It’s identical in structure to the one on [A Christmas Carol](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/a-christmas-carol-essay-upgrade). It has two parts: - **Page 1: A past exam task (AQA)** - **Page 2: A basic essay with suggestions for improvement ** The essay is on the left-hand side of page two and the suggestions for improvement are on the right. The red boxes are just there to illustrate what I mean! Here’s a snip ⤵️ ![An Inspector Calls Essay Upgrade](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/An%20Inspector%20Calls%20Essay%20Upgrade.png?width=800&height=561&name=An%20Inspector%20Calls%20Essay%20Upgrade.png) When I printed the resource for the students I teach, I popped some lines onto the right-hand side of an A3 page and trimmed the excess paper from around the margins. I then directed students towards upgrading specific paragraphs – they didn’t rewrite the whole thing. Here’s a (very wonky) picture ⤵️ ![AIC](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/AIC.jpg?width=800&height=551&name=AIC.jpg) Hope the resource is useful – Doug [hello@douglaswise.co.uk](mailto:hello@douglaswise.co.uk) [![⭐ PREMIUM RESOURCES](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143698377/interactive-183676767443.png)](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJWNouymn5CYEhi7Ec4ve79oyajsG2NGc2fiavjIzREZFRS3uDTR1BTCbxkF7kq7xa%2B3JgGvQkNiOjF0SkY2Li3NdYLqrWZ9fmOs6oI10IHhM0NsAhbo44HfxlznF7O0h1SwrZaEc4MhxROS16uW2aG8H8CSjGmVFboOVGAbkSzfVZzuHVSt80w8iq6Q%2BgnpO6QbqODwU7dh1yO0EyGvF3ZXGU%3D&webInteractiveContentId=183676767443&portalId=143698377) [!["These bundles are brilliant and save so much time!
