Revising for the Trial HSC - Legal Studies

6/12/2016

0 Comments

 
We all know how stressed students can get leading up to the Trial exams and the actual HSC. Thorough and well-planned preparation is one method to combat some of this stress.
So to that end, now is a good time to get students focused on preparing for the Trials. Below is attached a planner which steps the students through revision of the course by completing around half an hour study per day. I have used the topics of Shelter and Family, but you could easily replace these for topics that you have completed.

It is also a good idea to give students some ideas on how to study. Often, even some of my most capable students will say that they are not really sure of the study techniques to use. I also included a few ideas at the bottom of the file. I'm sure that you will have plenty more to add. Consider sharing some of your study ideas in the comments section.

Human Rights - Introduction

Human rights: the basic rights and freedoms believed to belong justifiably to all human beings.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN in 1948, representing the first universal acceptance of the idea of human rights and becoming a reference point of all subsequent human rights treaties.
Define the following terms:
- inalienable right
- natural law
- universal suffrage
- universal education
- self determination
