AQA A-level Sociology -Developing AO3 skills - Explicit criticisms and explained analysis
Detailed student led lesson on what is meant by explicit (vs juxtaposed) criticisms and explained analysis and how to demonstrate these high level AO3 skills needed for A*-A answers for AQA exams. The lesson is adapted to stretch and challenge the most able whilst scaffolding to allow pupils who need support the opportunity to access higher level thinking.
INCLUDES:
SIX MODEL PARAGRAPHS- from theory and methods (postmodernism and Marxism), methods in context, crime (punishment), media and family. THOSE WHO DO NOT TEACH FAMILY OR MEDIA will have 4 model paragraphs in total)
ANSWERS FOR ACTIVITIES
AfL
A 7 page information sheet on explicit criticisms and explained analysis from the skills booklets (can be bought separately - includes other guidance and skills for preparing for exams) that explain the two different skills, success criteria with sentence starters of how to demonstrate each and provides brief examples (of explicit criticisms, juxtaposed criticisms, explained analysis, analysis that is limited to an isolated statement). Also includes analysis guidance and sentence starters for research methods paragraphs and guidance of how students might go even further by explaining their criticisms.
NOTE - Activity on slide 8 is challenging. If students struggle too much with it, show answers on slide 9 and move onto the progress check activity that will make clearer how explicit criticisms are written.
NOTE -The focus of evaluations are criticisms for this lesson
RESOURCES CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THE PPT (AND INFO SHEET FROM SKILLS BOOKLET IS ATTACHED AS A WORD DOC)
