An Inspector Calls

(0)
There are three revision lessons for An Inspspector Calls that are fully differentiated with bronze, silver, gold tasks, including ‘challenge’ tasks to stretch the most able. The lessons include model answers, bell tasks, learning objectives, key quotes, opportunities for self/peer assessment and plenaries to conclude the lessons. I have used these in the run up to the exam as each lesson leads carefully to a GCSE exam style question, which the students will be able to answer having completed the starter activities and other learning activities which provide them with the information to plan and write their own responses. I only ever sell things that I know work well with my own year 11 classes and mine found these lessons very useful in developing their knowledge of the play.
