I am currently a head of faculty, with over 10 years teaching experience, specialising in History. I am passionate about developing excellent teaching which allows all pupils to feel challenged, supported and involved in their own learning. I have maintained outstanding results across KS4 and 5 and feel this has been made possible through rigorously planned lessons which are constantly updated to take into account meaningful, pedagogical changes in education.

Hello there,
This lesson is entitled ‘The Murders of Jack the Ripper’.
It has been planned as part of a unit on life in Industrial Britain and is suitable for those of secondary school age. It is fully resourced and would take at least two to three hours of teaching time to complete.
The lesson begins with an examination of why crime was a problem during this period and the efforts that were made to tackle it. This then links in to the problems in Whitechapel specifically.
Following this, there are activities on the victims of the ripper murders, the suspects and the infamous letters.
The lesson then concludes by considering why Jack the Ripper was never caught and providing an interpretations based skill question for the students to complete.
Thanks and please do leave a review to let me know what you thought.
