ocr specification for a level

I am a new A level Law teacher using the new OCR spec.  I would be grateful if anyone can send me a good scheme of work for the new spec.   Any hints?  Gill Ries

Hi Gill.

OCR themselves have published a SoW I think.

At AS, issue is whether to do Sources first, or ELS. We do the latter at present to allow resit opportunities for the bigger exam although opinions vary!

What are you doing for A2?

Hi all,

It may be an idea for everyone to check the provisional timetable for exams for Jan and June 2011 when deciding which AS exam to do first. It looks like the AS exams have been placed on different days but also that the ELS exam has been moved forward a week in May 2011.

This may help with planning? We also do ELS first!

Thanks Andy and Karen, we are doing criminal law at a2. Any suggestions for books for the students on this. Any help with source material would also be great. Thanks, Gill Ries

Re: ocr specification for a level

Hi, I am also a new teacher for  A level Law and this year I'm responsibile for year 13. We are doing criminal Law and I was wondering whether you sit the bigger unit or special study in January?

Re: ocr specification for a level

Hi

We do Sces first at AS and special study at A2 but we may have to change AS looking at next years exam dates!! I use OCR Law for AS and my studenst use Storey and Lidbury A2 and OCR Criminal Law - Both OCR ones are written by Jacqueline Martin. Jope this helps.
