Learn all about Easter through an Irish lens here.
While your students will likely be musing on what egg the Easter Bunny is going to bring them, this is your opportunity to teach your class on the very Irish history associated with this time of year; The 1916 Easter Rising. These resources will assist your teaching when it comes to this historic event in Irish history, presenting a concise but detailed account of what occurred and why, and the fallout from this rebellion that took place over a century ago.
The resources also delve into Irish traditions associated with Easter, including food, history, religion, and even dance – who knows, it might encourage your students to get involved in more traditions other than just the exchange of collect eggs.
Suitable for students up to Junior Cert level, this Poster, Presentation and Classroom Pack is designed to support and enhance your teaching efforts, providing comprehensive materials about the significance of Easter to Irish History by offering it in a comprehensive fashion.
