The book we’re reading
A revision session pairing character study with poetry and exam technique. Students review the characters of J.B. Priestley's An Inspector Calls — the Birlings, Gerald, the Inspector and Eva Smith — tracking how each embodies the play's ideas about class, responsibility and change, and make cue cards to lock in key quotations for fast recall. A round of exam tips and revision advice keeps the focus on exam readiness. The poetry turns to Imtiaz Dharker's "Blessing," about a burst water pipe in a Mumbai slum and the sudden, precious rush of water, and Sujata Bhatt's "Search for My Tongue," which uses Gujarati script to explore losing and reclaiming a mother tongue. Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice is suggested for further review of its plot and key scenes.
