BONFIRE NIGHT 5TH OF NOVEMBER
IN NOVEMBER 1605 THE INFAMOUS GUNPOWDER PLOT TOOK PLACE IN WHICH SOME CATHOLIC PLOTTED TO BLOW UP THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT AND THE KING JAMES I, ON THE DAY SET FOR THE KING TO OPEN PARLIAMENT. THE MEN WERE ANGRY BECAUSE THE KING HAS TREATED THEM BADLY AND THEY DIDN’T LIKE IT.
THE STORY IS REMEMBERED EACH 5TH NOVEMBER, ‘GUYS’ ARE BURNT IN A CELEBRATION KNOWN AS ‘BONFIRE NIGHT’
HISTORY OF BONFIRE NIGHT/ GUY FAWKES NIGHT
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO, IN 1605, A MAN CALLED GUY FAWKES AND GROUP OF PLOTTERS ATTEMPTED TO BLOW UP THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN LONDON WITH BARREL OF GUNPOWDER PLACED IN THE BASEMENT. THEY WANTED TO KILL KING JAMES AND THE KING’S LEADERS.
WHY DID GUY FAWKES WANT TO KILL THE KING JAMES AND THE KING’S LEADERS?
WHEN QUEEN ELIZABETH 1ST , TOOK THE THRONE OF ENGLAND SHE MADE SOME LAWS AGAINST THE ROMAN CATHOLIC. GUY FAWKES WAS ONE OF THE SMALL GROUP OF CATHOLICS WHO FELT THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS TREATING THE ROMAN CATHOLICS UNFAIRLY.
THEY HOPED THE KING JAMES 1ST WOULD CHANGE THE LAWS BUT HE DIDN’T.
CATHOLICS HAD TO PRACTICE THEIR RELIGION IN SECRET. THERE WERE EVEN FINES FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T ATTEND TO PROTESTANT CHURCH ON SUNDAYS OR HOLY DAYS.
JAMES 1ST PASSED MORE LAWS AGAINST THE CATHOLICS WHEN HE BECAME A KING.
WHAT HAPPENED?
A GROUP OF MEN LED BY ROBERT CATESBY PLOTTED TO KILL KING JAMES AND BLEW UP THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT, THE PLACE WHERE THE LAWS THAT GOVERNED ENGLAND WERE MADE.
GUY FAWKES DISCOVERED
GUY FAWKES WAS GIVEN THE JOB TO KEEP OVER THE BARRELS OF GUNPOWDER AND TO LIGHT THE FUSE. ON THE MORNING 5TH NOVEMBER, SOLDIER DISCOVERED GUY HIDDEN IN THE CELLAR AND ARRESTED HIM. THE TRIAL OF GUNPOWDER AT HIS FEET WOULD NEVER BE LIT.
GUY WAS TAKEN TO THE TOWER OF LONDON.
HE WAS QUESTIONED AND TORTURED ABOUT THE OTHER PLOTTERS
BONFIRE IS CONMEMORATED ANNUALLY IN ENGLAND ON NOVEMBER 5TH BY FIREWORKKS AND BURNING ‘GUYS’(EFFIGIES) ON BONFIRES.

In spite of this Colegio Inglés has normal classes tomorrow, including the Oral Exam for Sophomore Class B.
Colegio de Profesores llama a paro para el 11 y 12 de noviembre (El Mercurio)
El magisterio pidió a todos los docentes del país que no asistan esos días a los establecimientos educacionales, para así apoyar las exigencias del sector púbico por un aumento salarial digno.
Domingo 9 de Noviembre de 2008 14:01 El Mercurio OnlineSANTIAGO.- Jaime Gajardo, presidente del Colegio de Profesores de Chile, junto a Jorge Abedrapo, presidente del Regional Metropolitano del Magisterio, informó este domingo que la Asamblea Nacional Extraordinaria definió paralizar los dias martes 11 y miércoles 12 de noviembre en exigencia de un reajuste salarial digno."Llamamos a Paro Nacional a todos los profesores de este país los días 11 y 12 de noviembre, llamamos que todos actúen bajo este instructivo y así potenciemos la mesa del sector público y tomen mayor fuerza estas negociaciones; este es un acuerdo nacional y el paro significa no ir a los establecimientos educativos durante el día", dijo Gajardo, agregando que "hemos participado activamente en la negociación, pero ahora nuestro involucramiento será mucho mayor".Otra definición tomada por los casi 200 dirigentes a nivel nacional que son parte de la Asamblea Nacional del Magisterio, es "que la crisis que hoy día amenaza al mundo no puede recaer en los trabajadores. Con esto decimos que el Gobierno si quiere demostrar que está porque no paguen el costo los trabajadores, debe atenerse al petitorio del sector público"."También hemos definido que como gremio, como Colegio de Profesores, no vamos a firmar nada si no se les paga a todos los trabajadores del país", añadió Gajardo, refiriéndose a la realidad de los profesores del sector particular subvencionado y corporados, que pese a que a sus sostenedores se les reajusta y aumenta la subvención, estos no están obligados a expresar ese reajuste en los sueldos de los maestros."Tiene que haber una cláusula en el proyecto de ley que se va a enviar al Parlamento, que diga que esto afectará a los profesores del sector particular subvencionado y corporados, para que se haga justicia con esos trabajadores", sintetizó Gajado.De esta manera el Colegio de Profesores definió llamar al Paro Nacional del Sector Público, convocando "a que los profesores nos concentremos el martes a las 11:30 horas en la Plaza de Armas y de ahí marchar a un punto que aún está por definir"."En tanto, el miércoles convocaremos a una sola gran concentración, que está por determinarse y a nivel del país en todos los centros cívicos de cada ciudad habrá concentraciones", explicó Gajardo.

MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS
For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We solemnly addressed our letters to “Father Christmas, the North Pole”, before sending them up to the chimney.
With December our excitement grew each day-as we opened the advent calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, the nativity play at our school, Christmas lights in the streets, the town carol service. And of course, snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, build igloos and to have glorious snowball fights in the school playground.
On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree and the decorations and blow up the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some brandy and mince pies for Father Christmas and then put out our stockings at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning!
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets, and at the bottom a chocolate sixpence and a tangerine. Christmas morning was bright and sunny and, after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! Roast turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding and brandy butter. When we pulled the crackers, the dog barked; we took out the plastic toys, laughed at the jokes, put on the silly paper hats and laughed again.
After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen and polar bears. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were exhausted. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, contented sleep.

MEMORIES OF CHRISTMAS
For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We solemnly addressed our letters to “Father Christmas, the North Pole”, before sending them up to the chimney.
With December our excitement grew each day-as we opened the advent calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, the nativity play at our school, Christmas lights in the streets, the town carol service. And of course, snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, build igloos and to have glorious snowball fights in the school playground.
On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree and the decorations and blow up the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some brandy and mince pies for Father Christmas and then put out our stockings at the end of our beds. We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning!
At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets, and at the bottom a chocolate sixpence and a tangerine. Christmas morning was bright and sunny and, after church, my cousin David and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! Roast turkey with all the vegetables followed by Christmas pudding and brandy butter. When we pulled the crackers, the dog barked; we took out the plastic toys, laughed at the jokes, put on the silly paper hats and laughed again.
After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen and polar bears. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were exhausted. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, contented sleep.

Freshman Classes: Gandhi´s text.
MAHATMA GANDHI
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (October 2nd 1869 – January 30th 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence which led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi which means "Great Soul". He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and world-wide as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Gandhi first employed non-violent civil disobedience as an expatriate lawyer in South Africa, in the resident Indian community's struggle for civil rights. After his return to India in 1915, he set about organizing peasants, farmers, and urban laborers in protesting excessive land-tax and discrimination. Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, for expanding women's rights, for building religious and ethnic amity, for ending untouchability, for increasing economic self-reliance, but above all for achieving the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in protesting the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km Dandi Salt March in 1930, and later in calling for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years, on numerous occasions, in both South Africa and India.
Gandhi practiced non-violence and truth in all situations, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as means of both self-purification and social protest.
On January 30, 1948, Gandhi was shot and killed while having his nightly public walk on the grounds of the Birla House in New Delhi. The assassin, Nathuram Godse, was a Hindu radical with links to the extremist Hindu Mahasabha, who held Gandhi responsible for weakening India by insisting upon a payment to Pakistan.
Gandhi's ashes were poured into urns which were sent across India for memorial services. Most were immersed at the Sangam at Allahabad on 12 February 1948 but some were secreted away.

¿TOMAR O NO TOMAR?
Here we go again. The "revolución pinguina" is back and we must be prepared for it. It is clear that the petitions and demands of thousands of students haven't been fullfilled, it is totally understandable, but let's not forget the pros and cons of these movements. If we lose classes, we have to make them up, and that means saturday mornings. Remember your classmates of Educación Básica, if they don't come to school, who's going to take care of them? Their parents have to work! There's a lot of things to think about, just one thing: take care. Take care of you, take care of your classmates, take care of Colegio Ingles, this school is also yours. The photos that I post here are to show you and example of the wrong way and the correct way. You pick your option, I hope you'll be wise enough.

TORNEO DE DEBATES 2008
Every year, the MINEDUC through their "Inglés abre puertas" program is organizing a tournament for debating teams from schools which belong to the public area.

All the students from High School are welcomed for a selection process, just talk to me, or send an e-mail identifying yourself. For more information, go to www.ingles.mineduc.cl/destacado-det.php?idd=9

REINFORCEMENT CLASSES
The English Department has received requests from parents and students in order to have a Reinforcement program for people with specific necessities in English. This program considers 5th to Senior Class' students, who can voluntarily be part of the classes, by paying a $10.000 fee monthly. The classes will start as soon as we have enough students to afford the program. Only the very interested ones are invited to participate, if you don't feel motivated enough, leave that spot to another who will take real advantage of it. The classes will be from 4 P.m. on days to decide. If you want to be part of this, contact your English teacher as soon as possible and give him/her your name.
