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 this specific resource (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material in online lessons, as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – All have worked well for the students. This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (24 slides, approximately ninety minutes teaching time) works as an effective bridge into the text and includes: • Focused activities connected to the life and work of the author. • Written activities and speaking and listening tasks connected to the leading themes. • Observation tasks connected to the characterisation of leading personalities within the text. This PowerPoint lesson also includes a starter activity, an extension task and a homework assignment. This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher.
