Introduction
Do you know why we celebrate “El día de la Constitución” and why it is important?
All societies have different celebrations and ... so the Americans! They celebrate their most important festivity of the year the last Thursday of November. It’s even more important than Christmas or the summer holidays.
Many of the tales or legends begin with “Once upon a time …”. In our story, we start by saying: “Once upon a time, a great many of the people in England were very unhappy because their king would not let them pray to God as they liked. So they decided to go away from their country …”

This is just the beginning. What comes next? Who were they? What´s the Mayflower? Does Pocahontas have anything to do with this story? Lots of questions could be asked, so we are going to get to know a little bit more about the most important holiday in the United States.




Questions to be solved1. Who were the pilgrims and where did they come from?
2. When did they arrive at Plymouth? Where is it?
3. What problem did they have when they arrived there?
4. How did they solve it?
5. Who helped them to solve it and how?
