The document provides guidance and tasks for law students. It reminds students to review material from the previous term and sets out the goals for the next two lessons, which are for students to be able to discuss what they remember and what they want to achieve by the end of the course. It then provides students with tasks to complete in pairs or individually, such as sorting puzzles, answering questions, and considering legal cases, to help reinforce their learning.

1. Y13 Law
Well done! You made it...
Now for the real hard work –
can you remember anything
of what we did before the
summer?!
... And what do you want to
actually get at the end of the

questions!

concerns have been
adequately addressed by the
recent changes to the law?

10. Splash! Wasn’t it enough you broke my glasses? Do you have to watch?!
11. Gas means money... not death?
12. Things not to expect on a beach: a body at sea.
13. Oh! So that’s the one you’re allergic to. Are you sure?
14. Left... Right... Left... right... how many times can you drop a person?

can apply it to your situations!

revenge by setting fire to Harry’s
prize mini. He pours petrol into the
car, and sets it alight. What Harry
doesn’t know is that Bob the local
tramp has also decided that
Harry’s mini looks like a good
house, and sets up home there.
Sadly, he dies in the fire.
