Here is a fun twist to teaching about the independence movement in Ireland. We have a free video you can play for students that features a young Irishman reading aloud the 1916 Irish Proclamation of Independence. His authentic Irish accent is certain to be a treat for teenagers who may have never heard a real Irish accent before.
You can also view the video here, where we also have the complete text. There is likewise a free printable DBQ (document-based questions) worksheet that contains the complete text of this important historical document.
