An Inspector Calls revision game
A targeted revision resource, this game is based on the famous Blockbusters TV and board game format. GCSE English Literature students who are studying the play for their examinations can use this resource to enhance their understanding of the key characters, main themes and major events of the text.
The aim of this resource is to empower students with a deeper knowledge and greater confidence as they write about and analyse the play. Some activities ask students to focus on character, linking quotations from the text with their predominant characteristics. Other activities enable students to examine significant contextual components of the play, helping them confidently approach responses with a fuller contextual understanding.
Key features of this resource
Organised like the Blockbusters game, students can choose an activity and colour it in once complete. Activities help students layer their knowledge so that they have a more complete appreciation of the text.
Students can work across the 'board', diagonally, or in any way they choose to get as many sections coloured in and completed. This resource can be used in class competitions with time limits to bring a more competitive edge to revision time.
