Eva Smith's timeline in An Inspector Calls
Last updated: 15/11/2023
Contributor: Patrick Garrett
A timeline activity focused on Eva/Daisy's experiences. Students use the template provided to chart the key events chronologically. Also includes an evaluative writing task on the subject of the 'well-made play'.
The resource is useful for recapping the plot after a first reading; applying the form of the 'well-made play'; understanding the chronology of Eva Smith's experiences in the play; practising skimming and scanning a text to find evidence to fulfil a specific purpose. Includes a completed timeline for teachers or for students to check their work.
An extract from the resource:
- Go through each Act, and plot the events in Eva/Daisy’s life.
- Add a clear ‘text box’ or label to explain what happened to Eva and what she was doing or experiencing.
TIP: Look closely at what the Inspector says first, as he is often the one who clarifies specifically what happened and when exactly.
