This Power Point is a bit of fun and a break from our everyday curriculum. This resource can be used with lower year groups as a marketing tool, or as part of Sociology club, or with GCSE year 9 groups. The slides aim to encourage students to think about the representation of gender, sexuality, ethnicity and the body in relation to Halloween. Additionally, there are a few slides which prompt students to focus on the agencies of socialisation and their role in teaching norms and values surrounding Halloween. The Power Point is not designed to be taught in one lesson. Instead, you can pick and select the specific areas you would like to teach and deliver (this includes gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity or body and mental health). Due to this, the lesson objectives are quite vague and generic. You may wish to change these to suit your requirements. There are tasks embedded within the slides with supporting notes. There are progress check slides and visual and discussion based activities. Content and activities are summarised below: Agencies of Socialisation: Discussion concerning the 'deviant' norms and values encouraged within AOS during Halloween. Interactive notebook activity. See Word Doc. Gender activity: Silly to 'sexy'. Female identity and the Halloween costumes. Students create age appropriate costumes aimed at an 8 year old. Sexuality: Discussion based on 'heteronormativity'. Race and ethnicity: Discussion based on racist Halloween costumes. Followed by a literacy based activity where students write a letter of complaint to a Costume Company. Body and mental health: Students focus on a contemporary debate and create a promotional campaign. There are many more topics we can explore as Sociologists, but this resource is a nice little starting point, encouraging higher thinking skills and the development of sociological awareness. AO2 skills are tested throughout. Have fun with it.

Please see the notes for progress check questions and answers. Additional information and links to websites and clips can also be found in the notes. My students thoroughly enjoyed these lessons, and WCC is their strongest area because of it.

This is a handy 20 page revision activity booklet for students to complete at home or during lesson. The booklet aims to recap module 1 (Key Concepts) with reference to exam questions, a RAG checklist and an personal AFL log to track exam progress. Additionally, there is an exam help sheet. This lists several exam questions (all have been created after researching past papers with application to the new spec) with a break down of AO1 and AO2 skills, sentence starters and tips on how to answer a question. This resource is aimed at Eduqas, but can be tweaked and adapted to fit other exam boards. With regards to the booklet, I printed A5 copies for my students to take home. I recommend printing smaller copies to save on printing budgets, and students seem to prefer them.

This lesson can take between 1 and 3 sessions. It is aimed at GCSE Eduqas Sociology students but can be used with other exam boards too.

After calculating and reviewing their results, students will then discuss the strengths and weaknesses to this method using their own experiences. Always read the notes at the bottom of the slides.

As Eduqas teachers are aware, it's pretty difficult to cover and teach all areas of life during lesson time. Last year, I covered the main areas of life (Education and Work) and encouraged students to research the other areas independently. The Power Point attached instructs and encourages students to research alternative areas of life using resources available to them. You can do this in lesson time, but I would recommend setting this as homework. My students were given interactive templates to help them on their way. See attached.

This will add a little competition to the end of your lesson- which is always good fun! You may wish to print off slide 7 for students to stick in their exercise books. On slide 9, there is an activity that involves watching a clip from Idiot Abroad (Season 1, Episode 4 Mexico). There is a link to an uncensored clip (a few swear words) to show Easter Sunday Fireworks in Mexico. Any episode of Idiot Abroad can be used to complete the task on slide 9. Activities are differentiated with ‘You must, You should and You could’. Slide 13 has sample multiple choice exam questions (like section one on the Eduqas paper).

This is an introductory lesson to GCSE Sociology. It is aimed at year 9 and encourages students to think about what Sociology includes and why sociologists study.
