This lesson was created for a 5th class which included a number of students that used English as an additional language (EAL). However, I believe the lesson could be altered and used with any class regardless of the linguistic makeup of the class.

I drew on my own literacy lesson plans, the new Primary Language Curriculum and various online educational resources including those available through Poetry Ireland and Language Explorers websites to inform the lesson plan.
This lesson focuses on bilingual poetry with the aim of developing literacy skills.
