Hi all. Please see my key words glossary for Unit 1 AQA Sociology covering every key word from the specification in pupil friendly language. You can use this for revision, planning and interventions. I think it could be really helpful as the subject can be very wordy and pupils can lose confidence. This will help pupils quickly understand the key words and how to apply them. Please do leave feedback as these resources will continue to be developed for another two years until a new reformed Sociology course begins. Thanks for your time. best wishes

A one page document that covers the theories of sociology across the 6 topics of studying society, family, education, crime, media and inequality. The document offers summary statements that can allow pupils to develop further arguments and make more links. It worked really well with my Year 11s especially the lower and middle ability pupils who were able to interpret suggest and make statements about the theories in their 5 and 12 mark responses.

Crime, Inequality and Media model responses to 5 mark questions for paper 2. I have answered over 32 questions for 5 marks Using mark schemes, pupil responses and exam report feedback.

We still have one more year with this spec. hope it helps in the final two weeks. Only 10 questions have been omitted which were similar to questions already answered.

Hi All, I have undertaken a painstaking examination of every topic that has come up for GCSE AQA Sociology course examinations since 2010. Paper 1 Studying Society, Family and Education. Paper 2 Crime, Media and Social Inequality. It will help target pupils revision by observing the frequency of topics and the typical combinations. It will enable teachers to plan and target learning for pupils based on their Target/Progress 8 Grade. Every Exam paper was looked at and the key topic and related topic tabled. GCSE Grade boundaries for the course Paper 1 and Paper 2 in a simple table (June Series). I want to continue developing targeted appropriate resources that aim to raise progress and support teachers who may not wish to download and print everything on the AQA website so this will help with planning and preparation. Please do offer feedback as I will continue developing resources for this course.

30 MODEL ANSWERS to 3 and 4 mark questions in the family topic. Thanks for having a look at these resources. I have found the new spec and available resources needing more support so I have put together these model responses forfPaper 1 family. We teach Sociology 9-1 to a very mixed ability grouping. These model answers focus on 3 and 4 mark questions which focus on specific knowledge AO1 and AO2. They can support a wide range of target grades – lower ability pupils can use them to practice and learn how to respond to questions. Middle and Higher ability pupils can use them to augment them further. I have used the AQA recommended Textbook by Collins which features many of the practice questions. I have further used the exam spec, mark scheme indicative knowledge and textbook to develop each response. Feedback much appreciated. I anticipate these model responses can be used every year with a broad range of pupils.

A Lesson on official statistics in crime to support a critical awareness of what Official statistics show. Pupils can also engage with a self report study to develop an awareness of other methodologies. It was an engaging lesson and pupils enjoyed playing a detective. They also noticed that the disadvantages and advantages were misplaced which was good as they recognised advantages and disadvantages of the survey method.
