Presenting Famine Projects

Today in school we presented our projects based on the Famine in Ireland.

The project headings were....

Ireland before the famine + Causes of the famine….blight etc.

British influence + absentee landlords

Workhouses + soup kitchens

Choctaw Nation and other sources of charity

Black 47  (include death stats and types of diseases)

Emigration and coffin ships (include stats and destinations)

Results of the famine (Ireland and the world after the famine ) + famine time line.

The projects were very informative and were presented quite articulately. Well done to all the boys who worked very hard on them.
