DISTANCE LEARNING Paper 2: 3. Childhood

This is the 3rd lesson in this series for Yr12 AQA Sociology Family. I created it for 1st Lock Down. It’s broken down into **4 one hour lessons. ** I used this with my 3 Year 12 groups, they found it easy to follow and I believe it develops a good level of knowledge and understanding, and importantly encourages students to do something with this developed knowledge to help make links and develop analytical and evaluative skills. I have made reference to news stories and clips (some are too big to download) and have included links.

These resources are designed to aid Remote Learning. I teach in a 6th form college, and used these family resources with my three Yr 12 Classes in the first lock down, so they have been tried and tested. I am still to put the remaining work on TES, but have a complete series of lessons. The aim here has been to create manageable chunks of lesson, to create engaging content, develop knowledge and create activities which promote application and analysis to develop understanding.
