Student workbook and information slides for AQA A Level Law, Nature of Law topic. Contains workbook for students to fill in plus discussion and questions.
A PowerPoint to introduce the students to the unit. It begins by defining law. Following this students brainstorm Australian laws / QLD laws that they are aware of (there are some prompts on the slide to assist them to do this). This is followed by an explanation of the difference between customs, rules and laws. The two main sources of law in Australia (case law and common law) are explained. This is followed by a video about how laws are made in Australia. There are some notes to take about the three levels of government and the laws they are responsible for. This is followed by a checking for understanding activity (students must put a list of laws into the appropriate column). Next is information about who enforces the law, a definition for crime, several interesting news segments from YouTube showcasing some crimes that have occurred since 2019 which leads to a discussion of why laws exist. This is followed by a list which categorises some types of crime and a review to sum up the lesson.
Part of a set of resources created for a senior Social & Community studies class in Australia (QCAA syllabus). The other resources are also available in my store – Aussie_Resources. Designed for use in 70 minute lessons. The end of term assessment for this unit was a multimodal presentation.
I pride myself on the quality of the materials I produce, I don’t charge high prices because I don’t agree with paying £10 for a word search. If you need to check before you buy, have a look at some of the free resources in my shop for a sample of the quality and depth.
This is a power-point that covers the topic LEGAL PERSONNEL as part of the AQA A Level LAW
The power-point has been made using a variety of sources that have been recommended by AQA, including their specification.
Students can make notes as you explain the information and there are a series of tasks throughout the PP to check their understanding. The key words have been added by me, but serve as a good way to focus students on the key terminology for this topic.
I have also included a homework / extension task.
This topic / power-point usually takes me a week (approx 3-4 hours) to teach, hopefully the price reflects the amount of work that has gone into the PP and how many lessons you are getting!

Visual images are more than just what you see. Visual literacy teaches students to deconstruct an image to find the hidden meanings within the image, such as the complexity of content, meaning, emotional responses and critical responses. This poster takes a comic that aims to teach students about the legal issues around driving and then to deconstructs the meanings behind the comic, the messages it contains and the manner in which the meanings are taught. Making responses to visual images are a great way to develop extended literacy responses, in this case, around issues related to legal studies.

A lot of people who study Law at University do so because they want to become practising lawyers, whether as barristers or solicitors, but it is not necessary to read Law at University to become a practising lawyer. Equally, studying Law at University is a legitimate subject for academic study even if you definitely do not want to become a lawyer or think that you may not become a practising lawyer. That is because the study of Law at University is not a vocational subject; it is an academic subject and an intellectual discipline.
