AIC Character Quotation Revision Cards

Within this download is a set of six revision cards, which have been ‘tried and tested’ in the classroom and can be printed as a booklet to assist teaching and revision of Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls’.

In the collection are single cards relating to each key character in the play - Mr Birling, Mrs Birling, Sheila, Eric, Gerald, Inspector Goole - and a selection of hand-chosen quotes (3-5) linked to each of these characters. Mr Birling’s card has been completed, as scaffolding for students’ completion of the later cards, and this scaffold is slowly removed as the cards are completed. Each card asks for quotes, techniques, and for the student to think about the effect of these techniques.

There are several ways that these cards can be used:

• printed as a booklet for a revision task
• used for homework
• cut out and used as a ‘card sort’ activity or ‘pair’ activity
