Geography: Mapping out the Rising
Focusing on a particular building or stronghold on the above map will help you deliver a clear and relevant lesson according to the Curriculum guidelines.
I have chosen to include resources and lesson ideas based on the General Post Office (GPO) as it was the biggest stronghold in the Rising, there is a lot of information available on it and it's history and it is easily accessible for school tours.
