In class on Wednesday, we looked at videos and other sources, and discussed selected aspects of popular culture in Ireland. We investigated Irish Traveller history, lifestyle and politics, and the impact of the Magdalene Sisters Laundries for girls and the Industrial Schools for the boys.
This post will serve as a space for sharing reflections on, ideas and inquiries about, and responses to our work in class this week, my resources, and developing and ongoing questions about aspects of Irish popular culture and the divides that exist as well as found resources while cybersleuthing, and during discussions and other research activities. Students will also provide relevant and excellent links, as context for what and how they are learning in this unit.
