Sociology in Focus for A2: Media Resources

Another set of free resources to complement the Sociology in Focus For A2 textbook, this batch relates to the Mass Media option:

Overview Map: An introductory map that provides a very general overview of the Module content.

Revision Maps: These Unit Maps go into much more depth and detail about the content covered throughout the Module and they have a number of uses, not least as a way of introducing the content of each Unit.

Activity Answers: If you use the activities that have been strategically placed throughout the Module, you’ll probably need some answers. Luckily, I’ve created some so you don’t have to.

Worksheets: Can be used to set individual and group text-based tasks to consolidate and check learning. These are organised around three activity types:

Consolidate, designed for individual work to ensure students have “grasped the basics”.

Apply, designed to promote analysis, discussion and application through small-group work.

Evaluate, designed for whole-class discussions around arguments / evidence for and against a question.

Exam Focus provides Top Tips from a Senior Examiner. Be aware, however, that the specific types of questions asked may have changed in the 10 years since this text was published. There are sufficient generic tips, however, to make this section a worthwhile download.
