An Inspector Calls - Birling's Opening Speech

An activity focusing on identifying repetition and key points in Mr Birling's opening speech, in 'An Inspector Calls'. Nice introduction to the play, links to the history/culture of 1912 and sets the scene for the events of the play. Useful for getting students to engage with the text at a deeper level, can be followed up by discussion on why those points have been included and repeated by the writer (JB Priestly), speaking to a 1945/46 audience.

Ideal for GCSE and IGCSE students.
