GCSE 9-1 Specification Planned for AQA Specification but suitable for other exam boards. Includes knowledge organiser, homework, assessments. This is the same unit as what is currently in my shop (great reviews!), however I have put it into one unit/resource, so that I can bundle units together to help save you money, Please review if you download

Lesson 5 on AQA 9-1 Specification Crime & Deviance This lesson focuses on Merton’s Strain Theory and briefly touches on Cohen’s theory (but this is covered in more detail later in the unit) The lesson uses my Key Thinker Template and students evaluate the theory. Please leave a review

Please leave a review if you download! I will be creating one for each of the units. I have created a Keythinkers (only) work booklet for students. I am planning to issue this over the Easter Holidays. Students use Cornel note taking strategies to show their understanding of each of the Key texts. There are several exam questions relating to each of the key texts to develop students confidence in using these texts.

GCSE 9-1 Specification Paper 2 Crime and Deviance. These are all my Crime & Deviance lessons bundled together. This covers all of the theory content. This bundle does not include the final 5 lessons that are looking at patterns and trends. I no longer teach this unit, so haven’t completed the unit, but I have had several requests to put the lessons into a bundle to make it cheaper for you. Includes knowledge organiser so suitable for a revision resource Please review if you purchase :)

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. The homework task refers to a knowledge organiser than can be bought in my store. However, the homework task can be completed without it. It’s just our departmental push on the use of them throughout the unit. Lesson 3- Looking at Primary, Secondary, Qual & Quan data. Considering how studies are peer reviewed and evaluated. Exam practice with model answer. Homework Task also prepared.

New Spec 9-1 The lesson focuses on Talcott Parsons. Students complete a gap filler and complete a Key Thinkers Template, followed by evaluation of Parsons. The lesson finishes with strengths & limitations of Functionalist viewpoint If you download please leave a review

New Spec 9-1 The lesson concentrates on looking at Rapoport & Rapoport (1982) as Key Thinkers. There is a proforma and students evaluate the study. Also covered looking at why there is family diversity. Please leave a review.

New Spec- 9-1 This lesson looks at an introduction to Functionalist viewpoint on the nuclear family by looking at the work of G.P Murdock. Students look at the four functions of the nuclear family. Next lesson will be Parsons. If you download please review.

2 Lessons on different types of interview (structured, in-depth and group). Looking at 3 examples, followed by design challenge, exam practice and WAGOLL in lesson 1. Lesson 1 may take longer than one hour, particuarly if you use a full length episode to support them. Lesson 2 looks at group interviews with a summary worksheet and a further exam question and WAGOLL.

Planned for 9-1 New Specification The lesson is intended to be a research and group presentation lesson but I have included the PDF that they would search for, and they could just present using paper and speeches rather than using ICT. Depends on your group and resources that are available. Great lesson to get them to develop presentation skills, but also develops numeracy skills.

New Spec 9-1 Lesson looking at monogamy, polygamy, Kibbutz, Commune and the one-child policy in China.

A lesson that introduces the key perspective Functionalism. This is a lesson suitable for either an introduction in sociology or as a refresher/revision for students before their GCSE. Suitable for non-specialists or a cover lesson. Please leave feedback.

Planned for 9-1 AQA specification. This lesson can take 2 hours (double lesson) if you watch the documentary. Students complete an information sheet on what the Welfare State introduced after the war. They then look at New Right, Centre-Left, Marxist and Feminist perspectives on welfare. There are some extension questions for those who complete this. There is then a documentary about the benefits cap. The idea is to offer this as a possible solution, but for students to think about the implications of this. This documentary is not essential for the course, but it is a nice way for students to think about alternatives to the welfare state, or to consider if the welfare state is a worthwhile investment with taxation.

Lesson 13 looks at power distribution in the family. There are 2 video clips that look at domestic violence in the UK. Students then complete some comprehension questions.

Planned for students to complete before their end of unit assessment. Also useful for revision/homework.

This is a mini research unit that will be taught ahead of the units (after the introduction unit). It should take approximately 11 lessons to go through the basic research methods. I am aware this is no longer necessary to be taught as an explicit unit, however we feel they need the basic knowledge to be able to answer the questions in the different units. Lesson 2 looks at what a pilot study is and encourages students to pilot a questionnaire. There is a gap filler task for the sampling techniques and 3 exam questions with model answers. Please review if you purchase

Planned for AQA new spec (9-1) but suitable for most exam boards. This is a knowledge organiser that contains key thinkers, and a summary of the unit. It is a good revision tool, but students will obviously need to go into further detail on each of the key thinkers etc. Please leave a review if you download.
