Suitable for the classroom in T1 and T2 language contexts, with a range of oral, listening and written activities drawing on key aspects of An Cailín Ciúin, themes include family, filmmaking in Irish, Gaeltacht na nDéise, music, and the journey of this extraordinary film, as well as key character studies

Speaking about this guide, Head of IFI Education Alicia McGivern said, 'We are thrilled to offer this free download studyguide for teachers to accompany our streaming offer on IFI@Schools and in cinema screenings around the country. With the support of COGG and in association with Break Out Pictures, teachers can engage with An Cailín Ciúin in their classrooms, watching the film and choosing from a whole range of follow up work in the guide.'

Written by Bernardine Nic Giolla Phádraig, this original guide, supported by An Chomhairle um Oideachas Gaeltachta & Gaelscolaíochta (COGG), will assist teachers in bringing An Cailín Ciúin into their classrooms in a rich and stimulating way.
