This is designed for the Eduqas exam board and the Contract Law option.
This requires students to have studied all of the content but could be adapted to suit a group that hasn’t yet finished it.
Starter
Ten questions for students to answer covering a variety of areas of law.
Answers are on the following slide.
Evaluation Tips
Slide of top evaluation tips
Slide of generic evaluation points - these are points that students can make if they cannot think of anything or have a brain freeze in the exam
Activity 1 - Essay Plan Match-Up
In pairs students will be given an essay title and then arguments for and against.
They should use these arguments to create an essay plan answering the question.
Students should use this structure:
Point
Counter-Point
Point
This will need printing and cutting up. I recommend laminating and tying together with bands so they can be reused
Activity 2 - Ideas for Reform
Create a mind-map of reform proposals for each of the areas of law listed.
There are three areas of law listed for tort, criminal and contract
Activity 3 - Essay Practice
Create an essay plan for each of the essay questions listed.
Students can work individually, in groups or pairs.
There are three essay questions listed for tort, criminal and contract.
Plenary
The plenary is an evaluation Kahoot.
An evaluation point is displayed and students should select the legal authority that supports the point.
The link to the Kahoot is provided in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
Topic: Chanukah
Level: Key Stage Three
Unit: Judaism
This is a great end of term lesson for the Autumn term. It focuses on the topic of Chanukah and is designed to fit into a Judaism scheme of work.
Students are expected to have some prior knowledge of Judaism although this can only be a few lessons.
The lesson goes through the history of Chanukah as well as some of the traditions. It then allows students to spend time making Chanukah cards.
Lesson Activities
**Starter: **Guess Who?
Activity One: Watch video and write summary of the story of Chanukah
Activity Two: Pick two things Jews do during Chanukah and explain why they do them
Main Activity: Make Chanukah cards

Exam Board: AQA
This is a revision lesson for Islam beliefs. This can be used for revision in either Year 10 or Year 11 of the GCSE course.
The lesson focuses on Islam Beliefs only. This is designed for the AQA GCSE but is general enough that it could suit other exam boards as well.

Plenary: Scavenger hunt
Making connections and scavenger hunt activities are included.

Planning sheet for 12 marker is included
This induction lesson is designed to be delivered to Year 11 students who will be studying A-Level Law in Year 12.
It is designed for the Eduqas syllabus with contract law option but can easily be modified to suit other exam boards and human rights

Slide 3: Requirements for lessons
Slide 4: What to expect

Students are given the definition of murder and theft. They are then shown five small scenarios. Students have to discuss whether they think that the person has committed murder/theft.
The scenarios pick up on key controversial topics within that area such as double transfer of malice, or theft of money.
The PowerPoint is ridiculously cute and Kawaii, enjoy :)

Updated 25/03/24 to include 2023 questions
Each page contains either:
1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3)
1x 25 Mark Scenario (Paper 2)
2x 5 Mark + 1x 15 Mark Sources of Law (Paper 1)
1x 10 Mark + 1x 15 Mark English Legal Systems (Paper 1)
There are 80 pages in total.
How I Use This
I have the entire document printed.
I then hand out random essays to students every week in the run up to their exam. They then have 40 minutes to answer the question/s on their sheet.
This means each student gets a different question. When we go through the essays they’ve been given they therefore get the opportunity to look at essay plans and feedback for several essays rather than just one.
Each essay is numbered at the top of the page. Make sure you get students to write the number on the top of their answer so you know which is which!

Exam Board: Eduqas
Unit: Unit 1: English Legal Systems
This PowerPoint is a great resource to help with exam practice or to use as starters and plenaries throughout the two years.
Included are 64 5-Mark questions covering every topic studied as part of the Sources of Law element of English Legal Systems.
Each question has a model plan to accompany it.
Note: You may teach slightly different examples so do go through and update with your own examples where necessary
How I Use This Resource
Revision practice: These can be given to students and they can have 10 minutes to answer the question and then self-mark using the model plan as part of revision
Starter/plenary: These can be copied into lessons or thrown on the board as starters/plenaries
Time fillers: Got 10 minutes left at the end of a lesson? Throw a question on the board and get them to do it!
Mock exam planning: They can be copied and pasted into DIRT PowerPoints for mock exams to save you having to plan answers
Independent revision: Students can use them to revise & practice 5-mark questions
Targeted revision: My students often struggle with the 5-markers as they see them as less important so these help them to focus on revision
This is designed to cover potentially any question that can come up but I recommend adding in questions if a new one pops up or one with odd wording appears that isn’t covered in the PowerPoint.

Teacher Note: The topics in this lesson are very emotive, please ensure you’ve looked through the whole lesson & watched the videos in advance, especially if you are personally impacted by these issues. There is a content warning at the start & I always recommend talking to students about how to address these issues sensitively and appropriately before teaching
