Nick,

Boy that's a tall order to limit a report on Jack the Ripper to two pages. Is there any guidance on what your report is supposed to focus on, such as historical facts, speculation as to the murderer, social conditions, etc.?

If you are supposed to focus merely on the historical facts, I would do this:

1. Brief overview of the case.
2. Very brief description on the five generally agreed on murders, with mention that there may have been others.
3. Identify who the police may have suspected.
4. Pick two or three suspects and discuss them.
5. Come to a conclusion as to whether the case could ever be solved.

If you can do that in two pages you are a better writer than I!

One note: your teacher will probably require more than just this website as a source. Check your local library for books. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Andy S.
