This is a resource pack for the first few lessons of AQA GCSE Sociology (new specification) to introduce students to new concepts and ideas, along with what to expect in the course. This pack usually takes me just a couple of lessons to deliver as part of a Year 10 induction week. It includes: Teacher booklet Student booklets PPTs Activities This can be adapted for other GCSE Sociology specifications, and can also be used or adapted if you have ‘taster’ lessons with Y9 into Y10 when they are picking their GCSE choices (or Y11 into Y12 if you offer GCSE at Sixth form). (You could also probably scale this up for Y12 A Level Sociology if you wanted to adapt the content and add the extra depth to cover the A Level standard). *If you are teaching Sociology, I have other resources available for the GCSE, and AQA & OCR A Level topic areas. These are full topic packs that are ‘ready to go’, so are especially helpful for anyone who is a PGCE student or NQT.

This is a student guidance booklet for undertaking an independent RESEARCH PROJECT into SOCIAL INEQUALITY for the OCR A Level Sociology (new specification) topic of RESEARCH METHODS & SOCIAL INEQUALITY. It is designed to be given to students after having taught research methods and social inequality content, they can then undertake their own mini-research project to fully apply their understanding of methods in the context of social inequality. The student booklet outlines the steps they should take and points to consider for using a secondary data, questionnaires and interviews, and the analysis, write-up, presentation and evaluation of their own project. Student could pick their own topic, I have a list of key areas that I tend to give to the students, for example age and poverty, gender and employment, ethnicity and education and so on, which guides them to a more narrowed down focus. Students can work in pairs and present their findings to the class which also adds to the overall class knowledge and understanding of specific inequalities. Included in this pack: Student/Staff booklet *This could be easily adapted to meet the requirements of AQA Sociology for students to research an education topic for their methods in context skills. *You could also adapt this for practicals in Psychology as A Level or GCSE, you would need to change a couple of the evaluation guidance points to cover GRAVEDS for Psychology, and if used for Pearson Edexcel A Level, then it’d need changes to specific methods as per the requirements of the specification for each topic; for example questionnaires for Social, experiments for Cognitive etc.

STAYING MENTALLY HEALTHY PSHCE or form time activity based on ways to support mental health and wellbeing for students. A powerpoint with a short set of ideas and an activity for mental wellbeing that can be covered in a form time slot of about 20 minutes, or on a health and wellbeing PSHCE drop down day as an hours lesson*. This could also be used as a daily wellbeing starter in form, using one of the suggested ideas each day for a wellbeing week. for a lesson of an hour you would need to download and print some anti-anxiety colouring pages which are free online, but I don’t have any that I have made so cannot add any to the listing here

**OCR Sociology A Level Exam Revision Questions ** Set of example questions students can use for targeted revision. The questions include a breakdown of question type and AO spread for each section of the exam paper. These are designed for students to engage in targeted revision in order to practice the exam style questions. You could also use them to build assessments in the run up to the exams. Please note, these are not OCR questions, these are questions I have devised that follow the exam style of questioning, but also enable students to target a range of possibilities in question wording for exam practice. There are a range of questions for: Paper 1 Section A (Socialisation, Culture, Identity) Paper 1 Section B (Youth Subculture) Paper 2 Section B (Social Inequality) Paper 3 Section A (Globalisation and Digital Media) Paper 3 Section B (Crime and Deviance) I have not included Paper 2 Section A Research Methods in Context as these are based on source materials, and I tend to use studies I have used from across the social inequality topic to tackle those questions and extend understanding, so I don’t have questions for that section in this pack.

Social Media PSHCE PSHCE ppt designed for KS5 or KS4 This ppt is prepared as two form time lessons (20 to 30 minutes approximatley) or to be delivered as a full lesson (40 to 60 minutes approximately).

Understand how to recognise how content you create and share may contribute to, or challenge these distortions. The students are encouraged to think about their own contributions on social media as well as wider social issues around what is shared by others. This is non-assessed, so activities are based around discussion and class debate, hence approximation on the timings as you could encourage length discussion if desired.
