Outcomes & Objectives

Outcomes1. Read each of the suspect profiles, whether on the Word

documents or by clicking on the hyperlinks. 2. Complete summary sheets on the three most likely

suspects, including a picture and four or five bullet-points stating the key pieces of evidence showing their guilt.

3. Produce a piece of structured writing to persuade readers of who you think Jack the Ripper was, using the writing frames provided. Remember to back up your argument with strong evidence.
