Don't be foolish..... Prank a fool!!!

As we have seen at the class, today is April Fools' day, a special day celebrated every year on 1 April by playing practical jokes and spreading hoaxes. The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes expose their prank by shouting April Fool. 

Some newspapers, magazines, and other published media report fake stories, which are usually explained the next day or below the news section in small letters. Although popular since the 19th century, the day is not a public holiday in any country.

28 December, the equivalent day in Spain and Hispanic America, is also the Christian day of celebration of the "Day of the Holy Innocents". The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right, a religious one, but the tradition of pranks is not, though the latter is observed yearly. After somebody plays a joke or a prank on somebody else, the joker usually cries out, in some regions of Ibero-America: Inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar ("You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled").

There are many examples of false-news in media, for instance, social networks as Twitter and Facebook, TV, radios and also important Newspapers.

Now, I propose you a sort list of pranks to use celebrating the April Fools' day:

Limericks for St. Patrick's day...

One fun, easy and literary way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day is sing limericks together. A limerick is a witty or nonsensical poem that is short and simple, so kids, tweens and adults alike can all write and sing them.  Limericks are meant to be humorous and while they are often bawdy, you can leave that aspect out if the kids are around.

FamousLiteraryWorks.com explains that the word "limerick" as derives from the Irish town of Limerick. Apparently a pub song or tavern chorus based on the refrain 'Will you come up to Limerick?' where, of course, such bawdy songs or 'Limericks' were sung.

Here are some facts about Limerick:

• Limerick is both a city and a county in Ireland;
• Limerick is the fifth largest city in Ireland with a population of approximately 60,000;
• The River Shannon runs through the center of Limerick;

• Limerick is the setting for Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt's best-selling memoir;
• King John's Castle is located on King's Island in Limerick. Built in 1210, this is a perfect example of fortified Norman architecture in Ireland;

• You can read about the city's St. Patrick's Day Plans in the Limerick Leader.
