Statements for Discussion on An Inspector Calls

\

Click on the button above to access six statements for discussion on An Inspector Calls. They cover aspects of the play that students typically struggle with or form misconceptions about, and they’re based around important quotations. I’ve listed the statements below...

  1. Explain why Birling is ideally placed to look after others in the community
  2. Explain why Birling’s treatment of Eva Smith is unfair
  3. Explain why Birling’s view of employment is overly simplistic
  4. Explain how Alderman Meggarty and Gerald are similar
  5. Explain how you know that Birling only cares about himself
  6. Explain why Gerald’s behaviour is no less selfish than the behaviour of the others

They’re ideal for sharpening the speaking and listening skills of your wards.

Here’s a snip of the resource...
