What is Poppy Day?

Poppy - Wikipedia

Poppy Day or Remembrance Day (in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom) is a day to remember people who fought and died in wars. It is on November 11th to remember the end of World War I on that day with Armistice with Germany in 1918.

Remembrance Day was started in 1919 by King George V from the United Kingdom. On the same day, other countries also have days to remember war and soldiers. There is Veteran's Day in the United States, and Armistice Day in France, Belgium, New Zealand and other countries.

Traditions

Poppies are often worn on Remembrance Day, and a few days before

There are some things that people do on Remembrance Day. One is having two minutes of silence at 11:00 AM. It is at 11:00 AM because that is when World War I ended. At a ceremony for Remembrance Day, before the two minutes of silence, a song called "The Last Post" is played on a bugle (or sometimes a trumpet). At the end of the silence, the bugle plays a song called "Reveille."

People often bring wreaths made of poppies to Remembrance Day ceremonies. The wreaths honor people who have died in wars.

In many countries, many people wear a fake poppy on Remembrance Day, and for a few days before. The poppy is a symbol to show that they remember the wars, and the soldiers who fought in them. Poppies were chosen to be a symbol because they often grew in battlefields, after the soldiers stopped fighting there.

25 years of the Berlin Wall

four zones after WW2 - picture from Wikipedia

The Berlin Wall,  Berliner Mauer in German, separated the city of Berlin in Germany from 1961 to 1989. It separated the eastern half from the western half. For manay it was a symbol of the Cold War. The Berlin Wall was about 168 km (104 miles) long.It was built to prevent people from escaping from the eastern half of Berlin.

After the WW2 ended Germany was divided into four zones, one for each of the main Allied countries: France, United Kingdom, the USA and the Soviet Union. Berlin, its capital, was also divided into 4 zones even though it was inside the Soviet zone. 

In 1949 the British, French and American zones became the Federal Republic of Germany or West Germany and the Soviet part became the German Democratic Republic. As Germans living in the Soviet part of the city tried to escape a wall was built, the Berlin Wall.

Berlin Wall - picture from Wikipedia

The German Democratic Republic was isolated from the rest of the country and it had a communist regime. In the 1980s eastern, communist countries faced collapse and the opposition of people. In October 1989 mass demonstrations against the government in East Germany began.

Eventually, the Berlin Wall was taken down on November 9, 1989.

Scotland and the United Kingdom for CLIL students

HISTORY

map from the BBCwebsite

1. 1603 - Elizabeth I, England's virgin queen, died childless and her heir was James VI of Scotland. He moved his court to London.
2. 1605 - Some Catholic men tried to murder the King and blow up the Parliament because they feared their religion was threatened by this Protestant king. Guy Fawkes and the rest of the conspirers were executed. Nowadays Guy Fawkes night is celebrated with bonfires all over Britain.
3. 1650 - The limits to Scotland's freedom, and its ability to lord it over its southern neighbour, were radically re-defined during the period of religious ferment thrown up by the English Civil War. Oliver Cronwell became a very powerful man. Eventually, Charles I was executed and many Scots backed his son Charles II but they were defeated by Cromwell's forces at the Battle of Dunbar in 1650. The age of the Stuart kings was dead and buried. The puritan Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland had arrived.
4. 1707 - Scotland's century of semi-detachment, sharing a monarch but chaving its own parliament, came to an end in a period of poor harvests. A union of the Scottish and English Parliaments was reached and power moved to Westminster, in London.
5. 1745 - Many Scots missed their independence and these Jacobites tried to restore the Stuart Monarchy but they were beaten.
6. 1797 - Curing the Enlightenment period there were many prominent Scottish intellectuals such as Adam Smith, David Hume and James Hutton.
7. 1820 - There was social struggle over economic hardship, led by Andrew Hardie and John Baird but they were executed and the rising was over.
8. 1885 - The post of Secretary of Scotland was re-established and the Scottish Office was created to administer central government functions in Scotland. Scotland had its own identity, recognised by the state, but firmly part of the United Kingdom.
9. 1922 - Culture was meant to create a Scottish identity and there was a revival of Scottish literature. Hugh MacDiarmid became, in 1928, a founding member of the National Party of Scotland, the forerunner of the present Scottish National Party.
10. 1979 - The idea of getting higher levels of independence from the Union led many to think of a referendum on devolution.
11. 1997 - Tony Blair's Labour Party let the Scottish electorate decide on having their own parliament. Two years later, the parliament was a reality. Scotland had its own distinctive voice within the United Kingdom.
12. 2011 - In 2011 under the proportional system used to elect members of the Scottish Parliament, the SNP won an overall majority.
13. 2014 - The Referendum to vote for or agains independence will take place on the 18th of September.
