This template is designed for A-Level law but would suit all subjects that have evaluation style questions.
The template helps students to structure their answer, with clear space for evaluation and evidence to support arguments.
It also helps students get used to writing the start and finish of their paragraphs using the wording of the question so as to show clear links.
Looks great in colour but prints fine in black and white.
Lesson Topic: Introduction & Theory of Contract Law
Module: Contract Law
Exam Board: AQA
This is a pick and mix style lesson that runs through all the evaluation points for contract law theory. This is designed to support students with their 15 mark answers in their AQA A-Level exam.
I usually go through the lesson and pick out activities, covering certain topics such as morality, justice and society and in more detail. I ensure I’ve given students enough detail that they can easily answer a 15 mark question on the topic.
The lesson is long but is really helpful for student revision - it allows them to highlight some key arguments that can be used in the 15 mark questions for contract law.
There are appropriate starter and plenary activities that can be used to split over several lessons.
There is a practice essay at the end.

There are six rounds and it takes about an hour to complete. Extra rounds can easily be added or removed depending on the length of the lesson you have to fit it into.

Students will need knowledge of all English Legal Systems topics (except Statutory Interpretation). This should make it suitable for year 12 just before Christmas but it would also suit year 13.
Please check the answers for round 6 before running as it requires up to date knowledge of the Lord Chancellor & Head of Supreme Court and some answers may need changing
The quiz was up to date as of 09/12/22!

This is an Eduqas mock exam paper that can be used for either year 12 or year 13 students as part of their mock exams. Students are expected to have covered all of the English Legal Systems content before taking this paper.
The paper is designed to look like an Eduqas exam paper.

10/15 Combinations
Juries (10 mark) & juries (15 mark)

This is a bundle of mock papers that make up a full set of A-Level exams.
They are designed to be given to year 13 students after the Christmas of year 2.
Students should be taking the contract law option.
Students are not expected to have finished the contract law module but should have knowledge of formation & privity in order to complete these papers.
Each paper is a full paper in the Eduqas style.
This crib sheet is designed to help support students as they study contract law remedies.
It can be useful for structuring notes in class, as a revision activity or as a homework task.
The sheet looks great printed in colour but also prints fine in black and white.
Boxes to complete:
What are the limitations on the availability of damages?
Hadley v Baxendale
How are damages calculated?
Rules for equitable remedies
These placemats are a great plenary activity for lessons on consideration.
Students can pick questions to answer for the sheet, have questions allocated or have to answer all of the questions.
There are different colours for each question to help with distinction.
The questions all test different areas of consideration as well as different skills with both evaluation and application style questions.
I use this as part of a DIRT lesson following an evaluation essay on consideration.
Designed for the Eduqas exam board but would suit other exam boards as well.
This activity asks students to research cases on a particular topic and find a case for each of the headings.
This can be useful as a revision activity, as a flipped learning or home learning activity, a homework task or as a starter task when beginning a new topic.
There are two versions of the worksheet, each with different questions. You can split these up amongst the class, give everyone the same one or give everyone a two paged task if you want it to last longer.
I recommend allocating students a topic.
Students then research seven different cases, one for each of the headings. Some may be harder than others depending on the topic!
This requires some knowledge of law and how the legal system works. I would expect students to have studied English Legal Systems before doing it.
Unit: Criminal 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.
Although based on Eduqas these are suitable for all exam boards, although you may want to pick out any topics that you do not study.
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!
