Close Language Analysis Template

Close Language Analysis Template

(2)
This template is designed to guide students through close language analysis. I found this kind of approach the fastest and most effective way to label language features for AO1 and then to score really good AO3 with in depth analysis and links to wider ideas and meaning. Slide one is a blank template and the second slide is an example of how the template can help analyse a quote. Hi! If you came from Twitter, thanks for all the retweets, this blew up! If you want to try out the technique yourself, download this resource for free :-) Download to get an editable copy of the BLANK template! Made for A Level but can be adapted for any level really. Even year 7s or GCSE will benefit from this technique. Please leave a review! Follow my twitter to stay updated with more essential free resources and news - @astarlevels

Issues and Debates Revision Booklet

(1)
I’ve created a comprehensive set of notes for every topic in A Level Psychology. They completely cover the specification, condensing all the key theories, studies, applications and evaluations into one booklet. I used these notes only alongside practice questions & achieved an A* in 2017. Why they work: > Organised according to, and covering entirely, the AQA specification. > All AO1 and AO3 ready to answer exam questions > Presented in a concise and memorable way It covers every topic in this area of the spec: • Gender and culture in psychology – universality and bias. Gender bias including androcentrism and alpha and beta bias; cultural bias, including ethnocentrism and cultural relativism. • Free will and determinism: hard determinism and soft determinism; biological, environmental and psychic determinism. The scientific emphasis on causal explanations. • The nature-nurture debate: the relative importance of heredity and environment in determining behaviour; the interactionist approach. • Holism and reductionism: levels of explanation in psychology. Biological reductionism and environmental (stimulus-response) reductionism. • Idiographic and nomothetic approaches to psychological investigation. • Ethical implications of research studies and theory, including reference to social sensitivity. Please do check out my shop as I have over 100 other revision resources. DM me on Twitter @astarlevels if you have any questions. Good luck in your exams!
Cognitive Psychology/ Memory Exam Questions Workbook

Cognitive Psychology/ Memory Exam Questions Workbook

(5)
This is a collection of exam questions for the new AQA Psychology specification (2016) focused on the topic of cognitive psych/ memory. I also have made workbooks for attachment, social psych and psychopathology - if you liked this then don’t miss them - linked below!! The questions are usefully grouped so that once you have revised the topic you can test yourself on a range of questions that have appeared in the past, giving you ample opportunities to get familiar with the types of questions the exam board have asked in the past and no doubt will again. Even students who can recite their notes off by heart may struggle to achieve the top grades because they have poor exam technique, but this workbook is the ideal resource to improve exam technique simply by practicing! I have meticulously gone through past papers for the old specification and carefully selected the most relevant questions to the new spec, allowing students to prepare for exam questions that are likely to reappear. I found this very useful on the way to getting an A*. I also have these workbooks for attachment, social psychology and psychopathology- https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/attachment-exam-question-booklet-a-level-psychology-aqa-new-spec-11684162 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/social-psychology-exam-question-booklet-a-level-psychology-aqa-new-spec-11684168 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/psychopathology-revision-exam-question-booklet-a-level-psychology-aqa-new-spec-11684165
