This is a pick and mix style lesson that runs through all the evaluation points for contract law theory. This is designed to support students with their 15 mark answers in their AQA A-Level exam.
I usually go through the lesson and pick out activities, covering certain topics such as morality, justice and society and in more detail. I ensure I’ve given students enough detail that they can easily answer a 15 mark question on the topic.
The lesson is long but is really helpful for student revision - it allows them to highlight some key arguments that can be used in the 15 mark questions for contract law.
There are appropriate starter and plenary activities that can be used to split over several lessons.
There is a practice essay at the end.

Unit: Tort Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13 (or late Year 12).
Students are given a set of cards for a particular topic and then have to sort them into the correct structure for the problem (scenario) question.
How I Use These Cards
I put students in pairs/small groups and give them each one topic. Once they have correctly sorted it they can do the next topic. The group with the most complete topics at the end of 3 minutes gets a prize.
Printing Notes
Set your printer to: Print Along Short Edge
This will mean the cards are printed flipped so that the back matches the front! If you do long edge then this won’t work. I recommend doing a test print of pages 1 & 2 first to ensure your formatting is working!
Topic: Criminal Appeals

Marks: 8 Marks
Exam Board: OCR
This is a practice exam question based on the 8 mark style knowledge questions from Paper 1. This is designed for the OCR exam board.

The essay is designed to be given to students a week in advance to then sit in class. I give students 10 minutes to complete this answer (15 can be used if it is their first essay but in the real exam they should spend no more than 12 minutes on an 8 mark answer).

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 Name
Facts
Legal Principle (for ELS this is often why it is important or what it is an example of)
Picture
Legislation lists include:
