Kids Corner: GCSE An “Inspector Calls” resources

GCSE English Literature students in the UK will be studying “An Inspector Calls” by J.B. Priestley this academic year. So, being the loveable cuddly English Teacher that I am I thought, why not help everyone pick great revision materials to help them get the best results in their exams?

So, to help you get those awesome grades, I have chosen a fantastic revision book and an incredibly helpful audiobook.

SMARTPASS PLUS audio education study guide – An inspector calls – available on audible:

·         Includes 2 versions of the play, 1 with SmartPass commentary, and 1 with a complete audio re-enactment of the play.

·         SmartPass commentary is extremely easy to understand and goes into lots of detail throughout the whole play. There is a student and a teacher who discuss things that are happening, as well as things about the authors life, background of when the play was written, and important things to keep in mind for essays and exams.
