Guy Fawkes: past and present

In the present, Bonfire Night is celebrated on the 5th of November, especially in England. The reason why they made a celebration out of this historical event is not to forget what happened and tell their children about it. 

Remember, remember the fifth of November

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes

‘Twas his intent

To blow up the King and the Parliament

Three score barrels of powder below

Poor old England to overthrow

By God’s providence he was catched

With a dark lantern and burning match

Holler boys, holler boys,

Ring the bells ring

Holler boys, holler boys,

God save the King!

In schools, Bonfire Night is also commemorated so, why not doing the same in the English classroom?
