A rigorous and detailed unit focused upon J. B. Priestly's classic 1945 play 'An Inspector Calls'. This unit has been created specifically for the new AQA Paper 2a (Modern Texts) exam to be sat from June 2017. This unit focuses upon analysis of the whole text, punctuated by two practice exam questions (one focused upon character, the other on theme) plus a revision quiz.
