J.B.Priestley's life and career

A reminder, in case you lose your own copy! Feel free to comment if you have a strong view about one of these areas, or find something else out yourself.

Remember... learn spellings a little at a time. Put post-its up with words you struggle with and use a strategy that works for you.
