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 (26 slides, approximately two hours teaching time) provides a step-by-step guide to a GCSE essay writing assessment. Working with the essay question of, ‘In what ways does JB Priestley challenge the existing class system through the demise of Eva Smith in An Inspector Calls?’ This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher.
