This A3 revision character timeline is designed to help students track Arthur Birling’s character development across the three acts of An Inspector Calls. It focuses on the three key assessment objectives:

• AO1 (meaning)
• AO2 (language, form, structure)
• AO3 (Priestley’s message/social/historical context).

The activity encourages students to see not just what Birling says, but why Priestley presents him that way, how his character changes—or fails to change—and the broader societal critique embedded in his words.
