Students were set the task of designing a revision booklet - working together on this as a group activity. The Revision Booklet Doc - 'Their instructions&' suggested all groups follow the same format, so that the end product had common themes.

Students obtained the &'Possible Questions&'; from past AQA papers and questions suggested in the AQA text.

I used this after tracing methods as a review/revision exercise. I printed the concepts on one colour paper and the definitions on a different colour. So it was a Pairing exercise - group activity. Students all receive a card and had to locate their partner/pairing. I've used the ‘online time-bomb' when using this activity with my students, to create the pressure of time! It's a nice starter to the revision season! This is followed up with a written activity (word doc which tests recall/knowledge) I have a range of other resources uploaded covering methods.

This is a Blockbusters PowerPoint (link for music and brief TV clip). The PowerPoint contains two game boards (Unit 3 - Beliefs in Soc, Unit 4 Methods, Crime & Deviance Qus).

You may need to adapt the rules depending on the size of your class!

I use these Tracking and Targeting sheets with my 6th Form Students. They transfer the comments that I have made on their work onto their tracking sheets.

I also ask them to look at their tracking sheet before they start the next essay/LAQ and write the target at the top of the work - to focus them!
