A new quiz for Year 8 history students.

A worksheet designed to be used as a ‘back to back’ exercise in the classroom. The teacher copy should also be downloaded.

In this worksheet, students are introduced to the terrible social conditions that prevailed in East End of London and make deductions about how these could have helped “Jack”. They are presented with a list of the problems and deprivations in the East End and consider how each would have helped the killer. They also analyse an extract from a report produced at the time and rank the problems listed within it from the most horrendous downwards.

Why did the Imperial Cities adopt the Reformation? - In the 1960s Bernd Moeller called for historians to get away from theological debate and back to historical issues. This was the question he posed to himself, and it generated a great deal of debate.

Were the Radicals a ‘lunatic fringe’? - Some historians have argued that the Radicals were insane and insignificant; others that they were the most enlightened, and also the most significant, part of the Reformation movement. Which side makes the most sense?
