3 pages of quiz cards for An Inspector Calls to use as part of revision with answers. Each question has a quotation and requires students to: 1. identify who said it 2. identify a technique used by Priestley 3. Answer a deeper question relating to the effect of the technique When printed off and photocopied back to back each card will have the answer on the reverse. I use these in folders (as shown in the image attached) and students spend the first 5-10 mins of certain lessons revising silently. Every correctly answered question moves a step back in the folder. Any question answered incorrectly moves back to the front. This is known as the Leitner method for retaining knowledge as part of regular testing. The Leitner method dictates which sections of the folder should be revised. The rota for his is also attached.

After hearing how useful chanting quotations was, from a colleague, for students in remembering key quotes, I led a session for year 11 that guided them through ways of remembering quotes for their literature exams. By the end of this session students will know 3 quotations relating to the inspector by heart. This is achieved through linking the quote to an image and possibly an action and then by repeatedly chanting the quotes. The resource also walks through the mark scheme with students and highlights how crucial quotations are in achieving marks. Students will also explore writer's methods used within the quotes Students are also exposed to an example question paper so they can see the lack of support they will receive and refers to the other literature questions. The final activity requires students to use the quotations they have learned to plan a response to an exam question about the inspector.
