Homework for Mr. Leamon's stuff...

1. Read the 3 Irish History Sheets (General Irish History / Irish Independence / Great Famine) and pick out and write in your books 10 main facts FROM EACH. (You will have 30 facts in all)

2. Answer these questions about the Seamus Heaney Poem ‘Digging.’ I am expecting about 2 sides of A4 IN TOTAL.

- How does the poem explore ideas of heritage and family tradition?


- What does the poem suggest about physical labour?


- Explain the image in the last line of the poem.

(Remember to make specific reference to Imagery, metaphor, structure, prosody, language techniques etc.)
