After the success of Fintan O’Toole’s ‘Irish Times’ series A History of Ireland in 100 Objects, and the subsequent book, a series of lesson plans for primary schools, based on some of the objects, will be launched tomorrow. The plans are available free online at 100objects.ie/education. An icon beside each object indicates whether it is of interest to primary or secondary students. The impressive lesson plans were compiled by the Royal Irish Academy and the National Museum of Ireland. There’s a step-by-step guide to how to deliver the lessons within the curriculum, and indicating which part of the curriculum is covered by each object. It includes lesson aims and objectives, and activities such as visual arts, drama, worksheets and quizzes. You can read how the 100 Objects project came about at iti.ms/1foe2SG.
