This is a super clear powerpoint consisting of 43 slides that guides the class through the character of Eric Birling in ‘An Inspector Calls’. There are lots of activities for the students which can be completed as a class, in groups/ pairs or individually. There are answers on separate slides to all questions/activities. Use of short key quotations allow plenty of opportunities for students to closely analyse language. Additionally, there are also some ideas for top-level context and exploring the text in different ways which helps students reach the highest grades. The lesson finishes with two essay questions so teachers can choose the one they need to teach according to their exam board. One is an essay question which follows the format of AQA and Edexcel. There is a full top level answer as well for students to read. One is with an extract-based exam paper suitable for Eduqas students. This includes detailed slides showing how to annotate, how to plan and, really usefully, an example of a top level answer. My students found this really helpful- I hope yours do too!

This is an engaging lesson to introduce the idea of perspectives/viewpoints/attitudes and how these change over time. It works really well as an introduction to the GCSE language paper 2 and suits all exam boards. It’s a good opportunity for paired and class discussion and is helpful for covering a lot of history in a brief, low-stakes way. There is a writing task at the end, and this can be expanded to write about the attitudes in the other pictures for home learning or extended writing. It takes my classes an hour and prompts lots of discussion. They seem to really enjoy it and it helps them understand the premise for the reading section of language paper 2.
