Teach Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller with this comprehensive teaching pack designed for Years 11–12 English. This resource supports deep exploration of the American Dream, identity, memory, masculinity, family expectations, and illusion versus reality, while developing students’ analytical and essay-writing skills.

The pack includes a structured teaching sequence, contextual materials, and a 5-lesson interactive whole-class game that immerses students in the moral and psychological tensions of the play. With a focus on dramatic structure, symbolism, and Miller’s use of expressionistic techniques, this low-prep resource is ideal for senior English classrooms.

Social and historical context, including post-war America and the American Dream
A structured 6 week teaching sequence with classroom activities
A 5-lesson immersive whole-class game exploring character motivations, memory, and ethical dilemmas
