An essay plan with suggested answers on the character of Eric Birling.
The PowerPoint lesson gives a basic introduction about the character of Eric and is suitable for lower ability students.
The planning sheet is more suited to pushing higher-attaining students.
Also contains a 10 quotation revision sheet and a blank template for students to have a go at explaining the quotations first.
6 Revision cards for the 6 characters in An Inspector Calls.
Each card contains
a list of adjectives to describe each character
5 key quotations
a brief explanation for each quotation
Also incudes a blank version to help test students’ understanding.
Also includes a PowerPoint to go through the answers.
Higher ability students should be encouraged to expand on the analysis using the success criteria.
Using this marking code will speed up your marking without compromising the quality and specificity of your marking because it transfers the time-consuming job of writing the targets out for each student from you to the students.
Your marking will look something like this:
WWW
1.
3.
7.
EBI
4.
10.
15.
Read the work and select 3 ways they have met the generic success criteria (WWW) and 3 ways they can improve further (EBI). The students have to then write out the target before trying to meet it. The 20 criteria start with the basics of using full stops and capital letters before moving on to much harder targets such as using a full range of punctuation. This should work with any creative writing task. Students can also use it a self-assessment tool.
I have also included a differentiated and more visually stimulating version which just has 8 targets.
2 differentiated writing frames to help students answer the following question:
Compare the ways the poets in My Last Duchess and one other poem (Ozymandias) present the power of pride. (30).
The tough version includes sentence starts for the initial conceptual comparisons while the tougher version offers more independence.
