An Inspector Calls Booklet

This revision booklet is designed to support students in preparing for English Literature Paper 1 with a focused study of An Inspector Calls by J. B. Priestley. It builds secure knowledge of plot, character, themes, and context, while encouraging students to think critically about Priestley’s message and intentions.

The booklet provides character profiles, key extracts, and guided annotation tasks that help students explore how ideas about social responsibility, class, capitalism, gender, and generational divide are presented throughout the play. Contextual sections on Edwardian society, socialism, industrial relations, and historical events are carefully integrated to support AO3 understanding rather than treated in isolation.

Through structured questions, quotation analysis, and retrieval-style activities, students are guided to connect language, structure, and dramatic technique to meaning and audience impact. The booklet is suitable for classwork, independent revision, or intervention, and is designed to help students develop confident, evidence-based responses in preparation for assessment
