My name is Ms Little and I teach GCSE and A Level Sociology. I'm Head of Sociology and Psychology & Head of Years 12 and 13 at USF.
In my shop you will find Sociology and Tutor time resources aimed at Secondary and Sixth Form students. I follow the new Eduqas exam board, so most Sociology resources available in my shop are based on this specification. Eduqas course content is similar to other exam boards and therefore transferable.
Happy Shopping!

This resource is a PowerPoint with several interactive tasks embedded within the slides. The lesson is aimed at year 9 GCSE Sociology students with a focus on ‘culture’ and ‘norms’. The lesson was made with the Eduqas exam board in mind, however it does fit other GCSE course- not slide 13 (Eduqas exam questions).
For this lesson, you will need scissors, glue, dictionaries, mini wipe-boards and pens. For the plenary you may prefer to use buzzers if you have them. 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 resource is aimed at year 9 GCSE Sociology students.
There are 3 lessons which concentrate on the introduction of secondary agents of socialisation: Education, Media, Work, Religion and Peer groups.
This resource has 5 exam questions with model answers along with homework activities and interactive notebook tasks. There are progress checks with prompt questions in the notes. Additionally there are several clips and interactive based challenges. Links to clips can be found in the notes.
Each morning, during registration, I like to freeze a notice slide on the interactive board. The slide will contain the date, important notices and or instructions, an activity, reminders, an inspirational quote and usually some trivia for students to read.
This resource includes 17 slides to use during registration for October 2017. There are no slides during the half term week. Each editable slide states the date, a famous birthday, references either to a key event in history or a key awareness day and also a motivational, mindful or happiness quote.
With one key notice slide, students can organise themselves accordingly during registration while you can carry on with the register, mentoring, emails etc..
Some slides include the birthdays of famous singers and artists. I like to play music from the artist during registration. This is something for you to consider.
Each slide has space for you to type in your own notices, activity and reminders.
I have additionally attached two sample slides from October 2016 that I used with my form.
Hope you find it useful.

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.
