She was queen of the Iceni, a tribe of people who ___1__ &nbsp;in Eastern England in Britain almost two thousand years ago. Boudicca was tall with very long red hair and wore a gold necklace and a beautiful brooch. She was very intelligent and she had probably been to warrior school so she knew how to fight. By Ad 43, the Romans had conquered southern England.
At first, they allowed Boudicca and her husband to continue to rule. But when Boudicca&rsquo;s husband __2___ the Romans took all his land and property, they __3___ to rule de Iceni and they treated them very badly, so in ad 60 or 61 Boudicca and the Iceni ___4__ against the Romans together with other tribes who were also treated badly by the Romans. Boudicca and her large army __5___ one Roman army and destroyed the capital of Roman Britain, Colchester. In Colchester, she ___6__ the temple built for Emperor Claudius. They also destroyed two more cities; many people died. &nbsp;
&ldquo;Now, I am fighting for my freedom, we must win the battles or die. Let the men live as slaves if they want, I will not&rdquo;&nbsp;
Finally, Boudicca and her army were defeated. The surviving Iceni people ran away or were turned into slaves. Boudicca probably ___7__ herself with poison, her body has never been found. The rebellion was so shocking to Emperor Nero, the ruler of the Roman Empire, that he __8___ &nbsp;to withdraw from Britain.
In the end, the Romans occupied Britain for over 350 years more, but they also __9___ the British people more fairly, and __10___ lower taxes.

Observaciones y contexto

- Entre otras mujeres célebres que lucharon contra los romanos, podemos mencionar a Cleopatra (-69/-30) o Zenobia de Palmira (-245- c.290)
- La figura de Boudica sería olvidada hasta que durante el reinado de Elisabeth I empezó a ganar importancia en la historia de Britania como símbolo nacional.
- Más tarde la reina Victoria también la rescataría para reafirmar su papel como reina del imperio, puesto que el nombre de ambas significaba lo mismo. El Poeta Laureado de la reina, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, escribió un poema titulado Boadicea, y varios barcos llevaron este nombre. Entre 1850 y 1860, con el apoyo del príncipe Albert, Thomas Thornycroft realizó una estatua de Boudica con sus dos hijas en un carro de caballos.
- Más tarde sería el símbolo adoptado por las sufragistas en las marchas de la National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies.
- Para ampliar podemos pedir al alumnado que busque otras reinas o princesas guerreras en diferentes culturas.

Descripción

- En esta actividad trabajamos la comprensión oral con un video del British Council que podemos encontrar en YouTube.
- En esta actividad de Listening el alumnado debe introducir los verbos regulares en pasado que faltan. Después, explicamos la diferencia de pronunciación entre unos y otros y se clasificarán en los tres diferentes grupos. Finalmente, haremos cinco preguntas de comprensión del texto sencillas.

Acciones y situaciones habituales del pasado. Patrones sonoros. Pasado de los verbos regulares y su pronunciación.
- Esta actividad nos puede durar una sesión.
- El objetivo es practicar el pasado simple de los verbos regulares, así como su pronunciación.
