Suffragettes – Stories from Parliament (Part 1 of 2) Bonfire Night. The history The year was 1605 and some English Catholics were angry because the King of England, James the first, was treating them badly.

Bonfire Night

In November 1605 a group of men made a plan to blow up the Houses of Parliament (the government buildings) in London. An enormous explosion was planned for November 5th. This was the day that the King was due to open parliament. The plan is known as the ‘Gunpowder Plot’ and the leader of the group was called Guy Fawkes. Bonfires, Guys and fireworks On November 5th people remember the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by celebrating ‘Bonfire Night’. Food It’s normally quite cold in November in Britain, so on Bonfire Night people wear hats, scarves and gloves to spend the evening outside.

För att få en bild av sammanhanget tittade vi först på en film från SLI.se med den självförklarande titeln GREAT BRITAIN, artikel V4258. Under tiden som vi tittade fick eleverna svara på frågor om filmens innehåll genom webbtjänsten Socrative.

Eleverna går in på sidan, skriver in klassrumskoden som jag ger dem, kopplat till mitt konto, och jag startar quizet. Efter introduktionen fick eleverna ge sig ut för att själva upptäcka London.
