‘Never Let Me Go’ by Kazuo Ishiguro explores an enduring love that battles a hopeless situation. Using the canvas of cloning, Ishiguro explores the moral, spiritual and legal debates connected to the creation of life. In our fractured post-modern world, this text remains both significant and essential. I have taught this text a number of times in recent years, and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource (SKYPE Lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically illustrated PowerPoint lesson (17 slides) includes: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking task, an extension task connected to advanced vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary (approximately 2 hours teaching time). This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!

JB Priestley’s timeless classic attacks the class system and sexual bias. In a tense setting, the Birling family are put on trial by the ghostly Inspector Goole and made to confront the outcomes of their discrimination towards the working-classes.
