AQA GCSE Psychology: Psychological Problems Workbook/Booklet
This editable 31 page workbook is perfect for independent study or guiding students throughout the lesson, for experienced and new teachers alike.
On Page 2 and 3 is the specification, with three faces so they can RAG rate their understanding throughout the topic. It also has a column they can tick to indicate that they have revised each area. On Pages 4-5 is a glossary which could be used as revision or in lesson as a key terms test.
On each page there is space for students to complete information or activities to demonstrate their understanding and completion of the topic.
When printing, I would recommend converting the PowerPoint to PDF as this may cause some formatting issues with some printers.
