More GCSE Sociology Revision Stuff
While it’s possible to put-together a very reasonable – and reasonably comprehensive – set of revision resources from stuff that teachers have put on the web, there are a couple of things you should do before committing yourself to using these materials: 1. Check they are for your Specification – you don’t want to be […]
GCSE Revision Booklets
As with A-level Sociology, I’ve previously posted some links to GCSE Revision Resources over the past year or so, since when I seem to have picked-up a whole slew of guides and resources that I though it would be good to post. So here’s the first batch of 10. They’re all in pdf format and […]
A-Level Revision Booklets: 1. Beliefs in Society
On the basis that you can’t have too many revision booklets (although, thinking about it, you probably can) I thought I’d post a few more I’ve somehow managed to collect, starting with three really-quite-comprehensive booklets covering Beliefs in Society (AQA), although they also cover useful stuff on Religion (OCR, Eduqas, CIE etc.). • Beliefs in […]
Activity Mat
To accompany the Generic Learning Mat, I’ve created a complementary Activity Mat focused around a few simple activities that range from practicing paragraph writing to making synoptic connections between concepts, theories and methods. This particular Mat contains 5 activities and it’s again been created in PowerPoint (use the Export function if you want it in […]
Learning Mats: A Generic Version
The Learning Maps we’ve previously posted have rightly proven popular, both because of their quality and because they meet a need for tools that help students to structure their work in a simple and effective way – one that has the added bonus of providing a tightly-organised and highly visual method of revision. Good as […]
Learning Mats
Learning mats – originally laminated sheets containing simple questions, learning prompts and drawing spaces – have been around for some time at the lower (particularly primary) levels of our education system, but with the increasing interest in Knowledge Organisers, which in many respects they resemble, they’re starting to gain some traction at both GCSE and […]
Knowledge Organisers: Media and Methods and Education
Back by popular demand and with a brand-spanking new set of Tables covering media, methods and education. Each Unit is by a different author and the quality is, at times, variable. Media These are pdf files so unless you’ve got a programme that will edit them you’re stuck with the information they have to offer. […]
Yet More Sociology Knowledge Organisers
The Learning Tables and Knowledge Organisers we’ve recently posted were all for the AQA Specification and while there’s a good deal of crossover between this Specification and OCR I thought it would be helpful to those following the latter if they had some KO’s to call their own. These Organisers, all produced by Lucy Cluley, […]
More Sociology Knowledge Organisers
Knowledge Organisers, you may or may not be surprised to learn, are the classroom requirement de nos jours and while some (looking at you Michaela Community School) may like to casually lay claim to the concept / format as being something radically new and different they’ve developed, it really isn’t. Here, for example, is one […]
Psychology Learning Tables | 2
Convention dictates this second set of Learning Tables, primarily the work of Miss G. Banton (with one notable exception that I’ll explain in a moment) follows the first set of Tables and since this is not a rule I’m overly-inclined to break it’s only seems right-and-proper this should be the case. These Tables are broadly-designed […]
Psychology Learning Tables | 1
As with their sociological counterparts, Psychology Learning Tables come in a variety of styles, have been constructed for a range of different reasons and the ones I’ve scoured the web to find relate to different Specifications and exams. Keep these provisos in mind, however, and you’ll find some of these Tables useful – either “as […]
SociologySaviour Blog
I was looking for pictures of Arron Cicoural for a new film we’re editing on Labelling Theory when I stumbled across the rather interesting SociologySaviour Blog, that unfortunately now looks as though it hasn’t been updated since mid-2016. This is something of a shame because the material it contains seems well-written and useful – although […]
Families and Households Learning Tables
In this set of Learning Tables (mainly created by Miss K Elles) the focus is on analysis and evaluation with a section on application left blank. Students can either add their own examples or the Tables can be used within the classroom to discuss possible applications. While the Tables are not as comprehensive as their […]
AQA Family Questions Exam Pack
Hot on the heels of the Education Questions Exam Pack comes another set of exam-style practice questions, this time for the AQA Family Unit. According to the document metadata the pack was created by Miss K Elles and it contains a selection of practice questions based around the 5 different types of question students will […]
AQA Education Questions Exam Pack
The current (2017) AQA Education exam structure asks 5 different types of question: • Define • Using one example, briefly explain • Outline three • Outline and explain two • Applying material from item and your knowledge, evaluate If you’re in the market for a handy pack that gives your students lots of practice at […]
