These resources are for the BTEC National Applied Law course (Pearson 2017 specification). *The lesson materials cover: Unit 4 Family Law: An Introduction * These resources contain a lesson power point along with activities and homework to prepare students for the whole unit of learning. The activities are designed to get students talking about the wider aspects of law. Before, teaching the specific assessment lessons, I wanted my students to have a general introduction lesson which introduced them to family law without the restrictions of assessment criteria. This worked really well as students then took a more thoughtful approach to learning and understanding the subject content when it came to later tasks. I hope these help.

Here I have covered 4 campaigns for change which act as good models to set students up with their own research. There is an activity sheet (I printed this out in poster format so that students could fill it in as we went through the campaigns in lesson) that details how to tackle each campaign. It is important to note that students must break down each campaign by discussing: What it was about/what started it The purpose of the campaign Whether or not it was successful What other campaigns it can be linked to

A lesson on evaluating crime statistics for AC1.6 for Unit 1.

Attached are a variety of teaching resources that helped me to assist students with their chosen campaign for change. I found that lower ability students really found the plan useful as a scaffolding device to help them set out their own campaign.

Some students used the person template to design their own t-shirts and wrist bands etc.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover: Learning Outcome 4: LO 4: Understand causes of policy change AC4.2 Explain how social changes affect policy development This section considers how policy has been influenced by social changes and attitudes in society. There are quite a few topics under this section which could come up in the exam (I discussed a few things with my class to start with early in the lesson). I focus on two main areas in this lesson (same sex relationships and women’s rights) so that they can see how I examine the social change and then the policy development that goes with it. As homework, I set my class the task of researching 4 other topic areas of their own along with the up-skirting activity. Hope this helps.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. This is an Introduction Lesson to Unit 4. These materials include a power point, a student booklet and a key terms sheet. This lesson provides a grounding for students to work from given the fact that this unit is legally focused.

(Lady Justice) The student booklet is in power point format so it is easy to send to reprographics to run off as stapled booklets. I have told my students to take the booklet home for a frame of reference so when, for instance, we start judicial precedent and they forgot sources of law, they can just refer to the booklet as a reminder of some of the basics.

These resources are aimed at post-16 students (Level 3) who are either embarking on the CILEX course or who are thinking about what to study during a taster day. The resources included a “What is CILEX?” presentation as well as an “Introduction to law lesson”. Students can follow the lesson by filling in the attached booklet.The booklet contains activities and a case study which helps them to reflect on the learning they did during the lesson.

These resources are aimed at Level 3 students studying Criminology. Having taught this unit for the first time this year- I found it incredibly useful to do a few general introduction sessions to the overall unit by using one of the briefs as a practice. It meant that students could confidently discuss things such as police powers and the balance of civil liberties with ease when it came to tackling the formal controlled assessment brief. I also gave students a summer homework booklet to complete prior to starting the new unit which enabled us to kick start the academic year off with enthusiasm. I hope these resources help you as much as they have done my Y13 students.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. They cover: Learning Outcome 1: Understand the Process of Criminal Investigations AC1.3 Explain How Evidence is Processed The resources cover how evidence is processed. I got students to research x1 extra to show they have developed their own personal understanding of evidence and not simply churning out what is in the textbook. We looked at processing “dirt” and I referred them to the Soham Murders case. The booklet can be used in lesson and then the student can use it to equip them when writing up their controlled assessment. I tend to send the booklet power point to reprographics and they staple it into a booklet format for me :)
