Edexcel History: L3 Which are the most useful sources for telling us about policing in Whitechapel?

The focus of this lesson is for students to learn about the sources that we might study to find out about policing in Whitechapel and to begin to use criteria to evaluate the usefulness of different sources to improve sources skills for Q2. in the exam. Students are introduced to a school SIMS image which they discuss about how useful this source is for finding out about behaviour and what other sources we could investigate to get a better picture. Following this they discuss a source from the time period and working with a partner they create a criteria for judging how useful the source is. After discussions the class create a tip/ help sheet for working with sources (prompts are given as well as a worksheet). Using a continuum line students rank various types of sources based on their usefulness in learning about policing, which they annotate (examples given in presentation) before completing an exam question. AA resources are included in a work booklet.
