4 carousel activities (1 at each station) for students to complete to work out positives and negatives of the biological explanation of unipolar depression.
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.
A great way of recapping and checking knowledge on measurements of crime.
Connect 4 style game based on statements about the three measurements of crime.

This is a sorting activity. Students put into groups and have to sort the slips into Approach, Name and Year, Aim, Procedure (1,2, or 3 slips), Results (1, 2 or 3 slips), Group design, Research method, 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage. There are also 7 red herrings that don't fit in any of the groups.
To help students, keep checking their red herring pile. Tell them if they are right or wrong on the red herrings every so often.
Students had great fun doing this. I put up a prize for the winning team. Took around 45 mins but students enjoyed it and took a lot from it.
There are two attached files: one in colour for the teacher to distinguish between the different approaches) and one in black and white for students to sort through.
Great for paper 3, comparing the different approaches and classic studies. It covers, Sherif, Baddeley, Raine, Watson and Rayner and Rosenhan
