Sociology in Focus for AS: Family Resources

This second set of free resources for users of the Sociology in Focus For AS textbook covers the ever-popular Families and Households Module and includes the following:

Overview Map: A basic spider diagram you can use if you want to give students a broad overview of the content to be covered in the Module.

Revision Maps: Further, more-detailed, spider diagrams that map specific content to each Unit in the Module. These give students a broad indication of the work to be covered in each Module and can also be used as a handy revision aid.

Activity Answers: Complete, author-approved, answers to the questions that appear throughout the Module. A major time-saver when it comes to marking or an easy way for students to self-check their answers? The choice is yours.

Worksheets: Setting your students text-based tasks (individually and collectively) can be a useful way of checking learning or starting a discussion going. Each Worksheet is designed around three different activities:

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.
