Each page contains either:
1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3)
1x 25 Mark Scenario (Paper 2)

How I Use This
I have the entire document printed.
I then hand out random essays to students every week in the run up to their exam. They then have 40 minutes to answer the question/s on their sheet.
This means each student gets a different question. When we go through the essays they’ve been given they therefore get the opportunity to look at essay plans and feedback for several essays rather than just one.
Each essay is numbered at the top of the page. Make sure you get students to write the number on the top of their answer so you know which is which!
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 1 - English Legal Systems
Topic: English Legal Systems & Sources of Law
This lesson is designed to be a last minute revision lesson on ELS & SOL. I use it in the last lesson before the exam (e.g. this year it will be the day before). The lesson is designed to help students see how much they already know and how that knowledge can be used in answers.
Starter
Tier 1 Cases/Legislation Kahoot (link provided in notes of PowerPoint)
Content
Overview of Paper 1 including suggested timings for each question.
NEW UPDATE!
This lesson now includes a brief overview of every topic (one slide per topic) including some key cases and statutes as well as flow charts for the AO2 questions.
This is designed to help ensure that every student at least knows the bare minimum before going into the exam. You can either go through this with students or allow them to use it to support their own revision.
Main Activity
Students will start by each picking a topic.
Then they write down everything they know about that topic on a blank piece of paper.
Using the worksheets they then write down either the flow chart structure (Part A Topics) or evaluation points (Part B Topics).
Students then take the knowledge they know and fit this into each of the ‘paragraph’ headings.
Students can then practice planning a past paper question on each topic.
Plenary
Padlet: Set up a Padlet and give students the link. Students can then ask anonymous questions on ELS. The anonymous nature helps with students who may feel that their question is ‘stupid’ or be too nervous to speak up. Encourage as many questions as possible and make it clear that no question is too stupid!
Additional Resources
I also give students a past paper to look through as I talk through the structure. Although they will have seen these numerous times before this allows them to have a clear look at what the paper will look like and ensure they are fully familiar with the structure before the actual exam.
Includes PowerPoint (with Kahoot link) & worksheets on each topic
