This online exhibition offered by the Irish Cultural Centre in Paris will give pupils an insight into the turbulent history of Irish independence.
These B1+/B2 texts are a means for your students to better understand Ireland’s troubled history while learning / revising the lexical fields of war and violence.
This resource could either be used as an independent activity or included in a DNL lesson, for example part of the sequence on The Irish Question in our online textbook History 1re. It’s a good addition to Shine Bright 1e File 9 The Emerald Isle or background to Shine Bright AMC File 17 Border Line or Shine Bright LLCER File 20 The Irish Art of Exile.
