This is a series of resources to get students retrieving information from the memory and psychopathology.
There is a bit of variety including:
Bingo (2)
Crosswords (2)
Work out the picture (1)
True/False (1)
Pyramid Builder (2)
Take 1 from each column (1)
Anagrams (1)
Odd one out (1)
Sort the PEEL paragraphs (1)
This is the answer, what is the question? (1)
Characteristic card sort (1)
And others
I use this at the start of other topic lessons to force students to recall information about previous topics.
I have created a revision booklet for Paper 1 OCR GCSE Psychology 9-1 (new spec).
This has a variety of activities to help students revise the content for:
Criminal Psychology
Development
Psychological Problems
There is no research methods in this booklet. I have decided against putting it in this booklet as I feel it would be best as a stand alone booklet due to the fact it is in both papers. There are many research methods booklets available and little changes in research methods so people will want to use their own.
Also, I have NOT included the studies in here. The reason is that I have a separate studies booklet that I get my students to fill in across the 2 years for homework. I have included this for you to use (if you wish). This is a page for each study for students to fill in.
There are a variety of crosswords, word searches, gap fills, cryptograms, double puzzles and others. The criticisms involve note taking. There is also a front cover, you may wish to do your own, hence why it is at the end.
A side note: I am a teacher (not a full time author, or part time for that matter), just like you! It has taken me roughly 20 hours to make this booklet, if you are expecting a bound revision booklet then please look elsewhere. This is mainly to help students revisit content alongside the Billingham book. Equally you are paying to be able to print as many copies of this for your own students as you like. Please do not reupload!
Many thanks! If you have any questions please feel free to message me.
I will eventually produce a booklet for Paper 2.
Students love doing this fun cartoon and stages match up. Hand drawn by myself to illustrate the stages of Cohen's Status Frustration. File comes with each of the 6 stages. Students have to put them in a flow diagram. Students can also add their own speech and thoughts to the bubbles on the pictures. (Correct order of the stages included as a picture).
Can be used for GCSE or A Level. All exam boards use Cohen's Status Frustration in Crime and Deviance topic.
I am looking at providing more of these cartoons to illustrate different theories. Let me know if there are any you would like.
Please provide feedback if you like.
This is a simple overview of four different sociological theories (Functionalism, Feminism, Marxism and New Right)
There is an activity to do on each in order to work out what each theory argues. There is also an empty string puppet for students to fill in about who controls society according to that theory and whether they see it as good or bad.
There is also a key terms section to fill in.
Students enjoy doing this and provides them with a basic overview of each of the theories.
GCSE level and can be used for any exam board.
My students found these extremely useful and many have them on their wall for revision. I would recomment blowing up to A3.
Brief overview on the theories of the family including generic statements and key terms, family they prefer and don't prefer. Put these up around where students gathered before their GCSE exam.
A lesson about how the roles of women have changed in the family and why they have changed. More concentration on the latter.
There is also some debate about whether feminism is still needed or not by looking at improvements in women's lives and what is still to be improved.
File includes:
Powerpoint (with links to appropriate video clips)
I like to start the lesson by showing Meghan Trainor 'Dear Future Husband' to allow students to try to guess what we will be studying in the lesson.
Within the powerpoint there is also recent adverts to compare to the 1950s to show how little has changed.
Also a worksheet on adverts from the 1950s. Students have to find the point of the advert, what has improved for women, and what hasn't improved to help them come to a conclusion about whether feminism is still needed.
There is also a document from the Good Housekeeping Guide to show how women were expected to behave in the 1950s.
Kahoot link. I have also provided a Kahoot link (in powerpoint) for a fun quiz on the family (overview). Students love Kahoot!
Students loved this lesson and worked well with year 10-11. Great for the family topic or feminism in general.
Could be adapted for A Level.
Any feedback is greatly received.
OCR A Level Sociology. Crime and Deviance revision sheet. Overview of theories, names, concepts etc.
Took a long time to make!
I also have one available for Sociology of the Family, see other resources.
Please feel free to review and give feedback on how to improve.
Students were extremely happy with this resource, probably more so than any other as it helped them visualise where theory relate to one another.
Essay planning booklet for WJEC Sociology GCSE Family.
Includes:
List of past questions
Questions I have come up with (around 15-20)
Planning sheet with the title of each essay question on
An example mark scheme.
Tips on essay structure.
Our feedback sheet which I have after every essay page.
I tend to have a front cover (attached), followed by the past questions and my questions, then have a question plan sheet, followed by space (lined paper sheet), followed by a feedback sheet.
Students find these extremely helpful. Can be done in class and/or at home.
I have a booklet for crime and deviance and a booklet for the family
Please note this does not have topic info in, use the book for that.
I put together 3 overview sheets covering Top Down and Bottom up approaches to offender profiling. There are 2 sheets on AO1 and 1 sheet covering AO3 (all word documents). Photocopy as many as you like for your students but please don’t share with other teachers. These took roughly 3 hours to make!
