L4: The age of Criminal Responsibility

AQA GCSE Citizenship- Topic 2- Rights & Responsibilities.

Lessons are planned to be delivered by non-specialists, they do not require any textbooks. Lessons are planned for 60 minutes unless stated in the description below. They incorporate a retrieval grid, teacher input, and a practice task that links to either direct exam questions, or practicing an exam based skill.

Lesson 4: The Age of Criminal Responsibility Looking at the difference in ages of criminal responsibility across the UK, and a consideration of the reasons for Scotland’s increase. The lesson includes a documentary on Jamie Bulger, which students write a report about. If this is watched, this lesson could be stretched over 3 lessons. I however teach this over a double and make the report a homework task. Depends on your curriculum time.
