Give each person or pair of students (same table) a miniature whiteboard, board marker pen, a board rubber, and worksheet A.
Give out worksheet A for each student/pair and ask the students to read page 1 (study 1) ONLY (no need to go further). While they are reading, make sure you have the PowerPoint questions ready to be shown on a whiteboard display.
For each page (study) there are several questions. Display the first question from the PowerPoint to the students. The students will now need to look for the answer. The question will tell you how many words they need to find for the answer (this is shown in brackets underneath the question). Once they have found the answer, they then write this down on the white board.
The first student/pair to display the answer above their head wins. They get one point. You will need to keep a score.
Go through all the questions set for page 1. At the left-hand bottom corner on the PowerPoint, you will see ‘End of Questions’ on some of the slides. This means there are no more questions to be asked for that page on the information sheet. The students will now need to read the next information page (e.g., page 2). Once they have read this, the next questions are given and so on.

Lesson resources for the Sign Test:
PowerPoint explaining how to work out the sign test.
I teach the sign test at the end of inferential statistics when the students have a better understand what is meant by probability, significance and table of critical values as this make more sense to me. This PowerPoint does not explain these term (e.g. significance, probability, so the students what have covrered this already - or see my other resources for this).

Book description
AQA Sociology BRILLIANT EXAM NOTES: Beliefs in Society: The Complete Revision and Study Book. This book covers the following topic for the AQA A-level sociology (Year 2): Beliefs in Society. Each section contains all the information that you will need for the AQA sociology exam. At the end of each section, we provide a comprehensive list of exam questions. These eBooks have been written by examiners and experienced teachers using their expertise to help students achieve the best possible grade in their exam. These exam notes have been carefully written using student friendly language and a layout that students will find easy to understand. Each topic has been broken down into exam notes which are more concise than general sociology text books but more comprehensive than standard revision guides. This content in this book follows the latest AQA sociology specification.
How to get an A DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH THE EVALUATION PART OF THE EXAM
Contrary to popular belief, learning and memorising lots of facts and theories will not get you a grade A or B in your exam. To achieve the highest grades possible, the exam requires you to be able to ‘analyse’ and ‘evaluate’ sociological knowledge, this does not mean jotting down a few brief criticisms at the end of your essay. The analysis and evaluation that you make, needs to be expanded upon and explained in an effective manner. With this in mind, we have written a lot of the evaluation points using the three-step-rule: identify, expand and conclude. We have done this for you in this book to demonstrate what a ‘developed’ evaluation point looks like. Please try and remember this technique and demonstrate it in your exam to achieve the highest grade possible.
LOTS OF EXAM QUESTIONS
We have given you lots of exam questions at the end of each exam note to practise. We have covered most of the different types of questions you may be asked for each topic both at AS and at A Level. If you are taking the A level course, it is a good way of testing and practising both your knowledge and examination skills. You may realise some of the questions require the same answers, but are worded differently, this was deliberate, just so you are familiar with the different way the questions could be worded.
