Units: Tort Law, Criminal Law, Contract Law
Question Type: Evaluation Questions
This lesson is designed to be taught to students just before Paper 3 for Eduqas A-Level Law.
It contains a selection of activities that students can complete to help teachers prepare students for their exam.
This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but could be modified to suit evaluation question revision for other exam boards.
This is the contract law option but can easily be modified for human rights by making your own resources.
Activity One
This is a game of jeopardy. A link to the jeopardy game is provided (this is an online game).
Students are given five categories and different points (like real jeopardy). Each square shows an advantage or disadvantage. Students pick their square and then state what topic the advantage/disadvantage relates to. If correct the points can be allocated.
This works well for different numbers of teams or as individuals for small classes.
Activity Two
This is an overview of the paper going through what each part contains. It also advises students to spend 45 minutes on each question.
I recommend giving your students a past paper at this point to ensure they are fully familiar with what they are going to see.
Students are also given some top tips for the evaluation paper and also some generic evaluation points - NEWLY ADDED
Activity Three - NEWLY ADDED
I’ve amended the lesson to add in an advantages and disadvantages table for each topic. These can be given to students to help guide revision.
These are especially good for weaker students who might struggle to come up with evaluation points. I usually print these slides out and hand them to students to be used for last minute revision.
Activity Four
For this activity students will pick one topic to revise.
On a blank piece of paper they write down everything they know about the topic.
They then take one of the mind map sheets provided and add advantages and disadvantages around the outside.
Next they will fit everything they know into the relevant paragraphs.
This activity helps students to recognise that what they already know is enough as well as creating mini essay plans they can revise from
I have included a model one to help
There is a challenge activity that asks them to plan a past paper question
Activity Five
The final activity is a Padlet. You will need to set up your own Padlet and then students can ask any questions they have anonymously. Great for those students who are quiet or feel embarrassed about asking questions.
This lesson is designed to help students practice their evaluation skills in preparation for Paper 3: Perspectives on Substantive Law.
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

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
