Legal Studies – Criminal Law Unit Plan, Scope and Sequence and LISC - Baden-Clay case

My school runs a 10 Legal Studies elective designed to give students a taste of Senior Legal Studies.

This is for a unit designed to give students foundational knowledge about criminal law with a focus on an intimate partner homicide case from Brisbane, Queensland.

What is included:

1. Scope and Sequence – lays out the topics taught in each lesson across the 10-week term. There are 2 lessons a week. Some of these lessons are also available for sale at my store.

2. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria Handout – included on learning wall and printed in A5 for students to glue into their books and refer to throughout the unit.

3. Unit Plan – which contains:
   • Unit description
   • Assessment details (formative and summative)
   • Suggested resources (textbooks, websites, videos etc.)
   • Teaching and learning cycle
   • Reflection questions for teachers at the end of the unit

A resource which I think Legal Studies teachers will find helpful. If you use it, and like it, please give me a positive star rating / review.
