It might be a good idea to touch upon terrorism in the discussion. Ex. 6: (a) False – the English fleet wasn't defeated. Elizabeth was angered by the very attempt to invade England and wanted to take revenge on all the English Catholics who – she thought – helped Catholic Spain prepare the invasion. (b) True (c) False – they gave up digging because they discovered a secret room below the chambers where the lords met. (Note: Some people think that it was the King himself and his men who framed the conspirators into organising the plot so that they could have a reason for introducing even stricter restrictions on the English Catholics and confiscating their lands and possessions.) (d) False – one of the conspirators (by the name of Francis Tresham) sent a letter (on 26th October) to his cousin (Lord Monteagle) asking him not to attend Parliament on opening day. The cousin passed the letter on to the people working with the king. (e) True. Ex. 7: (students' personal reactions) PHOTOCOPIABLE © Pearson Central Europe Sp. z o.o. 2013 author: Marcin Smolik .

  • Guy Fawkes Night / Script
    GUY FAWKES NIGHT / SCRIPT th Every year on the 5 of November people across the UK celebrate Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night, they enjoy fireworks and bonfire parties, but not many people really know the reason behind the celebration. Its history begins more than 400 years ago. After Queen Elizabeth I took the throne of England in 1558, she made some laws against the Roman Catholics. They were treated unfairly and hoped that the new king, James I, would change the laws, but he didn’t. Instead, he passed even more laws against the Catholics when he became the King of England after the death of Elizabeth I in 1603. At that time, Catholic people in England were discriminated against. For example, Catholics were not allowed an education and had to practice their religion in secret. There were even fines for people who didn’t attend the Protestant church on Sunday or on holy days. Guy Fawkes was one of those people who didn’t feel happy with the ways Catholics were treated at that time. So, in 1605, group of 14 Catholic men led by Robert Catesby, plotted to kill King James and his leaders. They wanted to blow up the House of Parliament in London on the day set for the King James to open the Parliament. The men bought a house next door to the House of Parliament. The house had a cellar which went under the parliament building. They placed 36 barrels of gunpowder under the house and waited for the king to arrive. Guy Fawkes was given a job to keep watch over the barrels of gunpowder and to light the fuse.

  • Guy Fawkes, from Villain to Icon
    FACULTAD de FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO de FILOLOGÍA INGLESA Grado en Estudios Ingleses TRABAJO DE FIN DE GRADO Guy Fawkes, from villain to icon Rafael Calle Cardona Tutor: Berta Cano Echevarría 2016-2017 1 2 ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I will be explaining and analyzing the changes that the historical figure of Guy Fawkes underwent from being one of the most hated figures in England, with an annual celebration to commemorate his death, to a fictional character representing the fight against totalitarianism in the late 20th century. And finally, how, in the early years of the 21st century he became the face of the international hacktivist group known as Anonymous. Furthermore, I will be analyzing the historical context in which the character of Guy Fawkes was conceived as well as explaining why he was the main figure who was accounted responsible for the Gunpowder Plot despite the fact that he was not its leader. Moreover, I will analyze why the group Anonymous chose the “Fawkesque” mask from the character from the graphic novel as well as the movie V for Vendetta which was at the same time inspired in the historical character, to become the face of the 21st century hacktivist movement. Keyword: Guy Fawkes, England, Anonymous, Hacktivism, V for Vendetta, Gunpowder Plot. En este trabajo, explicaré y analizaré los cambios que sufrió la figura histórica de Guy Fawkes, de ser una de las más odiadas en Inglaterra, con una celebración anual que para conmemorar su muerte, a un personaje de ficción que representa la lucha contra el totalitarismo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

  • Traditions and Holidays in the Uk and the Usa
    TRADITIONS AND HOLIDAYS IN THE UK AND THE USA JANUARY UP-HELLY-AA (UK) The Shetlands are islands near Scotland. In the ninth century men from Norway came to the Shetlands. These were the Vikings. They came to Britain in ships and carried away animals, gold, and sometimes women and children, too. Now, 1,000 years later, people in the Shetlands remember the Vikings with a festival. They call the festival ”Up-Helly-Aa”. Every winter the people of Lerwick, a town in the Shetlands, make a model of a ship. It's a Viking ”longship”, with the head of a dragon at the front. Then, on Up-Helly-Aa night in January, the Shetlanders dress in Viking clothes. They carry the ship through the town to the sea. There they burn it. They do this because the Vikings put their dead men in ships and burned them. But there aren't any men in the modern ships. Now the festival is a party for the people of the Shetland Islands. THE THIRD MONDAY OF JANUARY MARTIN LUTHER KING’S BIRTHDAY (USA) Martin Luther King was an important black leader who wanted equality for black people and fought for their civil rights. Preaching non-violence as Gandhi he tried not to consider the blacks as second-class citizens. He was murdered in 1968. Because of his work, Congress made his birthday a public holiday in 1986. FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 14TH – ST. VALENTINE’S DAY (UK, USA) Nobody knows very much about St. Valentine. One story is that he was murdered by Roman soldiers in the third century AD because he was a Christian.

Ásdís Ýr Ólafsdóttir. 301183- 2679. Kennaraháskóli Íslands Kennarabraut, grunnskólakennarafræði Maí 2008 2 1. Abstract This essay focuses on three major British festive traditions and activities related to those traditions. These activities are designed to fit the 10 th grade in Icelandic Elementary schools and are supported by Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory. This essay is meant to enlighten teachers about three traditions and prepare them to teach their students about those traditions. In so doing it is hoped that both teachers’ and students’ knowledge of British culture will be deepened. The three festive traditions I have chosen to explore are Guy Fawkes Day, Valentine’s Day and May Day. These traditions span the entire school year and are easy to learn about as they all have something in common with our traditions, even though they are not the same. Discussing the differences in our traditions and the British ones is a good way for the students to broaden their minds and widen their perspective about Britain. 3 Table of Contents 1.

  • Who Were the People Behind the Gunpowder Plot?
    Who were the people behind the Gunpowder plot? Guy Fawkes Guy Fawkes is the name most associated with the Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes was born in York in 1570. Recruited as the gunpowder expert, he was the one caught red-handed in the basement storeroom under the House of Lords with the barrels of gunpowder on the 5 November 1605. He has become our Bonfire Night 'celebrity'. Who were the other men involved? Robert Catesby Robert Catesby was born around 1572 in Lapworth, Warwickshire. He was the charismatic mastermind behind the Gunpowder Plot. John and Christopher Wright John (born 1568) and Christopher (born 1570) were from Welwick, Yorkshire. These brothers were viewed as dangerous Catholics by the authorities before they had even been drawn into the plot. Thomas Percy Thomas Percy was born around 1560 in Beverley, Yorkshire. Thomas was a violent, wild character. He was married to Christopher and John's sister, Martha and came from a very wealthy, powerful family. Francis Tresham Francis Tresham was born in 1567 in Rushton, Northamptonshire. Francis was perhaps the most reluctant of the conspirators, and he may have sent the Monteagle letter warning his brother-in-law not to attend Parliament on the 5 November 1605. Thomas and Robert Winter Thomas Winter was among the first to be drawn into the plot. His brother Robert was recruited later. It was Thomas who tried to get the conspirators to abandon the plot when he realised that it had been discovered. The Winter brothers were born in Huddington, Worcestershire. Using Maps The Gunpowder Plot conspirators were born all around England.
