This 35-slide lesson is designed to explore and revise the ‘generation gap’ in J.B. Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls’.
The lesson considers the gulf between the younger and older characters in the play with reference to key quotations and character development. We think about how the elder characters blame and criticise the younger characters in the play, and how the younger characters judge their disappointing elders in turn. Priestley’s authorial intentions are also explored, thinking about how each character is used symbolically. Each character is dissected in detail, including the ambiguities of Gerald’s place in terms of generational divisions.
Questions, discussion points, and tasks are included for students. An essay question is featured at the end of the lesson.
This resource is perfect for GCSE analysis of the play.

Some fabulous ideas here but not being able to edit and change the slides reduces its usefulness.
Brilliant! This goes step-by-step through the characters, bringing in dramatic devices, plenty of discussion points and all leading up to the big question of the generation gap.
