Checking up home task: posters about their favourite holidays (work group).
II. Presentation: Bonfire night
Today we will talk about holidays in English-speaking countries. And let`s pay attention to “Guy Fawkes Night”. What do you know about this holiday? Have you ever heard about it? (pupils answer). Ok, let's read about this holiday and then answer the questions.
1: A tradition which is observed in England today is to celebrate the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes Night or as it is widely known amongst English children Bonfire Night.
2: On this evening Englishmen remember the Gunpowder Plot which was discovered on the 5th of November 1605. At that time there were political and religious difficulties in England.
3: Guy Fawkes was one of the men who took part in this plot and it was he, who was found in the cellars with the gunpowder on the evening of the 5th of November.
4: Nowadays the evening of the 5th of November is remembered by English children in the following way. It`s a custom that in the weeks before the 5th of November children make “a guy” named after Guy Fawkes. The word “guy” in the English language now means a sort of doll made of straw, pieces of material and old clothes.
5: The children paint a face on their guy, then in the two or three weeks before the 5th of November they wheel the guy on a wheel barrow around the streets and stop a passer-by.
6: “A penny for the guy, a penny for the guy” they shout. What they want is, of course, that passer-by should give them money which they will spend on fireworks.
7: In this weeks before Guy Fawkes Night the bonfire is also prepared. Wood, rubbish, anything which is not needed is collected together in a large heap ready for the evening of the 5th of November.
8: A very large bonfire may be organized in a park in a large town or city and controlled by that town or city, or it may be simply a smaller fire at the end of a street in someone`s back garden organized by separate families or by several families living in one part of a town.
9: There is usually a fireworks display as well as a bonfire on November 5.
