As we study An Inspector Calls by JB Priestley we look at how a generation gap seems to form between young and older characters, particularly in Act 3 as The Inspector leaves and allows the characters to discuss amongst themselves what has happened and what they have discovered about themselves. The lesson includes differentiated activities, thought-provoking questions and opportunities to link context to the play.
Power and Conflict poetry revision resource which gets students to build revision cubes using cube nets and a collection of around 90 symbols related to each of the poems. Students are allocated one of the fifteen poems, decorate their cube net related to one of the poems, choose between 5-10 symbols related to their poem, and then work with another student to make comparisons and comparative notes on their two poems. A simple idea but could be useful for last-minute revision.
