#40Day Challenge Day 27 – Consensus vs Conflict
I may be slightly out of sync in recent days having posted three questions on one day, but today I am focusing on the ten markers for question 6 on papers 1 and 3. There are so many different combinations of questions that it is worth examining as many different types of questions as I…

#40 Day Challenge Day 26 (belated – because we’re going to Madrid!!!)
In the excitement of watching Liverpool Vs Barcelona, I may have omitted to post about Day 26 of the challenge on the website… I’m apologise. It was an omission, it won’t happen again, but you know…DIVOCK ORIGI!!!! Sorry just had to get that out of my system. Following on from the exhaustion that was caused…

#40 Day Challenge – Day 25 – Triple Threat
I have had lots of requests for options questions (particularly Beliefs in Society) and being one person not to want to disappoint students who are following the challenge, I have roped in my colleague @kateFlat to do a video on how she might answer a 10 mark beliefs in society question. If you haven’t seen…

#40DayChallenge – Day 24 Ethnicity and Crime
Today’s question is one that I see as being a potential question for either a 10 or 30 marker in the upcoming exams. The media focus on knife crime, particularly in London over the past year means that there is a strong possibility that this could be what is seen as a ‘Hot Topic’ question…

#40DayChallenge Day 23 – Crime and Punishment
Today’s question is one of a number of requests I have had to look at in the #40DayChallenge. In 2017 there was a question on Crime prevention and punishment which was essential a Left vs Right Realism argument. Today’s question hints at another approach to punishment – Functionalism. Of course, the role of punishment can…

#40DayChallenge – Day 22 Globalisation and Crime
Today we are moving onto Crime and Deviance for the #40DayChallenge and looking at one of the areas that a lot of students fear coming up. I have done a 30 Mark essay walkthrough on Globalisation and Crime on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-nMhu9lRTU&t=1209s as I had picked it as a potential question for 2018 and it is still…

#40 DayChallenge Day 21
Today’s question is back onto Families and Households. In the next few days I will start to look at some of the Crime and Deviance Item questions before moving finally onto some of the option for Paper 2. My specialist areas are global development and media, so I am hoping to get a little help…

#40DayChallenge – Day 20 – Positivism
Today is Day 20 of the #40DayChallenge – the half way point. I am concluding the 10 mark theory and methods questions today as I will have covered 10 possible questions and want to move on to some more potential 10 markers for Crime, Media and Global Development – sorry I don’t teach beliefs so…

#40 Day Challenge Day 19 – Ageing Population and Family
Nearly at the half-way point with just 22 days of revision to go until the Paper 1 exam on May 22nd. Today I have set the challenge of making the link between the ageing population and changes in the family. These are from 2 different specification points so there is a good possibility of this…

#40DayChallenge – Day 18 Feminism
In the past, short answer questions on the major theories were not something students would expect. However, last year one of the questions for students was to outline and explain two ways the Functionalism was limited in explaining contemporary society which opened up a new avenue for questioning from AQA. This type of question might…
