Presentation on teaching 'Small Things Like These'
Here’s a 33-minute talk-through of ideas on teaching Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan. This is partly for the comparative module of the Leaving Certificate, but teachers in other circumstances should I hope find plenty of value in it too.
The presentation is not open-view, but password-protected, so if interested contact me. I’ll also send a PDF of the slides to you. If you find all this useful, a coffee or three would be nice.
