Some resources for CIE Sociology focusing on various types of Aid

Presentation and some tasks on Marxist views on the Media. After connotave codes on the presentation I show some videos of Ads. John Lewis, McDonalds, Special K etc to emphasise the points.

We all know that Sampling is one of the most boring topics on any Sociology syllabus. Here are all the resources you’ll probably need to get through it at any post-16 course. It’s a dry topic but this covers all the bases I should think. All of it is pretty self-explanatory and tasks do lend themselves to linking to Methods in Context.

Activities on sheets and integrated in.
