Students love doing this fun cartoon and stages match up. Hand drawn by myself to illustrate the stages of Cohen's Status Frustration. File comes with each of the 6 stages. Students have to put them in a flow diagram. Students can also add their own speech and thoughts to the bubbles on the pictures. (Correct order of the stages included as a picture). Can be used for GCSE or A Level. All exam boards use Cohen's Status Frustration in Crime and Deviance topic. I am looking at providing more of these cartoons to illustrate different theories. Let me know if there are any you would like. Please provide feedback if you like.

All the resources you need for a Sociology theories display. I have included: 4 theory overview sheets (Marxism, Feminism, Functionalism and New Right). On each of those sheets is some information regarding: Theory’s view about society, key sociologists linked to that theory, views on the family and views on crime. These can be changed if you study a different topic as they are in publisher format. I’ve also made them in Word format following constructive feedback! I have also included pictures and pieces of information, quotes etc that I used for my display. I do not own the rights to the pictures and so to make it clear, you are paying for the overview sheets and the information I have produced. I have included the picture about how I laid it out, but you may wish to lay it out differently. I also backed on different coloured paper to highlight the different theories. Currently working on Interactionism and Postmodernism. Alternatively/additionally, you can print off just the overview sheets to hand out to students. Took roughly 6 hours to do make all of the resources so asking for £8. Once it’s all up though it will last for years and won’t need updating. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

OCR A Level Sociology. Crime and Deviance revision sheet. Overview of theories, names, concepts etc. Took a long time to make! I also have one available for Sociology of the Family, see other resources. Please feel free to review and give feedback on how to improve. Students were extremely happy with this resource, probably more so than any other as it helped them visualise where theory relate to one another.

3 booklets containing information about essay structure for each question type, lists of questions for each question type, and specification overview. All three exams are covered in the three booklets. Questions have been taken from elsewhere or thought up by myself. We print each booklet in different colours. Front page will need to be changed to suit the school and examination date. All in PDF format, sorry I don’t seem to have the publisher/word versions any more. Please note: This is NOT a content revision booklet, it is just for structure of exam questions, specification overview and practice questions. Took roughly 8 hours to make the booklets. Last year over half our students achieved A*/A in A Level Sociology (2 were predicted an A/A*).

As the title suggests. Statements about individualist or collectivist cultures for students to sort into two columns. Good way of getting them to understand the difference between the two. I use for GCSE Sociology (Family topic)

Revision book for Understanding Social Structures (compulsory core 2). This is for the WJEC exam board. Can be used in conjunction with the WJEC GCSE Sociology book. Some activities and note taking sections for students to complete. There is also an exam tips section as well as a key terms section for students to fill in. I also have a revision book for Understanding Social Processes. No revision books exist for WJEC GCSE Sociology so I made this. Students have found this very useful.

This sheet contains a huge number of names as a spider diagram, Laid out a students wanted, where each theorist falls and under which topic. Took an extremely long time to make!

The file includes the following: Blank board games sheet. (publisher) Sociology themed game counters (publisher) Instructions for students to make the board game (powerpoint) Question cards templates for students to cut out. (word) Students enjoy making their own games. I give each group a topic (The family or crime and deviance for example) and get them to make a game based around this. Give each group scissors, glue, an A3 game board on card and the resources and they make it. It may take 2-3 lessons but well worth it. Students then get the opportunity to play theirs and others in the lesson after. Great way of students to check understanding of topics and turn the learning on its head. Students have to go through the book to formulate questions, Great for revision without them even realising it! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. Can be used in any subject but the counters are specific to Sociology.

Includes: Statements (Which need to be cut up) Connect 4 game board Connect 4 powerpoint instructions. Works best in groups of 3. If you want to make it last longer increase the number they need to get in a row. Give each pupil a different colour pen/pencil/highlighter/felt tip. Students enjoy this.

Two worksheets on white collar vs blue collar crime. One is a notetaking sheet outlining the differences between the two types of crime using the WJEC GCSE Sociology book to help them (could use any book though that outlines the differences between the two) The other sheet gets students thinking about types of crime that could be committed within each job role (focusing on white collar crime). Made for GCSE but could be adapted/used for A Level as a quick activity.

This is a simple overview of four different sociological theories (Functionalism, Feminism, Marxism and New Right) There is an activity to do on each in order to work out what each theory argues. There is also an empty string puppet for students to fill in about who controls society according to that theory and whether they see it as good or bad. There is also a key terms section to fill in. Students enjoy doing this and provides them with a basic overview of each of the theories. GCSE level and can be used for any exam board. My students found these extremely useful and many have them on their wall for revision. I would recomment blowing up to A3.

Brief overview on the theories of the family including generic statements and key terms, family they prefer and don't prefer. Put these up around where students gathered before their GCSE exam.

A lesson about how the roles of women have changed in the family and why they have changed. More concentration on the latter. There is also some debate about whether feminism is still needed or not by looking at improvements in women's lives and what is still to be improved. File includes: Powerpoint (with links to appropriate video clips) I like to start the lesson by showing Meghan Trainor 'Dear Future Husband' to allow students to try to guess what we will be studying in the lesson. Within the powerpoint there is also recent adverts to compare to the 1950s to show how little has changed. Also a worksheet on adverts from the 1950s. Students have to find the point of the advert, what has improved for women, and what hasn't improved to help them come to a conclusion about whether feminism is still needed. There is also a document from the Good Housekeeping Guide to show how women were expected to behave in the 1950s. Kahoot link. I have also provided a Kahoot link (in powerpoint) for a fun quiz on the family (overview). Students love Kahoot! Students loved this lesson and worked well with year 10-11. Great for the family topic or feminism in general. Could be adapted for A Level. Any feedback is greatly received.
