This PowerPoint is a great general resource for all A-Level subjects that are essay based.
It was originally designed for A-Level Law but I have also used it for A-Level Religious Studies. You may want to edit it slightly for your own subject but it is vague enough in its terminology that it can be used for almost anything without editing!
The short PowerPoint goes through the ten steps necessary to prep for an in class essay, breaking each step down. This is great for Year 12 students who do not yet have the skills to prepare for essays effectively.
Steps included are:
Compile Information
Create a Rough Plan
Create Your Final Plan
First Timed Practice
Revise Plan
Write Without Notes & Mark
Revise Plan
Timed Practice Without Notes & Mark
Revise
Final Essay
I recommend adding some modeling into the lesson which focuses on your specific subject.

This document contains all the past paper questions from Eduqas A-Level Law exams.
This is for the contract option (no human rights questions are included).
The questions have been organised so that students can sit 40 minute blind essays.
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!
