Research your figure from the 1916 Rising. Include the following details in the project:
- Born: where/when?
- Member of (which organisations)?
- Believed in?
- What did they do before the Rising to support it?
- What they did during the 1916 Rising?
- Arrested/injured/executed/life after the Rising?
- Has anything been named after them? (Street, station, bridge?)
- Picture (sketch/printed)
Remember, in school we will use your knowledge of your historical figure to imagine a letter they would have written to a friend or family member during the time of the Rising. Let me know if you are having any difficulty finding information about your figure. Here are some websites to start you off…
