As you’ve no doubt heard, the Irish government has been working hard to bring Irish people living in Sudan back home. We know it’s a difficult time and you may be looking for ways to explain this situation to your students. Here are some teaching ideas and activities that you can use to help your students understand what’s happening in Sudan:
1. Watch a news segment together as a class. This can help your students understand the basics of what’s going on.
2. Discuss the implications of the situation on the people of Sudan. Ask your students to think about how it affects the lives of those living there.
3. Create a timeline of events related to the conflict in Sudan. This can help students get a better understanding of the chronology of events.
4. Have your students research the history and culture of Sudan. This can help them gain a better appreciation for the country and its people.
5. Have your students write a letter to the government expressing their concerns about the conflict in Sudan.
We hope these teaching ideas and activities help you and your students understand the situation a little better.
