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.

The Criminology resources are aimed at Level 3 students. Learning Outcome 1: Understanding the Criminal Justice System in England and Wales These materials include; a lengthy lesson power point (this takes me x2 lessons to cover), model answer to an exam question, key terms and other activities for students to complete. The content covers Parliamentary Law Making and Judicial Precedent. I have also included a short power point on statutory interpretation (I have touched on this in lesson but given my students homework to look at this in more detail). Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions. rachael.s.roberts@hotmail.co.uk I will be putting more resources up for this unit.

The resources are aimed at A Level Law students studying Contract Law and cover material needed for a general introduction to contract law and what legal ‘intention’ means. Included within these resources is a lesson, PP booklet students can fill either on -line (or you can print it out for them), key terms sheet and a case list. I have also included an A03 evaluation template that students can use once they have covered contract law. The essay questions require them to evaluate (any area could come up) so I find this a useful reflection activity.

The attached resources includes a work booklet, a dilemma card activity and a power point presentation. The lesson can be used for either A Level Law students or BTEC Law Level 3 students. The booklet provided allows students to interact with the lesson. Print out the dilemma cards and get students to decide which category their offence/dilemma falls into. Some of the activity cards provide a basis for discussion points e.g. telling lies- “is it civil or criminal?” Students always enjoy this activity as it puts them in charge and gets them engaged with how law works in the “real world”. The lesson in full covers the following key areas: Key differences between civil and criminal law The courts in civil and criminal cases Burden/Standard of proof in civil and criminal cases 4)Outcomes/consequences of breaking the law in civil and criminal cases The lesson resources also include case studies which enable teachers to track the process of students. This lesson really does help to “show progress” and is a useful tool for lesson observations.

These resources are aimed at Level 3 BTEC Law students. Attached is a power point slide for the tutor and a work booklet for the student.

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. Having something to take home after a taster day at college, I found, really helps students to decide if Law is a career they want to do.

The resources are aimed at A Level Law students studying Contract Law and cover material needed for “Consideration”. There are 3 lessons with activities, homework and lots of case law. I have also attached some revision notes on Consideration that students can take home, highlight and even use as help sheets for practice exam questions.

I have linked the lessons to the “Mr and Mrs S” Exam Board Assignment Brief but you can tailor the lessons to any brief that you have selected for your students. Remember that students must acknowledge the assignment brief but not make it all about the assignment brief. They must focus on meeting the assessment criteria set out by the exam board. Enjoy!

Please find attached key notes aimed at Level 3 Law students.

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

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 Social Constructs of Criminality AC1.1 Compare criminal and deviant behaviour The resources include a Unit 2 general introduction and then a power point that covers AC1.1. The intro lesson helped me to transition the students from a controlled assessment mind set, to an exam mind set which requires more independent revision from students. I also found it useful to highlight to my students the synoptic nature of the course so reminded students not to forget everything they learned from Unit 1 (all the units are building blocks to the next set of learning and this is why one of the first activities I get students to do is to look at the questions they CAN already answer on the Unit 2 paper using their Unit 1 knowledge). You will also find a student booklet and homework activities included. PLEASE NOTE: that the sample exam questions referred within my power point to can be accessed for FREE on the EDUQAS website. Please free to email me if you have any problems accessing them: rachael.s.roberts@hotmail.co.uk

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. In order to understand the various topics covered in this unit, it is important to be aware of the basic law making concepts so this intro lesson lightly covers the following areas: How the UK country is run (the three powers) What law is defined as (and why we need it) Where laws come from (sources of law) Is punishment necessary? (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. Feel free to message me with any questions as I know that this is a new course! I hope you find these resources helpful- particularly if you are new to teaching Criminology. My specialism is Law and Criminology so I also welcome any Law related questions. rachael.s.roberts@hotmail.co.uk I will be putting more resources up for this unit.
