Overview: Having studied the police investigation into Jack the Ripper in c.1888, this lesson aims to build students confidence with source utility and “follow up…” questions, in line with Edexcel assessments. In the first part of the lesson, there is ample scaffolding to support students in tackling the questions independently. The second part of the lesson takes on the format of a feedback lesson (with modelled examples / answers) so that students can peer review / self-check their own progress.
