Post Three

We had a group metting on 9th December ahead of the presentation to finalise our PowerPoint presentation and have a run through of our material and also to time how long our presentation will last for. We booked a group study room for two sessions so we could use the computer to all check that the powerpoint presentation was how we wanted it. In this meeting we also created a bibliography of all the resources we have used during researching for the presentation.

After reading Toni's blog on useful websites, I have to agree that I also found the www.casebook.org website particularly interesting. The website had archives of newspaper articles about Jack the Ripper from the time of the murders that were in newspapers from as far away as New Zealand. This was interesting as it was evidence of how the case was treated in different countries. The website also had copies of the letters that were sent supposedly from Jack the Ripper, these were really interesting as they were original copies so you could see the handwritting and detail. The letters also had a discriptive text with them explaining their significance which was also handy.
