer it.
Along with the categories the display also includes a scaffolding/essay plan and some "Red Pen Draws" to highlight what the examiners will be looking for.
I have also included illustration of examples of each research method, in the form of a study.
Please leave feedback where possible.
Challenge Place mat to help students attack challenging situations and stopping them from shying away from the more difficult tasks within a classroom.
Developed from my experience of a coaching CPD session.
I wanted to encourage students to discuss the feedback that I had given them and use this discussion to respond to my marking.
This resource can be laminated and used as a prompting resource to encourage the discussion. There are 4 postcards per 2 slides front to back.
Really good way of assessing students knowledge before they attempt to apply their knowledge to exam style questions.
The answers can be found on the student follow up sheet.
This resource comes with follow up tasks that students complete in response to their self/peer assessed work.
I have found that my classes fully engage with this and it forces them to address their weaknesses before completing an application test. Please see my other resources.

Tracking Document for the Run up to the Exams, students or staff set targets for students to achieve in lessons as well as during Independent Study periods.
Staff then give students a score out of 4, one being the best and 4 being the worst.
This report can also be used as an incentive with rewards and also phone calls home.
Students use this report to track their revision, staff can then test them on the content covered and sign them off on the different areas of the course. I am currently using this as an intervention strategy to get students to further engage with the revision process. Report also includes a countdown to the exam.
Attached is a summer project for Y11 Students moving into Y12. This resource gives them an insight into Sociological Perspectives and begins to apply it to the family.
This summer project also concludes with a essay for the students to complete which can be reviewed when they return in September.
Throughout the project students are given the opportunity to tweet about what they have learnt and share with others in their cohort, hopefully developing a collegiate culture from the start of Y12.
Activities linked to blooms and students also apply their knowledge to exam style questions towards the end of the lesson.
Mark Schemes are linked to the questions and enter once students have attempted them.
Designed to make giving Verbal Feedback, Self and Peer Assessment easy and obvious.
Verbal Feedback - Students to write down what has been said to them and then write a response.
Self Assessment - Students are given prompt to help them look critically at their own work. Including an emoji...
Peer Assessment - Focuses on giving constructive feedback, guided and summarised.
This resource is designed to use from the start of the year at Y12 and continue through to Y13.
This is really good for target marking and for demonstrating progress.
It uses Blooms and key skills as a structure to inform assessment planning and marking.
The non hierarchical approach to Blooms encourages students to continually develop and progress.
This is a full day lecture on Families, including the majority of key issues, perspectives and sociologists.
This resource also includes a break down of a 10 mark (item) question and how to answer it.
Fully marked.
This includes a quick fire questions round so of which has been edited from a variety of revision guides.
The lesson included in this resource pack, includes a detailed lesson plan, interactive resources and full PowerPoint presentation.
The lesson focuses on Aggression and its application to both real life and exam style questions. With Exam style questions broken down and explanations on how to approach them.
The criminal profiles are based around real examples and link directly to different theories around aggression.
The lesson plan is very detailed and includes a differentiation table outlining what each student at each grade should be achieving and how activities can be modified to encourage stretch and challenge or broken down to be similar.
Resource includes a question paper consisting of questions inline with the new specification. This also includes a mark scheme produced using the sample assessment material from AQA website. The questions are different so sample resources can still be used as a Mock Assessment at the End of the Year.
Wave 2 intervention strategy for getting students to get full marks in their short answer questions on the A level AQA Sociology Paper.
This booklet includes, a description on how to complete both 4 and 6 mark questions, scaffolding pages, model answers, application questions and success trackers for students to track their progress.
There is also a section which can be used to hold teacher and student coaching meeting minutes, so students progress can be reviewed. This booklet is part of a series of booklets being produced which are staged to give students individual intervention, tailored to their specific needs.
This resource outlines at least three double lessons, aimed at Y12, focusing on an introduction to crime and deviance ahead of Y13.
There are elements of research and a strong focus on independent learning throughout this unit of work.
The resource includes detailed lesson plans (3) outlining lesson activities these can be found at the end of the PowerPoint document. Also a worksheet for the lessons.
This is ideal for the gap between Y12 and Y13 (the linear nature of sociology means that we need to hit the ground running and this resource really does that)
Please leave feedback where possible.
This lesson investigates the different perspectives and their approach to education, this also uses aspects of the Webb Sociology book.
The lesson design follows a dancing helix strategy removing the hierarchy of Blooms to encourage further development and constant review.
This lesson is designed to develop independent learners but still assess them at every step. This resource includes Quick Check activities as well as a very detailed lesson plan.
