This resource includes 2-3 hours worth of activities to enable students to outline and evaluate Zimbardo study. Lesson 1: A powerpoint and video link (approx 30-40 mins) for students to gain a good understanding of the Zimbardo study. Lesson 2: A review of the video and a detailed handout of the Zimbardo study followed by a 'bingo' style activity for students to review their knowledge. Lesson 3: A powerpoint, matching activity and model essay which helps students to be able to evaluate. Students will then consolidate their knowledge through a 'spot the mistakes' activity which when complete gives them a 'model essay' which they can create their own essay plan from.

A lesson to outline and then evaluate 2 explanations of obedience. A number of activities are included starting with a discussion based around the Nuremberg trials. This is then followed up with some teacher input and then an associated cloze activity for students. Students then complete an application style exam question (suggested answers attached). Finally there is an evaluation task where students need to use prompts to complete 'effective evaluation'. Finally students consolidate their knowledge with 'dominos' to review key terms for both the outline and evaluation of the theories. A suggested homework to review the My Lai Massacre is also included.

A fully resourced lesson covering 2 definitions of abnormality. The starter requires students to organise the card sort into behaviours/characteristics that are abnormal or normal with a justification. Then the powerpoint outlines the key aspects of each of these definitions allowing students.Students then organise the behaviours again but to include some justification using the content which they have learned. A short application task requires students to apply their knowledge of the two definitions (from page 135 of the green hair girl book). The final task helps students to evaluate the two definitions. This starts with two discussion tasks in which students consider the strengths and weaknesses of each definition and then they are provided with a framework (evaluate-student handout) to help complete this using the powerpoint.

A fully resourced lesson to outline and evaluate two definitions of abnormality (Failure to Function Adequately, and Deviation from Ideal Mental Health) The lesson starts with a ‘teacher outline’ of Failure to Function Adequately. Students then consolidate and apply their understanding of the definition through watching the video of Denise (Hoarder.mp4). Then there is a short student task and teacher outline for ‘Deviation from Ideal Mental Health’. Students then consolidate their understanding by transforming the content into pictures and symbols (using student handout AO1). To help students evaluate the definition there are some discussion prompts on the powerpoint followed by an independent matching task. As a plenary and/or homework task students are asked to review ‘The Naked Rambler’ and apply their knowledge of these two definitions (and potentially others) to this situation

A student-centered lesson provided for revision of ‘Asch & Milgram Variations’. Students were given a choice of 5 activities to complete (with the idea being they would complete at least 2 of these. The ‘powerpoint’ provided outlines these options e.g. matching task, exam questions, QQT, independent revision etc. Revision Notes: These are the key aspects of the studies & variations which students could use to either assist with their completion of the matching task or to help with their independent revision if required Matching Task (Matching Task Answers): This is a card sort activity to help students to review their understanding of the key studies and variations (AO1). Students working in pairs are provided with the ‘name’ of the study/variation ‘description/procedure’ and ‘finding’ and have to match these three aspects. The answers are provided in a separate document (see attached) and on the powerpoint to allow the class to self/peer assess if needed. Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards): These are flashcards provided for students to help students test each other on key aspects of the studies and variations (AO1 and AO3) A small selection of mostly short answer questions related to each of the topics. These begin with simpler ‘knowledge’ based questions and end with more application style questions. There are mark schemes attached which could be used for self/peer/teacher assessment.

A student-centered lesson provided for revision on Explanations of Obedience Revision Map: This helps students to review key aspects of Explanations of Obedience such as Agentic State, Legitimacy of Authority and Authoritarian Personality (AO1/AO3) requiring students to answer a series of short-answer questions to review the model. There are some suggested answers written in brief. They could then be asked to write an essay (or create an essay plan) for a 16 mark question “Discuss explanations of obedience, referring to the scenario” Quiz Quiz Trade (Flashcards): These are flashcards provided for students to help students test each other on key aspects of the theories
