Mini-whiteboards would be ideal and access to ICT is required for a couple of lessons - one laptop/computer between two students. Created inline with AQA's recommended scheme of work.
This bundle contains a complete series of workbooks made for GCSE Sociology students. It includes the four new workbooks made for each of the four main sections of the course (Family, Education, Crime & Deviance, and Social Stratification) and, as a bonus resource, my very popular Research Methods workbook.
The workbooks were designed for the AQA specification and adapted for the WJEC/EDUQAS specification (two versions of each workbook are included in this resource pack).
Each of the four main workbooks contains the following:
Student Progress-Check Tasks
A Personal Learning Checklist
Activity 1 - Mind-Map Overview Task
Activity 2 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 3 - Key-Work Match & Listing Tasks
Activity 4 - Online Research Tasks
Activity 5 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 6 - Bare-bones Essay Planning Task

Activity 9 - Reading Comprehension
Activity 10 - Essay-Planning Activity
Activity 11- Essay Assessment
Extension Tasks (Many!)
Each contains 25+ sides of activities and is designed to be printed as a double-sided workbook. The files are in editable Word (.doc) format in-case you wish to make any amendments (e.g. changing the exam questions).
The workbooks are not designed to be a comprehensive: they each include selected readings and cover some (not all) of the topics listed in the specification.
UPDATE: This bundle has now been enhanced with four additional workbooks: these ‘video-learning workbooks’ help students to learn from online video resources more effectively.
If you are happy with your purchase and leave a review and rating for this TES bundle, please email me ( godwin86@gmail.com ) and I will send you a FREE ‘Revision Strategy Battle Planner’ which will be useful for your Year 11 students.
