AQA GCSE Citizenship- Topic 2- Rights & Responsibilities.
Lessons are planned to be delivered by non-specialists, they do not require any textbooks. Lessons are planned for 60 minutes unless stated in the description below. They incorporate a retrieval grid, teacher input, and a practice task that links to either direct exam questions, or practicing an exam based skill.
Lesson 8: Looks at Jury selection. From what a Jury summons is, to the role and expectations of a Jury. It also looks at the advantages and disadvantages of jury trials. The class are then split into teams of 12 and take on the role of a jury member, they select who they want to be and have to provide reasons as to why they are disregarding 8 of the selection. They are given an “evidence” file and they have to reach a unanimous decision on if the defendant is guilty or not. Students then complete a write up task to reflect on the jury process. When taught, this took me a double lesson (2 hours) rather than the 1 hour I had planned, simply because my class are very keen and had a lot of debates in the simulation task.
