This covers the Applied Law 2017 course. Each unit is summarised to introduce students to what they will be learning (Unit 1,2, 3 and 4) and for each unit there is a minimum of 5 tasks (21 tasks in total as there are 6 tasks for unit 3 with it being bigger). Examples include researching key cases and writing a news report on it, creating a job advert for a judge, creating a critical analysis of key legal issues and sentencing activities etc. In total this could be used to cover a good couple of weeks worth of work and serves as a good introduction to the course too.
Each homework includes a self assessment of objectives for the topics included (GCSE Business Edexcel Theme 1 spec is followed) then a consolidation task which is differentiated to suit all needs. There is then an apply task which is an exam question from sample assessments/past exams from Edexcel GCSE Business. Finally, there is a space for teacher feedback and a tick box for next steps you would like the student to take. There is also a ‘three minute throwback’ on each HW to interleave from previous topics. There are 17 homeworks all together to cover the whole year to print out and give to students every 2 weeks. All resources on top of HW sheets needed are included.
This should take a minimum of two lessons, but could potentially be spread over 4/5. Includes starter, plenty of review tasks and two demonstrate tasks. Lots of information around the key principles of judicial precedent including ratio decidendi, obiter dicta, stare decisis and the process of binding, as well of the power of the courts with overruling/distinguishing and reversing.
Resource to help that can be used as ‘transition’ work from year 11 to 12 for those who are interested in studying law. Students review evidence then take on the role of a defence or prosection barrister. It is based on making a murderer but also goes over the role of UK courts and the function of those involved. Please note this is more to spark interest in the subject but also allows an opportunity to assess critical and analytical skills! Should take students a day or 2.
Covers civil partnerships and the law surrounding it with case law, compares to marriage and has demonstrate/apply tasks/review tasks throughout. Should take 2 lessons.
Covers marriage (including marriage restrictions and procedure etc) starts with a look at the traditional view on marriage in the UK and how that has changed, the current law with demonstrate/application tasks etc. Should take around 3 lessons.
Covers grounds and bars on/for divorce, dissolution and annulment with 4 full lessons - I stretched this to 6 lessons - activities, application to cases, assessments and challenges etc.
Working in pairs students take it in pairs to choose a box they want their ‘counter’ in. They answer the question in that box from the question grid onto the correlating box on the answer grid. The partner checks the answer and if they get it right they highlight the box as theirs.
Can challenge by connect 5 or 6 instead.
Students must answer the question from the question grid in the correlating box on the blank answer grid. The partner must check the answer is right and then the answering student highlights it as their if they get it correct.
Can increase to connect 5 or 6 to add challenge.
