Essay Topic: Discharge
Unit: Contract Law

The discharge scenario focuses on a variety of elements of discharge including frustration.

Exam Board: Eduqas
Marks: 25 Marks
Topic: Res Ipsa Loquitur
Unit: Tort Law

Included is a model plan and a model answer. These are great to help support you with marking and to also support students with DIRT.
Unit: Tort Law
Exam Board: Eduqas
Paper: Paper 2
This card sort is a quick fire starter for revision sessions at Year 13 (or late Year 12).
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!
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
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 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 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.

How I Use This Resource
I give the sheet to students and give them five minutes to complete as much as they can by themselves without notes.
I then give them a further five minutes to work as a group.
They can then complete the table with notes if there are still gaps.
I usually have the table on the board and fill it in throughout if students as me for clarity or shout out any answers! By the end of about 15 minutes every students should have a completed sheet.
This handy flow chart will help students work through the various elements of greivous bodily harm when studying criminal law.
It is bright and colourful and they can stick it in their revision notes, or you can just post it onto Teams/Classroom etc. for them to copy.
