This revision timetable uses the Pomodoro method to allow students to block out their time in 25 minute slots.
The cream lines are for 5 minute breaks and the pale green lines are for 15 minute or lunch/dinner breaks.
Timetable runs from 9am to 8pm
How To Fill in Timetable
There are two methods to filling in the timetable.
First get students to block out unusable time (e.g. classes, football practice etc.)
Method 1: Get students to write a list of all the subjects they are studying. Then allocate a 2 hour time slot to each subject. This means they’ll study 4-5 subjects per day
Method 2: Get students to allocate 25 minute slots to different tasks (e.g. past papers, revision resources, quizzes). They can then allocate different days to different subjects
They should allocate something productive to do in their break time. A productive break should:
Not include screens
Move away from the study space
Involve active movement

Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2 & 3
This case table contains the must know cases and statute section for occupiers’ liability. These are the ones that will appear in every scenario question for occupiers’ liability and are the ones all students will have to know.
The two key cases are:
Addie v Dumbreck (1929)
Wheat v Lacon (1966)
The four key sections are:
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 1(1)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 1(3)(a)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, s 2(2)
Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984, s 1(3)
There is space to fill in the facts and ratio for the cases and the law for the statutes.
Students can complete this as a starter activity as part of a revision lesson or as a homework task.
I get students to complete as much as they can from memory and then complete the tables with notes as part of revision.
This handy flow chart will help students work through the various elements of greivous bodily harm when studying criminal law.
It is bright and colourful and they can stick it in their revision notes, or you can just post it onto Teams/Classroom etc. for them to copy.
Really helpful when they are starting to structure lessons on the OAPA 1861.
Designed for A-Level Law, Eduqas syllabus but suits any A-Level law course or BTEC.
