About This Product

GCSE Literature: ‘An Inspector Calls’ Act 1 Part 1 (‘Opening’ – ‘Birling/Croft Alliance’)

An exceptional teaching resource tailored for Grades 9-12. Exploring JB Priestley's class system and sexual bias, the Birling family faces deep prejudices under questioning from Inspector Goole.

  • Pertinent to our current dialogues around class privileges.
  • Proven utility in classroom and distance learning contexts; also effective as a homework assignment and revision tool.

Presentation contents:

  1. A well-designed PowerPoint presentation of eighteen slides spanning approximately ninety minutes of instructional time.
  2. A starter activity, comprehension questions, an academic writing task, theme tracking challenges, an extension task on critical vocabulary and a plenary exercise comprise the bulk of each lesson plan.
  3. Detailed homework assignments extend learning beyond formal instructional sessions.

No further preparation required for educators - focus remains on instruction delivery rather than arrangement efforts. Ideal for large groups, small cohorts or even one-on-one instructions alike.
