Priestley, an Inspector Calls Study Map: Learning Lessons

(0)
An original study map for 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to work through as they consider the theme of learning lessons, as it is presented in the play. This resource works well as whole class discussion aftter pupils have annotated the map with quotatioons and responses in pairs, groups, or independently. I created this study map for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole text. It also forms a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the play.

Priestley, An Inspector Calls Study Maps: Mrs and Mr Birling

(0)
Two original study maps for the play 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to complete as they study each character, Mrs and Mr Birling. Both study maps include completed versions for teachers to use to go through pupils' responses, which works well as whole class discussion. I created these study maps for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole play, but colleagues also used them effectively as resources as they taught the text. They also form a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the characters.

KS3 Writing: evaluating PEE paragraphs (WAGOLL)

(0)
A lesson where pupils look at exemplar POINT-EVIDENCE-EXPLANATION paragraphs (written by my previous pupils on 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', but the success criteria of structuring paragraphs can be applied to any text), then use a table of success criteria to evaluate them in groups. With the understanding of these success criteria, and having seen 'What a Good One Looks Like', pupils then self-evaluate and improve their own work.
