These bookmarks contain a set of top tips for your students to remind them of key advice during assessments which can be simply printed and laminated e.g. A01 and A02, concluding studies, PECs. They are able to be altered to suit your students.
This resource requires students to work in pairs or groups to consider which circle each behaviour fits into - Morally wrong (blue circle) or Illegal (red circle). The students should find this task difficult as there are several behaviours which could be in both. This is your chance to introduce the students to the relationship between law and morals, specifically the idea that a Venn diagram would be a more suitable method of categorising the behaviours and link it to Sir John Salmond’s idea of two intersecting circles. You could ask the students to create a list of behaviours they struggled to place in the middle of the two circles and identify these as examples of primary law’.
Behaviours include (but are not limited to): Murder, cheating in a game, downloading movies illegally, killing an animal for food, spitting, cannabis use.
You will need to print the resource and laminate the 3 A3 pages then cut out the behaviours and the two circles.
The resource comprises a Venn diagram, questions, tables and fill-in-the-blanks tasks for students to complete to revise the law and morals topic. The worksheet consists of four pages.

This activity can be done individually, in pairs or small groups depending on the students' level of knowledge. It is a fun task to do as part of a revision lesson and can be promoted as a 'pub quiz.' Students find this task entertaining and enjoyable; the best part is they don't realise they're learning!
