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
Paper: Paper 2
Exam Board: Eduqas
Units: Tort Law, Criminal Law, Contract Law
Question Type: Scenario Questions
This lesson is designed to be taught to students just before Paper 2 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 scenario 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.
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!
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
Activity Three
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 the flow chart structure 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 Four
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.
