This lesson examines the murder carried out by the killer known as Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel district in 1888. The students have a choice of tasks about how they wish to research the murders with a choice of websites and clips given in the notes. Students can then analyse the meaning and usefulness of sources from the time as well as recap their prior knowledge of the topic.

This is a very useful resource to help students structure their revision for an end of unit assessment or their final exam. It has been organised Chronologically but also provides students with the information to revise thematically. I would suggest enlarging to A3 if possible and students have found this a great starting point to their revision as it sets out all of the topics covered in the American West on one sheet.
Please note that this is a single sheet resource, but due to the time it took to produce this, I hope this reflects the asking price for it. Hopefully it can last you many years.
These are the 36 fact sheets that accompany my lessons for the Edexcel GCSE History unit Anglo-Saxon and Norman England.

Each fact sheet can be used as an easy, printable version of the text book or as a revision resource.
Please be kind enough to leave a review if you find these fact sheets useful.
