This template is designed for A-Level law but would suit all subjects that have evaluation style questions. The template helps students to structure their answer, with clear space for evaluation and evidence to support arguments. It also helps students get used to writing the start and finish of their paragraphs using the wording of the question so as to show clear links. Looks great in colour but prints fine in black and white.

This template is a brilliant resource to help support students at KS3 and KS4 Religious Education when looking at Bible verses. It can be printed, stuck in books and then filled in. You could even ask them to create a folder or book just with these in for each bit of key scripture at GCSE. Can also be used to support A-Level. It is also great fun for Bible journalling!
