validity, reliability, objectivity, and representation
advantages & disadvantages of primary & secondary data
The next part of the lesson is student led: in pairs or small groups they are to assess strengths and limitations of each type of data.
To consolidate their learning within this lesson there is a practice exam Q at the end of the PowerPoint: ‘Outline and explain two problems of using primary qualitative methods in sociological research. (10 marks)’ There is also a mark scheme included from AQA so there is the possibility of peer-assessment within this lesson.

A thorough and comprehensive revision booklet for the education section of the paper 1 exam, which covers all content they need to know. It includes information for students, and 7 activities ranging from crosswords to essay planning. Last year I published booklets which only included the advanced info, so I have updated them this year to include everything! They worked really well last year to make sure that students were revising early on, and I’m sure they will be as succesful this year too.
I will be using this in lessons with students- instructions on how I plan to do this are in the booklet.
May need the latest version of word or you might need to play around with the formatting. I’ve also uploaded as a pdf to avoid any trouble.
I really hope this is useful to you!

Starter: odd one out. Students need to identify the concept which is the odd one out and justify it with a link between the remaining 3 concepts
Think pair share: Students try to recap on globalisation and make links to social policies.
Handout: Class reading through the handout. Aspects highlighted in bold and purple - key bits for students to focus on and use for their homework!
Planning: Students then plan how they would answer a 10 mark question on their MWB
AO’s: Reminder to students and discussion on how they can identify the AO’s in a piece of work
Example paragraph: Students are presented with an example paragraph and need to highlight the AO’s and annotate WWW and EBI which would help them to improve/write the second paragraph
Homework: Students are to create revision material based on the handout they’ve read over previously and answer a 20 mark exam question for homework.

Based for A Level sociology, A full lesson on the sociology and science debate, based on any relevant textbooks, but ideally AQA A Level Sociology Book 2 by Webb and Westergaard. Includes activities exam question opportunities/self assessment, also differentiated via lesson outcomes.
A powerpoint slide show that examines techniques to improve your essay writing skills.
The Lecture presents some introductory rules about writing sociologically. It is not presented as a complete guide to writing essays, or to the skill domains by which work is assessed.
This slideshow is about skills. There is no printed summary or specific test.
Can be used as revision aid or info sheet - I go through this with them in class, discuss and set for hw to learn. Next lesson we do a test on it. Should be more than enough for decent grade as I have gone through quite a few different books to get the information - evidence of 'pupils (!)' reading around! Hope it helps - please leave a comment
