It is designed for the Eduqas syllabus but is pretty universal! It can easily be adapted to suit any course you want :) The introduction says it is for Eduqas and you will be studying contract, but easily edited (you definitely have my permission to do this)
Tasks:
(1) Sort the key terms into criminal and civil
(2) Write a definition of the key terms from task one
(3) Research a recent English or Welsh law case and make a note of: facts; importance; what was decided; why you chose the case
(4) Research arguments for and against the death penalty ready to write an essay about it in week 1 (this can be used as a baseline assessment of student writing style/ability)
Document is bright, colourful and fun. It is meant to be appealing to students. It is designed to start to give them a foundation in terminology but is also helpful as a teacher to diagnose ability levels early on.

I recommend giving students 40 minutes in class to answer this question.
This is a really fun little contract law revision exercise.
Included:
30x Bingo Cards
Question Sheet
Preparing the Cards
Laminate the cards to ensure that they can be used over and over again getting students to mark them with white board markers
How to Play
Choose a question at random from the question sheet
Make sure to cross it off once you have said it
Students mark off the answer on their bingo cards
The first student to get all of the correct answers marked off wins!
This is a great revision tool but can also be used as a starter or plenary activity.
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!
