today we continued our sequence on Ireland. We did a quick recap of what had been said before and we confirmed our hypotheses with the viewing of the corresponding scene that you can watch again below:
Here is what we said: "The scene actually takes place in England in 1974. It is in an inn where people are gathering to chat and to have dinner when there is a bomb / explosion. There is a lot of casualties for sure."
"Maybe, the I.R.A. planted the bomb. They are a terrorist group. I.R.A. means Irish Republican Army. The I.R.A.'s intentions are political. They fight off British presence."
Then, we watched another scene. You had to spot where it took place and when:
"The scene takes place in the streets of Belfast, in Ulster / Northern Ireland, in the early 70's. Soldiers are looking for gunmen. A man is on a roof. He is stealing metal. He is a thief but he is not a gunman".
You can watch the scene again below:
HW: for next time, you have to make up a sentence with the following words from the document to imagine what the story is about:
