D) Understanding of Priestley’s message?
ALL: How could this essay be improved to get a G8/9?
Essay is Aleyna Mutlu’s 24/30 essay from recalled papers – in spinner!

15. A) Can you summarise the students overall argument
A) Can you summarise the students overall argument? Mrs Birling is used as a way to represent ignorance of the higher classes – Priestley uses her ironically
B) The 3 main points / evidence? 1) Exposition deliberately shows that Mrs Birling is stubborn (“the boy”; “I”) – manipulates – control 2) Mrs Birling & upper classes fail to take responsibility in society
3) Through Mrs Birling’s behaviour, we learn about the upper classes keeping the divide with the lower classes (she doesn’t change)
C) Most interesting comments on language/structure/dramatic effect? “boy” – innocence – juxtaposes “squiffy”  drinking Personal pronouns “I” – “I did nothing” – “ashamed of” – above others “Girls of that class” – “that” – objectifies Eva
D) Understanding of Priestley’s message? ‘Priestley wanted to show how bad the views were…”  why? How? Context  specific links to the real society. ‘Mrs Birling is used as a device’
G8/9 – Better sign-posting of argument – always talking about what the character represents – subtle alternative interpretation

16. Walking Talking Mock: An Inspector Calls
How does Priestley present the character of Gerald and his interaction with women in AIC?
A) What is our overall argument? Gerald is used to represent the upper classes’ attitudes towards women: on the surface he appears heroic to the plights of women but in reality he is dillusional – he actually is condescending towards women and his motives are questionable - hypocrisy
B) The 3 main points?
C) Most interesting comments on language/structure/dramatic effect?
D) Understanding of Priestley’s message

17. Walking Talking Mock: An Inspector Calls
How does Priestley use Eva Smith to present the struggles of the poor?
A) What is our overall argument? Eva Smith’s character is a lower class woman in the time period – her interactions with each of the Birling family represent the continuous struggles and perseverance of the lower classes;
B) The 3 main points?
C) Most interesting comments on language/structure/dramatic effect?
D) Understanding of Priestley’s message

18. Analysing Writers’ Methods
How does the writer use the following METHODS to make you understand the key messages and have an effect on you?
Adjectives, verbs, nouns, adverbs which have interesting ideas/connotations linked to them
Patterns and motifs: when a writer keeps mentioning or going back to the same idea or image.
Dramatic Irony
Metaphors; Similes; Personification; Pathetic Fallacy
Juxtaposition/Contrast
Climactic Curtains
Symbolism
Foreshadowing
Juxtaposition/contrast between characters
Imagery
Flashbacks
Symbolism (what do objects, images and characters represent?)
Semantic Fields (groups of words that create an effect together)
Cyclical structure
Tone
 Dialogue
Punctuation for effect
Stage Directions
Challenge: Can you think of any others?
