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
Create an essay plan for each of the essay questions listed.
Students can work individually, in groups or pairs.
There are three essay questions listed for tort, criminal and contract.
Plenary
The plenary is an evaluation Kahoot.
An evaluation point is displayed and students should select the legal authority that supports the point.
The link to the Kahoot is provided in the notes section of the PowerPoint.
This induction lesson is designed to be delivered to Year 11 students who will be studying A-Level Law in Year 12.

Students are given the definition of murder and theft. They are then shown five small scenarios. Students have to discuss whether they think that the person has committed murder/theft.
The scenarios pick up on key controversial topics within that area such as double transfer of malice, or theft of money.

Each page contains either:
1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3)

1x 10 Mark + 1x 15 Mark English Legal Systems (Paper 1)

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!

Exam Board: Eduqas
Unit: Unit 1: English Legal Systems
This PowerPoint is a great resource to help with exam practice or to use as starters and plenaries throughout the two years.
Included are 64 5-Mark questions covering every topic studied as part of the Sources of Law element of English Legal Systems.
Each question has a model plan to accompany it.
Note: You may teach slightly different examples so do go through and update with your own examples where necessary
How I Use This Resource
Revision practice: These can be given to students and they can have 10 minutes to answer the question and then self-mark using the model plan as part of revision
Starter/plenary: These can be copied into lessons or thrown on the board as starters/plenaries
Time fillers: Got 10 minutes left at the end of a lesson? Throw a question on the board and get them to do it!
Mock exam planning: They can be copied and pasted into DIRT PowerPoints for mock exams to save you having to plan answers
Independent revision: Students can use them to revise & practice 5-mark questions
Targeted revision: My students often struggle with the 5-markers as they see them as less important so these help them to focus on revision
This is designed to cover potentially any question that can come up but I recommend adding in questions if a new one pops up or one with odd wording appears that isn’t covered in the PowerPoint.
