This is an extremely useful resource to be used alongside the study of J.B.Priestley’s ‘An Inspector Calls’. There are three booklets included that cover seven weeks of homework. The first booklet contains weekly comprehensive homework tasks that requires pupils to learn key quotations, a short piece of contextual information and three pieces of vocabulary. The second booklet contains weekly tests to check their learning. These tests are cumulative, so require pupils to retain knowledge from previous weeks. The final booklet contains the answers to all weekly tests to enable teachers to quickly and accurately mark pupils’ work. This could alternatively be distributed to pupils in order for them to self or peer mark. These booklets have proved to be invaluable in preparing our pupils for the demands of GCSE English Literature. Their ability to retain quotations and discuss the text confidently has greatly improved, and the pupils can see their learning is very clearly structured.
