What do teachers say about this resource? (13016)
This resource feels like a "one-stop shop" for An Inspector Calls revision and teaching. This is an exceptionally detailed and pedagogically sound resource. It is well-researched, aligned with the AQA GCSE English Literature specification (8702), and provides thorough, scaffolded support for all assessment objectives (AO1–AO4). The mapping of each task to specific AOs helps teachers track skills progression effectively. Covers the key themes, context, and dramatic methods expected by AQA. Every major aspect of the play—character, theme, context, form, and structure—is covered across engaging mind maps. Its visual layout, engaging activities, and embedded differentiation make it suitable for a wide range of student abilities. The use of mind maps, timelines, illustrations, and vocabulary bookmarks caters well to visual and kinesthetic learners. Many tasks are tiered or open-ended, allowing access for both less confident and high-achieving students. The tasks such as character studies, vocabulary extension, and context analysis reflect the spirit and technical expectations of AQA exams. The resource promotes integrated responses, which is essential given how AQA mark schemes do not reward skills in isolation. This resource offers both structure and flexibility, making it ideal for lesson planning, intervention, revision, and homework. The depth and quality more than justify the investment.
