Creative Connections: Honeycomb Hexagons
The basic idea underpinning this simple activity is to encourage students to build-up a set of Key Revision Concepts with a visual dimension that should help them understand how and why these concepts can be connected. This is not only useful for revision – both the more-general “end of course” type and the more-specific “end […]
Psychology: Hard-to-Find Classics
For a number of years Dr Julia Russell wrote a Psychology Column for a film distribution company called Uniview and when this company decided to call it a day all the resources she’d created disappeared from the web with nary a sound to indicate they’d ever been there. However, with a display of foresight that, […]
NotAFactsheet: Miscellaneous Methods
Another small batch of NotAFactsheets covering a miscellaneous melange of methods-related stuff – some essential, some less so (but probably nice to know, just in case you want to impress the examiner with your wide-ranging and perceptive grasp of all things methodological. Or maybe not). M9. Quantitative and Qualitative Data M10. Strong and Weak Feminist […]
GCSE SociologyStuff: Roll-it To Recap
If, like me, you’re a fan of games and simulations you might find this simple Sociology game from Steve Bishop worth a look. While some games, such as the Sociology and Psychology Connecting Walls are best played on-line, this is more a pen-and-sticky-notes effort – a simple classroom activity that’s guaranteed to provide hours of fun, […]
NotAFactsheet: Sampling
If there was a competition for the least-loved part of the Sociology Specification it’s a fair bet that sampling would be somewhere off in the far distance, casually looking over its shoulder and taunting its competitors as it limped home in first place. Loathe it or loathe it, however, you just can’t ignore sampling when […]
GCSE Psychology Connecting Walls
If you’re looking for something a little different to encourage your GCSE students to revise, his collection of Psychology Connecting Walls might be just the ticket. The basic mechanics of the quiz are very simple: each wall has 16 elements that can be grouped into 4 different categories. Once all 4 categories have been correctly […]
Connecting Walls Collection
CBSC Sociology has been busy creating and posting a huge number of revision Connecting Walls on Twitter and, in the spirit of “pinching other people’s stuff and sharing it with a wider audience”, I’ve pulled all their tweets together into one handy blog post for your – and your students’ – greater convenience. So, if […]
Connecting Revision Too
If you’ve seen the previous post on Connecting Revision you may have tried the Family Connecting Wall created by Steve Bishop (and maybe even been inspired to think about creating and sharing your own?). He’s now created a new Wall to add to your revising pleasure and this time it’s on Crime and Deviance. As ever […]
NotAFactsheet: Research Ethics
This NotAFactsheet on Research Ethics is a slight departure from previous NotAFactsheets in that it comes in two flavours: 1. The normal “text with box-outs and pictures-if-you’re-lucky” version. 2. An experimental version with an added bit of embedded video (click-the-pic-to-play). Although not ideal, the video is in Flash (.flv) format for reasons that are much […]
Connecting Revision
A “Connecting Wall” grid featured in the British Sociological Association’s Sociology Teacher magazine. If you’re familiar with the BBC Quiz show “Only Connect” you’ll know that one of the most popular elements is the “Connecting Wall” where a team of 3 players is presented with a “wall” containing 16 elements that can be grouped into […]
