Sociology in Focus for A2: Beliefs in Society Resources
Having completed the resources for the free AS Textbook it now leaves me free to focus on the last couple of resource sets for the equally-free A2 Textbook. Having posted resources for Media, Crime and Methodology (which sounds like an interesting module but is, in reality, just three different sets of resources), the penultimate set […]
Mass Media 2 | The Ownership and Control Debate
Another set of Notes in the Mass Media series (following the initial Defining and Researching the Media set) that fell-victim to a dispute between the Publisher* who commissioned them and an Exam Board who, for reasons of personal probity shall remained unnamed**, these divide the ownership and control debate into three main sections: 1. Defining […]
Mass Media 1 | Defining and Researching
Kicking my heels between edits I thought I might dig-out some old Notes (they were originally written around 5 years ago for a professional publishing project that, for one reason or another, never came together) and knock them into some sort of shape in the sincere belief that someone might find them useful. The “shape […]
Psychology Learning Tables | 8
Another batch of lovingly-curated and assiduously alphabetised Learning Tables / Knowledge Organisers to keep your appetite for these very useful tools whetted, if not entirely satiated. As usual (if you missed the previous sets of Tables you can check them out here) the tables are a mix of styles – some are plain Notes, others […]
Psychology Learning Tables | 7
I haven’t posted any new Psychology Learning Tables / Knowledge Organisers* for a while (because I’ve been too busy / lazy**) so I thought it was about time I roused myself sufficiently to put another batch together based, once again, on the tried-and-trusted “alphabetical list” method (i.e. they’re in no particular order except that ordained […]
Graphic Organiser: W3 | Paragrapher
This organiser is based around the W3 (What? Why? Where?) method of structuring information and ideas and it can be used in two main ways: Firstly, as a way of preparing structured notes about a theory, method or concept. Secondly as a means of creating a solid, consistent, paragraph structure for answering essay-type questions (questions […]
Sociology in Focus for AS: Methods Resources
The final set of resources to accompany the free Sociology in Focus AS textbook is for Research Methods aka “Everyone’s Favourite Module” (Said no-one. Ever). Although the textbook is aimed at AQA, everyone, everywhere, does research methods so there’s little here that won’t be familiar, whatever the Specification. Probably. I’d be inclined to check, though.Just-in-case. […]
Religion: Two New Films
We’ve added a couple of new Religion films to the Sociology section of the site with a couple more (Secularisation / Religion and Spirituality] currently at the scripting stage. The first, Religion: What It Is and What It Does, features Professor Eileen Barker (of “Making of a Moonie” fame). It’s a basic introduction to two […]
Sociology in Focus for AS: Education and Methods
Continuing to plough the long and lonely furrow that is AS Sociology, today’s offering is a whole bunch of resources for Education with Research Methods. These complement the Sociology in Focus for AS textbook you can pick-up for absolutely nothing if you click the link and then click another link to download it. You might […]
Graphic Organiser: Compare and Contrast
The latest post in the series devoted to graphic organisers sees the long-overdue introduction of the Venn diagram – a classic form of graphic organiser that provides a simple, visual, way to compare and contrast two (or sometimes more) ideas. It’s a type that works well with something like sociological perspectives where students are frequently […]
