For An Inspector calls you can revise the quotes (and for all the others) Then you can plan an essay by thinking of big points and write and plan quotes for example with AIC you can plan for a theme question by planning quotes for age division ,gender divide, socialists and etc

Try doing character and theme analysis for each play/book you're working on. That way you can be prepared for any sort of question that might come up. But most importantly you've got to do exam questions. That is the only way you can improve you essay writing skills.
thanks so much. and i would be massively grateful if you could give any advice on how to write essays
Our teacher taught us this:
QUESTION Refer back to the question in your topic sentence. LANGUAGE Language analysis METHOD What the methods demonstrate FORM If it's a poem, play. In Jekyll and Hyde this is: what the setting says about the character what characters says about the other character STRUCTURE Link to wider parts of the text Character changes (in AIC Eric and Sheila's character transformation) CONTEXT (This can be embedded throughout) Era it was written in and society.
All of this should be included in all paragraphs. So do three paragraphs ensuring it has all of the above in. Do introduction and conclusion as well.
