Stage 1: Always look for the injuries
caused and the offence that you need to talk about will be related to the worst
injury. Define this offence quoting any act relevant.
Stage 2: Define the Actus Reus of the
offence and then use 1-2 cases to define words that are important in the actus
reus.
Stage 3: Use evidence in the problem

right if you are using the D and V’s name a lot and quoting from the problem.
Stage 4:Conclude as to whether the AR is
satisfied.
Stage 5: Define the Mens Rea of the offence
and then use 1-2 cases to define words that are important in the Mens Rea.
Stage 6: Use evidence in the problem and
link this to proving the definition of the Mens Rea. You are doing this right
if you are using the D and V’s name a lot and quoting from the problem.
Stage 7: Conclude as to whether the MR is
satisfied.
Stage 8: Finally say whether you think the
D is guilty of the offence.
