An original and creative Quarterly

Over these years in literature we have been reading and analyzing different poems and stories and the play " An Inspector Calls" written by J.B Priestley. For the literature quarterly and to integrate all these contents, we were asked to choose five stories and poems and "An Inspector Calls" and to follow the next steps:

1. First we should look after all the themes of the play and each story and poem
2. For each theme we should think about a thematic statement. What is  THEMATIC STATEMENT? It is a sentence that express a theme.
3. Then we should found a suitable quotation that support the thematic statement and explain how that quote supports the thematic statement.
4. Finally we should present all this in a creative presentation. We decided to do it in piktochart.
