Guidance notes

Use Hectic Teacher Sociology to access revision material. The core text book provides the content that will need to be learnt in order to access the exam papers above.

AS and A-level Sociology specifications now use 10-mark questions. There are two types: ‘Outline and explain two…’, and ‘Applying material from item X, analyse two…’. This resource will help you understand both types of 10-mark questions so you can prepare your students.

Things to remember about 10-mark questions:

• Students should write in continuous prose.

• Students may benefit from expressing each of their two points in at least two separate paragraphs.

• Using an extended word template approach may be useful, as would be used in longer answer questions, eg PEEL: Point, Explanation, Evidence, Link (back to question).

• All three assessment objectives are assessed within these questions.
