An Inspector Calls Mr Birling Lesson Grade 9

This lesson covers key context, an audience and reader’s expectations and reactions, writing a thesis statement, extensive analysis and questioning of key ideas, key quotes with grade 9 analysis notes, as well as a writing frame to support all students.

Key vocabulary, terminology, and paragraph structuring is included, as is an option for debate, a second writing question template, and opportunities for students to mark and improve their own work.

Two starters are included, so you can split the slides into two different lessons.

Quotes include:

“unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable.”
“a man has to make his own way—has to look after himself—and his family, too, of course”
“I’m talking as a hard headed, practical man of business.”
