PSYCHOPATHOLOGY Revision Powerpoint AQA Psychology

(0)
Designed to recap the whole psychopathology topic for new spec AQA Psychology. Includes shortened notes for definitions of abnormality, OCD, Depression and Phobias I give the students a copy of the student version (usually 2 slides to page) to complete and annotate while I go through the teacher version as a class. Or I get them to complete bits before we go through it. Another idea - You could delete more text off the student version and they could complete it all themselves for homework before you go through it. I have also included a set of exam questions on psychopathology and some blank boxed for short plans for essays on the topics for second years. I have also uploaded an attachment, Memory and some A2 topics (like Sz and Forensic).

Psychology wall display or open evening - Fact of the Week

(0)
A whole series of over 85 psychology strange “facts” to cut up into individual cards. I made a “psychology fact of the week” board and then changed these week by week. I laminated them all individually and chopped them up. Then put a dollop of blue tack on the weird fact board and just rotated the facts. Could also be used at an open evening as a display board as well to stimuate discussion about the subject. Could be used as a fact or fiction activity for the first introductory lesson too if you wanted to. NOTE: I believe them all to be facts, but some have come from google so you never know!
