History exam Tusday 16th June at 8.45 a.m. in the Gym.
The exam will be on Jack the Ripper. It will last 2 hours. You will have 5 questions. The questions will be about the sources you have already seen.This exam is mainly a test of your evidence handling skills. You don't need to revise a lot of facts. However, two of the questions will ask you to use your own knowledge as well as the sources.
How to revise?
1. Make sure you know the basic story. What happened? The story round the five murders and how the police reacted. Look back at the gap-filling worksheet you did on the DVD 'The Hunt for Jack the Ripper' and use the links below.
2. Read the sources (see links below) very carefully again and again and get to know them very well. Ask yourself these questions about each source:
- what kind of source is it?
- who wrote it?
- where and when was it written?
- why was it written?
- how reliable is it?
- is it useful if we want to understand what was happening?
- does it agree or disagree with other sources?
3. Don't waste time trying to read up everything on the blogspot: you don't need lots and lots of detailed information.
