"An Inspector Calls" (Teacher ed)

We understand how difficult it can be for a student to feel involved in the world of literature, and for a teacher to evoke the excitement of live theatre in their classroom, and so have created the SmartPass range of audio education resources that enable students to experience, enjoy and appreciate the power of the written word in its fullest sense. "An Inspector Calls" is performed by actors from the RSC, BBC and the Royal National Theatre, with commentary and classroom materials written by teachers.

The drama brings the play alive while the commentary and analysis explores what Priestley is saying about society and why.

The guide may be used to teach the entire play, or as a dip-in resource.

In addition to experiencing the full text, social and historical notes are well placed within the commentary to help students engage with the play, to understand what life was like in the time Priestley wrote and set the play.

The guide's style and approach also helps train students to recognise key themes and express themselves with confidence.
