A' mìneachadh Chùil Lodair (2 uair a thìde)*

S1/2

*(Tha am prògram seo ri fhaighinn an dà chuid ann an Gàidhlig agus Beurla / This programme is offered in Gaelic and English)

This programme looks at the way we reconstruct history. Students will have the opportunity to investigate primary and secondary sources to create a picture of what happened at Culloden.

Activities include...

• Looking at letters, archaeology, costume and written accounts of the battle within groups (led by education staff)
• Extracting information and sharing with the larger group (led by education staff)
• Discussing the primary material, exploring the exhibition, touring the battlefield and presentations by education staff
• Using a worksheet to investigate the exhibition which prompts them to think critically about the people involved in the battle
• The Immersion Theater to experience the feel of the Battle
• A guided tour of the Battlefield that explores the events of the day and focuses on new archaeological discoveries

Tha am prògram seo a' toirt sùil air mar a bhios sinn ag ath-chruthachadh eachdraidh. Bidh cothrom aig sgoilearan stuthan prìomh agus dàrna-ìre a sgrùdadh airson obrachadh a-mach dè thachair aig Cùil Lodair

Am measg nan tachartasan bidh...

• Cothrom sùil a thoirt air litrichean, arc-eòlas, aodach agus aithrisean sgrìobhte mun Bhlàr ann am buidhnean (air a stiùireadh le luchd-obrach na roinne foghlaim)
• Fuasgladh fiosrachaidh, a thèid a chur an cèill an uair sin don bhuidhinn air fad (air a stiùireadh le luchd-obrach na roinne foghlaim)
• Còmhradh mu stuthan prìomh-ìre, rannsachadh an taisbeanaidh, cuairt timcheall Àrach a' Bhlàir agus taisbeanaidhean bho luchd-obrach na roinne foghlaim
• Rannsachadh an taisbeanaidh, a' cleachdadh duilleag-obrach a bheir orra smaoineachadh mu na daoine a bha an sàs anns a' Bhlàr
• An Tèatar Bogaidh gus faireachdainn cò ris a bha e coltach a bhith an sàs anns a' Bhlàr
• Cuairt timcheall Àrach a' Bhlàir gus sùil a thoirt air na thachair air an latha agus air na chaidh a lorg o chionn ghoirid
