THE HISTORY OF CONFLICT
IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Below you’ll find a scheme of work to teach the history of conflict in Northern Ireland. The history is told as two competing narratives: Protestant/unionist and Catholic/nationalist. It’s four weeks but you can choose to teach fewer — each week is focused on one enquiry question and stands alone.

If you scroll down, you find that each week has a supporting dual narrative video to help you prepare the class, pdf packs with 20 sources for students to explore digitally or for you to print, a question which can be debated at the end of the week, and a PowerPoint lesson plan.
