AQA A Level Sociology Revision Booklets- All Topics

5 Resources
A set of thorough and comprehensive revision booklets for all three A Level sociology exams, which cover all content they need to know. It includes information for students, and loads of 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. There is a booklet for each of the following topics: education, families, media, crime, and theory and methods I have been using these as home learning and in lessons- students find they structure their revision really well. I really hope this is useful to you!
