Please leave a rating/review if you liked the resource! A lesson which focuses on the Jack the Ripper SUSPECTS (not victims), it is done better after a lesson which focuses on the victims. I did this lesson as Part 2 for an Induction Day for Year 8’s coming to join our school in Year 9. It was fast paced and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. Included: - basic q&a starter - eyewitness accounts task - suspect profile resources/collate information and start thinking about the killer - Decide who the killer was / written task Please leave a rating/review if you liked the resource!

The Industrial Revolution The aim for writing this lesson is to challenge the traditional view that Jack the Ripper targeted prostitutes or sex workers in Victorian London. Whilst much has been written about the Jack the Ripper and how clever he was to avoid detection, very little has been written about the lives of his victims. Therefore with this in mind, students will learn how difficult it was for Victorian women to lead comfortable lives as marriage, children, work, alcoholism, the workhouse and poverty took its toll on them. Students begin the lesson with an overview by learning what is known about Jack the Ripper, who he killed and how the police had little evidence or clues to go on. There is a video link and a true or false activity to complete this. They will then have to use a number of images to decide how hard life was for Victorian women and the pressures they were under. A differentiated missing word activity can be completed to piece together many of these problems, based on the lives of the five women murdered. A case study of Annie Chapman, the Ripper’s second victim, will centre around her privileged life before alcoholism took over, forcing her to separate from her husband and children as she moved from a village near Windsor Castle to the doss houses of Whitechapel. Here, students have to colour code the main factors and problems which affected her life. An extended writing task can then be completed, with a writing structure and key words given to help if required. The plenary poses some differentiated questions from the learning completed in the lesson. The resource comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change. I have also included suggested teaching strategies to deliver the lesson and there are differentiated materials included. A big thank you goes to Hallie Rubenhold, whose fabulous book ‘The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women killed by Jack the Ripper’ inspired me to write this lesson.

LESSON 1 A starter to ask students to discuss types of crimes that take place in society. crime. This will lead on to talk about the environment facilitating crime in Whitechapel. A task for students to discuss what they want to find out about Jack the Ripper. A visual discussion on-board about the conditions in Whitechapel using maps and a YouTube video. A literacy task using ‘The Five’ by Hallie Reubenhold to assess what problems existed in Whitechapel, and how they made the murders possible. LESSON 2 A starter to consider how crimes are solved today, and then how crimes may have been solved in 1888. This leads on to the tasks. There is a video from Bloody Britain on YouTube that is shown to give the ‘story’ of the crimes and the victims. Students then start to profile the killer including what he might do for a job, where he might live, what kind of person (i.e. insane) he might be. These initial thoughts may change as the lessons go on and lead tot he suspects lesson. There is an optional task using information cards instead to create a mind map. You can extend this by providing a map of Whitechapel and students also label where the bodies were found. LESSONS 3-4 A starter to recap previous knowledge so far in the JTR module. A discussion of guilt based on evidence - a picture of a cat is used to facilitate a discussion of how we know there is guilt. A task for students to study a large table with descriptions of witness statements. Students put short info in each descriptor box (leave any N/A blank) and begin to theorise what Jack looked like. Students summarise at end. Extension - Students can read the Dear Boss letter and analyse the writing for what each part means. Students might be extended to think about what this tells us about the killer (i.e. educated, nice writing, could be a doctor etc.) and it will change some of their theories. LESSON 5 A starter to recap past knowledge gained on the course so far. An introduction tot he five main suspects (each of them is real). Students use the workbook and the information sheet provided to write reasons for an against each suspect. This can often fill an entire page. Some students stick on extra notes. You could get them to write reasons why they could be the Ripper in one colour, and why not in another colour - make sure students explain - E.g. does he know Whitechapel well…therefore could he do the crime then escape easily? There is a further extension to consider further evidence in the table. For each piece, students tick the suspect it best relates to. This can give further evidence for the assessment. LESSON 6 Students bring everything together to plan, in their workbooks, what they will put in each paragraph. You can edit the question to simply be ‘who was JTR’ or keep the ‘how far do you agree’ version. Students then get 30 minutes to write their essay.

Includes a lesson in which students pretend to be investigators and follow through the Whitechapel murders as though they are police in H division, looking at the evidence as it comes in and making structured notes on the crimes and their effect on the people of Whitechapel as well as the way that the crimes are reported in the press. Resources are also available for students to look at the main suspects in the crimes. Also includes a lesson on living conditions in Whitechapel in order to help students understand the social context of the Whitechapel murders. This lesson series provides opportunities for students to analyse sources, look at the causes of crime in Whitechapel, understand police methodology in the 19th century and consider the impact of the press on the police investigation. The hope for this lesson series is that the students engage with the historical circumstances surrounding the murders in Whitechapel rather than simply seeing it as a “true crime story”. All resources are provided in a dyslexia friendly font and with clear and uncluttered slides. Students tend to enjoy the creative aspects of the tasks as well as the opportunity to examine the Whitechapel murders from the perspective of the police investigation and find the experience immersive and engaging.
