English Teaching Resources: An Inspector Calls Scheme of Work (JB Priestley)
Complete Scheme of work (Includes PowerPoint and worksheets)
Our An Inspector Calls scheme of work is an outstanding teaching resource for teachers of Priestley’s play including a 160 slide PowerPoint, 73 worksheets and step by step lesson plans to help teach one of KS4 / GCSE Literature’s most well-loved drama texts.
Each lesson is structured using the four part lesson plan: starter activity, introduction, development and plenary.  The resource fully utilises PowerPoint as an effective teaching resource, all PowerPoint slides are clear and easy to follow and use a number of techniques to help students develop knowledge and understanding of An Inspector Calls.  Large headlines, bright and effective use of colour, photographs, cartoons and video clips are all used to make the resource come alive on either an interactive whiteboard or overhead projector.   The resource can also be used very effective on a PC or laptop in one to one tuition.

Although the resource includes worksheets, the real advantage of using PowerPoint is the ability to edit the content of each slide.  Teachers can tweak, personalise and differentiate every slide in the PowerPoint as all our PPT resources are fully editable.
