Check out my BUNDLE of Jack the Ripper Lessons.
The idea behind these lessons is for the students to determine which of the suspects is their “preferred” Jack and examine why.
Students can do their own research on their suspect at casebook ORG
Vic Reeves does a physical and psychological breakdown of the suspects. This can be shown as Lesson 2 or 3. I prefer to show it as Lesson 3 and have the students complete their suspect profile or even present an alternative suspect due to new information.

Pick a Key Topic: Play only one key topic at a time
Extended Time: Give one minute instead of 30 seconds
20 Questions: Allow for 20 attempts only to identify the eight
Historical Hint: After the round you can ask for one hint only
Random Score: Assign points based on the number they identify
No Timer: Play until all eight are identified
Hint Away: You can receive hints throughout the round. You can add other variations to this one.

These questions cover the key topics 1.1 to 3.3 of the new Edexcel GCSE on the American West.
Teachers can insert these questions into your lesson slides. They can print them off and use them as starter, recap or plenary activities. They can amend them to meet the needs of their students.
I choose the PowerPoint format because you can print different numbers of slides to a page and you can include them in your work.

The five R's is a method used to break down and examine the historical significance of an event or person. Many historians have different variations of this method.
The five R's we will use are: Remembered, revealed, remarked, resonates and resulted.

Useful for History lessons for all ages and other lessons too.
FREE version available and TEMPLATE BUNDLE available.
