Young Reporters: Gaelic in the Community
Young Reporters: Gaelic in the Community
We would like invite pupils (most suitable for P4+) to become Gaelic reporters, exploring how Gaelic is used in their community and creating content that represents Gaelic in the area where they live.
With support from teachers, pupils can conduct research in their local area to find out how much Gaelic is spoken and used locally. The research can be compiled in an article, photo with description or video format. Among ways to collect data, pupils can research the internet, send emails and conduct interviews with local community groups. Their article or video will be uniquely theirs, showcasing their creativity, teamwork, and understanding of Gaelic language within their local area.
Below, you’ll find a PDF with detailed instructions to guide pupils through each step of the program.
