LI: to understand the origins of Guy Fawkes and the importants of safety regarding the use of fireworks.
On November the 4th to November the 6th, people around the world celebrate a holiday called Guy Fawkes where fireworks are lit. But where exactly did Guy Fawkes originate from?
Guy Fawkes was a catholic man in the 1600s. However, cathlocism was banned and so Guy Fawkes and a group of plotters came up with a plan to make catholicism legal although it was a crime against the government, but it was unsuccessful and resulted in many losses. Fireworks were lit to remember that commiting crimes against the government were unwise choices made by unwise people. Therefore, Guy Fawkes is a holiday that goes against acts of treason.
For this task, we created a simple poster that educates the youth of today on the rules to follow in order to be safe during Guy Fawkes. I enjoyed this task because I learnt about the history of Guy Fawkes and where the holiday originates from as well as reminding myself what to do during Guy Fawkes to keep myself and others safe.
