Scheme of Work for An Inspector Calls

Click on the button above to purchase a scheme work for An Inspector Calls. There are four main parts to it:

1. Overview notes for each lesson
2. PowerPoint slides for each lesson
3. Essay tasks and plans
4. Extra bits totalling seven resources

The scheme is notionally based around eighteen lessons. However, each lesson won’t neatly fit into the unit of a single hour. For example, the lessons where students are required to write an essay will take longer because additional time will be needed for planning and feedback. Equally, it might be the case that you need to go back and reteach parts of the play or you might just want to spend longer on bits like the Inspector’s final speech. Here’s the overview:

Accessing the Resources

I’ve sorted the resources into a series of folders. The folder for each lesson contains the relevant notes and slides (plus additional bits in some cases). Example below:

Overview Notes

The notes are designed to provide students with the fundamental knowledge they need to engage with play and, later, to help support their revision. They can be reduced to A5-size and stuck into books, and then annotated and expanded upon. They can also be printed as a booklet and used as a study companion. They link directly to each of the big questions and the PowerPoint slides.

If you want to purchase the just the overview notes (i.e. and not the other scheme of work resources), all you need to do is click here

PowerPoint Slides

The slides for each lesson contain three common elements:

1. A Do Now task
2. A big question
3. Pre-reading questions

The pre-reading questions are for students to engage with before the play is read by the whole class. For example, I ask my students to independently skim-read the relevant section from the play and jot down their answers. After some quick feedback, we then read the play together. You might want to use them more as review questions though i.e. for students to complete afterwards.

Essay Tasks

There are two essay tasks. Each one contains a full plan, which can be easily adapted. You’ll notice that I’ve provided quite a bit of guidance, so you might want to remove some it. I figured that having more rather than less would be better though!

Extra Bits

Finally, you’ll notice a folder with some extra resources in. I thought they’d be useful. There’s a couple of booklets and few documents that will hopefully help to support the scheme of work. I’ve also included a bank of past exam tasks.

Hope the stuff’s useful –
