This student book is tailored to the AS and A level specification from OCR beginning in September 2000. The student book has been developed from "Sociology in Perspective", with chapters now organized and updated to match the structure of the OCR specification. Information in the student book uses bullet points and sub-headings to make it accessible. All of the material has been updated and activities have been revised to match the new assessment requirements. Where activities meet the new Key Skills requirements, this is clearly flagged. A new chapter on study skills has also been added.

This resource file includes: an introduction explaining how to use the file and match the work to your syllabus; diagrams that can be copied onto overhead transparencies; worked up discussion points for each of the chapters in the book, with grids summarising the key points; summary sheets for revision of key concepts; scheme of work examples; teaching and learning styles suggestions with lesson suggestions for each chapter and help with assessment; study skills help; and research and coursework tasks.
