Pupil friendly revision guide for the AQA GCSE Sociology Unit 2 Topic on the mass media. The revision notes have been made with pupils in mind. They can also be used by NQTs to brush up on subject knowledge. More to come.

The New Grade 9-1 Framework for GCSE RS began this term. The Assessment Framework supports grade boundaries and the statement of attainment concerning each grade from 9-1. This is still in its infancy but the move away from levels has caused confusion and resulted in numerous systems. I hope and trust this is helpful. This was mainly developed to bridge the Key Stage 3 move away from levels and make it representative of GCSE 9-1.

This will be the last year for this spec but it is very relevant for the new GCSE 9-1 Religious studies GCSE targeted towards Grade 1-6. Each key concept or word has the most relevant quotes so pupils can have a one stop shop as to the most appropriate quotes. These quotes and beliefs are from the AQA Mark scheme for each unit and builds on my topic specific knowledge organisers but is explicitly linked to religious quotes and beliefs.

Hi all. To support the Spec B AQA Religious Studies GCSE - model answers for unit 1 Religion and citizenship, covering identity, relationships, sport and multicultural society, marked and checked by an AQA examiner. Please note you can use these for revision; live marking or sharing with less able pupils to make more progress. There are more to come. I have used the mark scheme from AQA to support these answers.

AQA SPEC B UNIT 2 is coming to an end this year but much of the content in the NEW GRADE 9-1 GCSE SPEC A is the same especially in the Thematic studies modules. This will support progress for all learning groups. these 50 quick questions can be used in paired or group activities as well as independent learning activities. The aim is to embed knowledge and allow pupils to recall and apply knowledge and understanding. The Quick Question approach was observed in maths lessons so I have tried to adopt it for Religious Studies. Hope it helps all colleagues and pupils!

Crime, Inequality and Media model responses to 5 mark questions for paper 2. I have answered over 32 questions for 5 marks Using mark schemes, pupil responses and exam report feedback. These questions have come up routinely since 2011 till now. I will continue developing them moving onto 12 mark questions for paper 1 and paper 2. We still have one more year with this spec. hope it helps in the final two weeks. Only 10 questions have been omitted which were similar to questions already answered.

A full knowledge organiser based on the AQA A 9-1 GCSE Islam Unit covering key quotes, beliefs, explanations and examples of practice. Organised to support learners across the 9-1 ability range. It worked really well with 5 and 12 Markers. Please do let me know how you get on. This should be especially useful where RE departments do not have enough curriculum time and may need ready to use resources that cover all key beliefs in one space. They can support immediate progress and can be used like Science Knowledge Organisers.

A story board to support the AQA A Islam 9-1 Beliefs and practices. Ideal for lower ability and for use with higher ability pupils who may omit basic beliefs when developing their responses.

A list of beliefs and practices with key bits in bold to support learners who revise best through lists. I have tried to reduce fact so it is in small chunks. Pupils can use the sheet printed on 4 sheets per page and fold for a mini cards revision list. Supports learners of all abilities. As a teaching tool can be used to check misconceptions, affirm previous learning and be used a tick sheet to self reflect on what pupils know.

Thanks for having a look at these resources. I have found the new spec and available resources needing more support so I have put together these model responses for Studying Society and Research methods 38 MODEL ANSWERS. We teach Sociology 9-1 to a very mixed ability grouping. These model answers focus on 3 and 4 mark questions which focus on specific knowledge AO1 and AO2. They can support a wide range of target grades, lower ability pupils can use them to practice and learn how to respond to questions. Middle and Higher ability pupils can use them to augment them further. I have used the AQA recommended Textbook by Collins which features many of the practice questions. I have further used the exam spec, mark scheme indicative knowledge and textbook to develop each response. Feedback much appreciated. I anticipate these model responses can be used every year with a broad range of pupils. Appreciate feedback.

I have been teaching this for over a year now and have found that pupils can have difficulty accessing the terminology. So I have developed this Key words list using the AQA Glossaries to cover all Topics in Unit 1 Studying society, education and family; crime, media and inequality for Unit 2. Every key word is covered to ensure pupils can maximise their marks across the questions. You can use them for quizzes, setting 12 Mark questions, short tests etc. Thanks for your support.

I have used quotes shared by user Cillachinchilla’s to create a booklet where pupils can learn to apply and understand them better. This can be used as a homework booklet or a home learning pack during School lockdown. Thanks to Cillachinchilla for initially sharing. I hope it is useful for all colleagues. The quotes mainly focus on applying Christianity to the themes paper but can be used at the end of Year 9 too. Hope all colleagues are safe and well.
