An Inspector Calls – Teacher Description

This colouring poster introduces pupils to An Inspector Calls, the famous play by J. B. Priestley, first performed in 1945 and set in 1912. The play explores how the actions of one family affect the life of a young working-class woman and encourages readers to think about responsibility, fairness and the impact of their choices.

The poster features the main characters, the setting, key themes and a simple plot summary. It also highlights important ideas such as social responsibility, class inequality, gender roles and the importance of treating others with dignity and respect.

Pupils can use the poster to identify the main characters, discuss their actions and compare how each responds to Inspector Goole’s investigation. The colouring activity provides an engaging way to reinforce learning while encouraging discussion about the play’s themes and moral messages.

This resource is ideal for introducing the play, supporting GCSE English Literature lessons, revision activities, classroom displays or independent learning. It can also be used to encourage discussion about empathy, accountability and how individual choices can affect the lives of others.
