My classes have been struggling with understanding how to approach the questions and understanding the pre-released information. These handouts are walking students through what to expect in the questions and it gets them using some metacognitive strategies to reflect upon their revision of topics and organise their notes in preparartion for the exam. There is a clear focus on Paper 1 but Paper 2 is covered.

AQA GCSE Citizenship - The operation of the justice system. Lesson 2 in SoW

I use this lesson as part of my Year 9 SoW on law & legal rights. It has been adapted for GCSE too easily in the past.

I use this lesson with my year 7 students. you need to be a bit 'tongue in cheek' getting them to sing a 'national anthem' of who wonderful you are and tell them they are doing the tasks or they get a week of detentions etc, BUT the kids remember this lesson and they understand the different types of government from it.

I use this with my Year 9 students. The past paper questions are from the Old OCR GCSE citizenship papers

I have used this with my current year 11 students as part of our revision for the exams and they have loved it. I hope you enjoy it. Feedback is welcomed. :)

I use this lesson with my year 9 students it looks at both geographical influences on our identity & social influences

AQA GCSE Citizenship - The operation of the justice system part 2. Lesson 3 in SoW

I created the end of unit paper using past gcse questions from OCR & AQA so that section A tests students knowledge with low mark questions and section B tests their ability to apply their knowledge to higher mark questions this gave students 2 GCSE grades (based upon the last year grade boundaries and allowed us to do a SWOT analysis of them in this unit). The resit is a combination of both knowledge & skills. I hope you find this useful. Feedback is welcomed :)

I have created 3 booklets that I have used with my students. One looks at various sources based questions from the 2 papers. One looks specifically at section B of the A342 exam and the other contains past 12 mark questions for the A342 exam. My students like having these booklets to help them practice the areas they felt weakest in. I hope you find them useful. I welcome feedback. :)
