Day Two of our Politics trip up to Northern Ireland. A Bogside Mural Tour, The Apprentice Boys Museum, Bloody Sunday Museum and the James Connolly Museum. A great trip to explore the Topic of Identity on the course @POLSOCTeachers

Does anyone else find using snippets of speeches useful in classes? Sometimes a simple way to spark some discussion and debate.
Lots could be taken here to form an essay title (Links to Social Contract, Social Class, Inequality,Human Rights, Education etc.) 👇🏻
