This crib sheet is designed to help support students as they study contract law remedies.
It can be useful for structuring notes in class, as a revision activity or as a homework task.
The sheet looks great printed in colour but also prints fine in black and white.
Boxes to complete:
What are the limitations on the availability of damages?

These placemats are a great plenary activity for lessons on consideration.
Students can pick questions to answer for the sheet, have questions allocated or have to answer all of the questions.
There are different colours for each question to help with distinction.
The questions all test different areas of consideration as well as different skills with both evaluation and application style questions.
I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following an evaluation essay on consideration.
Designed for the Eduqas exam board but would suit other exam boards as well.
This activity asks students to research cases on a particular topic and find a case for each of the headings.
This can be useful as a revision activity, as a flipped learning or home learning activity, a homework task or as a starter task when beginning a new topic.
There are two versions of the worksheet, each with different questions. You can split these up amongst the class, give everyone the same one or give everyone a two paged task if you want it to last longer.
I recommend allocating students a topic.
Students then research seven different cases, one for each of the headings. Some may be harder than others depending on the topic!
This requires some knowledge of law and how the legal system works. I would expect students to have studied English Legal Systems before doing it.
Unit: Criminal Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13.
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.
Although based on Eduqas these are suitable for all exam boards, although you may want to pick out any topics that you do not study.
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!
