GCSE Literature: ‘An Inspector Calls’ The Complete Bundle (19x90 minute lessons)

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. In our post-modern world, the class system and its privileges are currently on trial in many different ways. Therefore, this text remains essential reading for our students. I have taught this text many times over the last twenty years and I have used these specific resources (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as distance learning materials for online lessons, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision – All have worked well for the students.

These dynamically presented PowerPoint lessons each include: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking challenge, an extension task connected to critical vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary. This bundle also contains two ‘Half-Term Assessment – Guided Essay Writing’ lessons and five ‘Characterisation’ lessons and a ‘End-Term Assessment – Guided Essay Writing’ lesson. These are complete resources with no further work required from the teacher.
