The Stone Age: Newgrange & Knowth — B1 EAL Workbook for Leaving Cert Art History

A CEFR B1 workbook that takes EAL students from reading for detail to planning, drafting and revising two exam-style paragraphs on Newgrange and Knowth — the Stone Age passage tombs of the Boyne Valley on the Leaving Cert Art History course (Pre-Christian Ireland).

✏️ Fully editable Word document — not a locked PDF. Adapt the vocabulary, add your own examples, adjust the difficulty or add your school logo to suit your students.

Designed by a post-primary EAL Coordinator for students who are past the basics but need the academic language to write a strong Art History answer — the passive voice, the language of theory, and well-linked sentences.
