I taught this lesson ahead of the Norman Conquest unit in Y7, so students could have a point of comparison when they later considered how much change there was in the Norman Period. Could also be taught as a lesson in part of a unit on the Anglo-Saxons, or as part of a thematic study. Full lesson with resources included.

This lesson was designed for Edexcel History GCSE, Paper 1: Crime & Punishment. This lesson was designed for the Whitechapel depth section of the paper. Lesson enquiry: How did stereotyping of immigrant communities impact crime in Whitechapel? Learning objectives: To know the different immigrant groups in Whitechapel and why they came to London. To understand where stereotypes about each group came from. To be able to evaluate the impact of tensions against immigrant communities on crime & punishment in Whitechapel. Download contains: Full lesson with printable resources (slides 8, 10 and 13). Five possible exam questions (for the Edexcel paper) on the topic. All were taken from the Pearson and Hodder exam-approved textbooks. Some teacher knowledge on the roots of anti-Semitism and demands of the exam board are required. Not a whiz-bang lesson but very straightforward and hopefully useful!
