Class March 18th and homework

Hello, my astonishingly intelligent third year students 😍😎
So on Monday we discussed the following terms:

• The U.K.
• Ireland
• Great Britain
• The British Isles

We did so by watching this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10&t=123s (Remember we watched it with 0,75 speed)

And for next class you need to read the pages of our booklet on Multicultural Britain (pages 18 and 19) as well as 8 and 9 (we didn't read all of it in class).

For next class you also need to have read Benjamin Zephaniah's article:
https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/nov/27/iraq.monarchy

And last but not least, read the following article about accents:

See you next class💚💚

The British by Benjamin Zephaniah

Hi, people. And welcome back to our blog.

Here's the poem we read today👇

The British

by Benjamin Zephaniah

Serves 60 million

Take some Picts, Celts and Silures

And let them settle,

Then overrun them with Roman conquerors.

Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years

Add lots of Norman French to some

Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously.

Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans,

Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese,

Vietnamese and Sudanese.

Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians

And Pakistanis,

Combine with some Guyanese

And turn up the heat.

Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians,

Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some

Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese

And Palestinians

Then add to the melting pot.

Leave the ingredients to simmer.

As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish

Binding them together with English.

Allow time to be cool.

Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future,

Serve with justice

And enjoy.

Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better

than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste.

Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause

pain. Give justice and equality to all.

Now that we have read the poem, for next class you will🤓:
