Additional Activity Information
Case and Legislation Lists
These are split into Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3
Tier one cases are the cases students must know. Tier two are the cases they really should know. Tier three cases will help them enhance their essays.
I tell students that if you do everything else perfectly and learn all tier one cases you should get a D. If you do everything perfectly and learn all tier two you will get a B. Then the more tier three you learn the more you will move up into A/A*.
This helps students target their revision and makes the case and legislation load feel less overwhelming.
Case lists include:
Case Name
Facts
Legal Principle (for ELS this is often why it is important or what it is an example of)
Picture
Legislation lists include:
Statute name
Section
Legal principle
Practice Questions
There are 10 mark, 15 mark (evaluation), 5 mark and 15 mark (application) practice questions. These are all newly written for this booklet although may be similar to previous questions they have seen.
There is space to answer each question within the booklet. I encourage students to send me answers for marking as well as self-marking.
Advantages/Disadvantages Table
For ELS topics where students could get a 15 mark evaluation question tables of advantages and disadvantages are included.
Question Structure Flow Charts

Paper: Paper 3
Exam Board: Eduqas
Units: Tort Law, Criminal Law, Contract Law
Question Type: Evaluation Questions
This lesson is designed to be taught to students just before Paper 3 for Eduqas A-Level Law.
It contains a selection of activities that students can complete to help teachers prepare students for their exam.
This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but could be modified to suit evaluation question revision for other exam boards.
This is the contract law option but can easily be modified for human rights by making your own resources.
Activity One
This is a game of jeopardy. A link to the jeopardy game is provided (this is an online game).
Students are given five categories and different points (like real jeopardy). Each square shows an advantage or disadvantage. Students pick their square and then state what topic the advantage/disadvantage relates to. If correct the points can be allocated.
This works well for different numbers of teams or as individuals for small classes.
Activity Two
This is an overview of the paper going through what each part contains. It also advises students to spend 45 minutes on each question.
I recommend giving your students a past paper at this point to ensure they are fully familiar with what they are going to see.
Students are also given some top tips for the evaluation paper and also some generic evaluation points - NEWLY ADDED
Activity Three - NEWLY ADDED
I’ve amended the lesson to add in an advantages and disadvantages table for each topic. These can be given to students to help guide revision.
These are especially good for weaker students who might struggle to come up with evaluation points. I usually print these slides out and hand them to students to be used for last minute revision.
Activity Four
For this activity students will pick one topic to revise.
On a blank piece of paper they write down everything they know about the topic.
They then take one of the mind map sheets provided and add advantages and disadvantages around the outside.
Next they will fit everything they know into the relevant paragraphs.
This activity helps students to recognise that what they already know is enough as well as creating mini essay plans they can revise from
I have included a model one to help
There is a challenge activity that asks them to plan a past paper question
Activity Five
The final activity is a Padlet. You will need to set up your own Padlet and then students can ask any questions they have anonymously. Great for those students who are quiet or feel embarrassed about asking questions.
