This engaging A-Level AQA Psychology resource introduces students to key issues and debates (e.g. nature vs nurture, free will vs determinism, and ethical implications) using the real-life case of Aaron Hernandez. The PowerPoint includes student-led tasks, a timeline of Hernandez’s life, a brain scan analysis of CTE, and a 16-mark exam-style question to promote critical thinking and application of psychological concepts. Ideal for Year 12 students as an introductory lesson to the Issues and Debates topic. Perfect for sparking discussion around biological determinism, reductionism, and the role of mental health in criminal behavior.
