This is the 6th lesson in this series for Yr12 AQA Sociology Family. I created it for 1st Lock Down. It’s broken down into **3 one hour+ lessons. ** I used this with my 3 Year 12 groups, they found it easy to follow and I believe it develops a good level of knowledge and understanding, and importantly encourages students to do something with this developed knowledge to help make links and develop analytical and evaluative skills.
