AQA Sociology Education Revision Booklet
A thorough and comprehensive revision booklet for the education section of the paper 1 exam, which covers all content they need to know. It includes information for students, and 7 activities ranging from crosswords to essay planning. Last year I published booklets which only included the advanced info, so I have updated them this year to include everything! They worked really well last year to make sure that students were revising early on, and I’m sure they will be as succesful this year too.
I will be using this in lessons with students- instructions on how I plan to do this are in the booklet.
May need the latest version of word or you might need to play around with the formatting. I’ve also uploaded as a pdf to avoid any trouble.
I really hope this is useful to you!
