The scenarios pick up on key controversial topics within that area such as double transfer of malice, or theft of money.

Paper: Paper 3
Exam Board: Eduqas
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.
Topic: Defences and Remedies
Unit: Tort Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Papers: Paper 2 & Paper 3

UPDATE
This lesson has been updated with flow charts for each of the torts, criminal offences & contract law issues that students need to know.
For each flow chart they have been given one key case or statute that they need to know.
These can be printed off and given to students to help them learn the very basics.
Activity One
This is a flow chart flash card sort. For each tort/crime etc. there is a set essay plan that students can follow to establish it. There are sets of cards for each of these (you will need to print & laminate these, please set printer to "Flip Along Short Edge).
Students should be given one set each (e.g. negligence) and can then put it in the correct order. If correct they can then exchange for another set. The group with the most complete sets wins!

Unit: Contract Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13
Students are given a set of cards for a particular topic and then have to sort them into the correct structure for the problem (scenario) question.
How I Use These Cards
I put students in pairs/small groups and give them each one topic. Once they have correctly sorted it they can do the next topic. The group with the most complete topics at the end of 3 minutes gets a prize.
Printing Notes
Set your printer to: Print Along Short Edge
This will mean the cards are printed flipped so that the back matches the front! If you do long edge then this won’t work. I recommend doing a test print of pages 1 & 2 first to ensure your formatting is working!
Unit: Criminal Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13.

Paper: Paper 1 - English Legal Systems
Topic: English Legal Systems & Sources of Law
This lesson is designed to be a last minute revision lesson on ELS & SOL. I use it in the last lesson before the exam (e.g. this year it will be the day before). The lesson is designed to help students see how much they already know and how that knowledge can be used in answers.
Starter
Tier 1 Cases/Legislation Kahoot (link provided in notes of PowerPoint)
Content
Overview of Paper 1 including suggested timings for each question.
NEW UPDATE!
This lesson now includes a brief overview of every topic (one slide per topic) including some key cases and statutes as well as flow charts for the AO2 questions.
This is designed to help ensure that every student at least knows the bare minimum before going into the exam. You can either go through this with students or allow them to use it to support their own revision.
Main Activity
Students will start by each picking a topic.
Then they write down everything they know about that topic on a blank piece of paper.
Using the worksheets they then write down either the flow chart structure (Part A Topics) or evaluation points (Part B Topics).
Students then take the knowledge they know and fit this into each of the ‘paragraph’ headings.
Students can then practice planning a past paper question on each topic.
Plenary
Padlet: Set up a Padlet and give students the link. Students can then ask anonymous questions on ELS. The anonymous nature helps with students who may feel that their question is ‘stupid’ or be too nervous to speak up. Encourage as many questions as possible and make it clear that no question is too stupid!
Additional Resources
I also give students a past paper to look through as I talk through the structure. Although they will have seen these numerous times before this allows them to have a clear look at what the paper will look like and ensure they are fully familiar with the structure before the actual exam.
Includes PowerPoint (with Kahoot link) & worksheets on each topic
