St Patrick's Day Lesson

In this class we used the following material from Reward English: a quiz about Saint Patrick, Ireland and the Irish, a text to check the answers to the quiz and finally a crossword puzzle to review the new words and to learn more about the topic (the answers to all the clues are in the text). The students were surprised to learn that the official colour of Ireland is blue!

Burns Night

As a Scottish person, I generally celebrate Burns Night on the 25th of January. This evening of haggis eating and poetry reading is in honour of Scottish national poet, Robert Burns. In this lesson, there is a video from scotland.org about Burns' life as well as a worksheet and a hilarious video all about haggis that also comes with a worksheet. Everything is on the padlet below. The fantastic haggis video came from Michelle Henry's website.
