Overview of the Paper
Students are given a brief overview of the paper and reminded of the recommended timings for each question.

These are generic points that can be used when students are stuck and cannot think of anything to write. My students have found these really helpful so I hope yours do to!

Swap sheets with the person next to them & then update the sheet with extra information in a second colour

I also normally give students past papers at this point to look through as well and let them lead what we will do, going round and helping, answering questions and teaching anything that I feel like we need to go over again.

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.
