About these posters
Key Stage 1 has a poster on the people who help us in our community and one on why we have rules. Key Stage 2 looks at the groups we belong to and gives simple definitions of words such as culture, tradition and identity. Key Stages 3 and 4 have a key concepts poster, covering socialisation, norms, values, status, deviance and stereotypes, and a poster on agents of socialisation. They are useful for PSHE, citizenship and GCSE sociology classrooms, and download as A4 and A3 PDFs.
Questions
Do these match a GCSE specification?
They follow common GCSE sociology usage but are not tied to one board. Check the terms against your specification.
Do the posters cover sociological theories?
No. Theories differ between exam boards, so the posters stick to core concepts.
Are they suitable for PSHE?
Yes. The KS1 and KS2 posters work well in PSHE and citizenship lessons.
Can I print them at A3?
Yes. Every poster comes as A4 and A3 PDF.
