Year 13 – Sociology

Head of Subject: Ms C Simmonds


Intended Outcomes

A deeper exploration of some of the more complex parts of society (crime and religion), noting how they impact society as a whole but also how and why different individuals can have vastly different experiences with these aspects of society. 

  • Course Implementation

    Crime and Deviance 

    Students will explore how gender, class and ethnicity impact someone’s experience of the criminal justice system, all while using real life examples. Mini knowledge quizzes and writing tasks that lead to an end of unit assessment. 

    Beliefs in society 

    Students will ponder why we have religion in the modern era when so many key thinkers believed that religion would no longer be needed in this day and age. Mini knowledge quizzes and writing tasks that lead to an end of unit assessment. 

    Research Methods Part 2 

    Final consolidation of key thinkers/movements and what they believe in all while relating back to classical research methods. Mini knowledge quizzes and writing tasks that lead to an end of unit assessment. 

     

     

Learning Impact

Consistent in-class ‘knowledge’ assessments that are peer/self marked with teacher assessments via homework and in-class writing. Application of key knowledge to real life will be of primary focus as students will be able to show how classroom learning is actually a reality!
