This legacy page concerns an arts competition that took place back in 2023 However, I have left it online as I think the topic is still relevant. Irish mythology does include some great stories featuring some really impressive women and girls. I really must get around to updating a few of the slides’ to create a stand alone’ version of the programme.
Celebrating Women and Girls in Irish Mythology
An interactive support package for Primary and younger Secondary Students
Feel free to download this interactive Google Slides presentation as a teaching aid for exploring the wonderful old Irish stories set in their early Medieval pre-Norman Irish context. The programme is ideal for 3rd to 6th classes and there will be much to engage younger secondary age-groups.
The programme is designed to encourage class and group discussion, offers plenty of ‘follow up’ enrichment activity and even includes a guided, but class teacher lead, simple and fun, poetry activity utilising a poetic style inspired by the early poet story tellers.
Booking a visit from Chris.
In-person workshops can usually only be offered to schools and libraries within reach of where I live in the North West of Ireland. However my comprehensive on-line video and interactive google presentations are available anywhere. They can also be backed with live Zoom visits and plenty of on-line support.
