'Creative Thinking- using King Lear to scaffold the learning for Leaving Certificate English, Paper
One.'

This webinar empowers teachers as they enable students to 'find their voice' across a range of
language genres. It supports teachers to develop comprehension and composition skills in students
through their study of a prescribed text, King Lear. The webinar will illustrate scaffolded
writing opportunities and these opportunities will be enriched by the introduction of other short
stimulus pieces that will support students' learning assessed in Leaving Certificate, Higher Level,
Paper One.

Teachers who attend the webinar will also receive a resource booklet.
