Is this a 30/30 answer

[@fizzah4619]

hi can you please predict questions that will come up for aqa alevel sociology p1,p2,p3

[@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY]

It’s very hard to predict what might come up. Instead practice past questions and consider how they may be asked from a different angle. Often topics and question are repeated or rephrased. Eg Documents was asked two years on the bounce.

[@manjunathjeerla3687]

Thank you 🙏

[@ba1ley4]

for each main paragraph you generally use the PEEC structure, but what about the overall structure of a 30 marker? is it 1 general para for intro, 4-6 for main including item twice, and 1 hefty para for conclusion?

[@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY]

Yes brief intro … 4/6 main para (make sure you show knowledge , application to q, and analysis/eval in each paragraph , ending with a reasoned conclusion. :-)

@@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY thanks so much for the reassurance! thankful to have you guide me and others ☺️

[@Terry-xu5zu]

Hi for analysis is it okay to keep saying therefore …. Therefore ….therefore for 4-6 chains and then evaluation .

[@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY]

You could say ‘this means..’ ‘as a result’ …

[@LindaAndrews-ly1qf]

How many paragraphs are you supposed to write? Also, do you need to include any quotes?

[@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY]

Great question. For a 30 main aim for about 5 main paragraphs with a conclusion.

@@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY how long does the paragrphs have to be

[@swldnsstory9843]

Does it matter if you switch between internal/external e.g. your first paragraph starts with an internal factor but then your second paragraph starts with an external factor because my teacher always marks me down when I do this bcs she says i'm switching my AO1s and AO3s

[@TheTEACHERSOCIOLOGY]

Depends on the question. This one was sociological explanations (that could be either internal or external) BUT if the question was external factors … that would be your ao1 and the internal would be used as ao3
