A relatively simple (but colourful and minimally-animated) Presentation outlining nuclear, extended, reconstituted and single-parent family structures. Designed for classroom use as an introduction to these ideas (and to save you having to write the same old badly-drawn information on the white board...) |

Yes, I know there's an awful lot of Notes in this section (that's "awful" in the "loads of" sense rather than the "not very good" sense). That's why I've put this little advert here, to draw your attention to the fact that you get all of the above - and more - in this textbook. But designed in a way that covers all aspects of the AQA AS Family and Households specification. Concisely. But with no loss of quality. Thank you. |
