Hey guys,

 

today we first made a recap of the situation in the text and then, we worked on identifying the alibis of the suspect and we saw that none of them could really stand.

Here is what we said:

Inez Olson may have killed the governor because she didn't like him. She says he wasn't kind.

Samuel Mason may have murdered him. His alibi is strange. He says he wasn't watching TV or listening to the radio but Hamilton could hear music upstairs.

 

7:30 - 8:00 = time of the murder

4:00 = telephone call

 

Finally, you took a lesson and vocabulary test.

Hey,

 

today we first spoke about Arno and Enzo's best places to visit: 

 

Enzo thinks Narbonne beaches are the best place to visit. There are the most beautiful landscapes he has ever seen.

Arno thinks Rome is the most lively city has ever visited. There are the most interesting monuments in the world.

 

Then we watched the video which promotes the competition for the best job in the world with Ben, the former winner. This year, there are 6 contracts to win.

We talked about the missions of these contracts and you will have to apply at the end of the lesson.

Hi guys,

 

today you had to work on creating a jazz chant for the evening routine.

You worked on vocabulary, rhythm and pronunciation.

At the end of the class, we also modified the second jazz chant to sing in trios so that the person in the middle could be a boy.

We saw we had to change 3 things:

- she -> he

- her -> his

- the verbs with he / she get an "s" for the 3rd person singular.

Hi guys,

 

today we first studied the last video of the sequence: "the best jobs in the world". You had to identify the jobs mentionned and their missions.

For you (and for a lot of people), the best job in the world is to be on holidays everyday.

 

 

Then you took a lesson test about Australia and Sydney.

You can have a look at the document in your books.

Hi guys,

 

today you first copied the lesson from last time after making a quick recap. Then you worked in groups to try and find the alibis of the suspects and say if they were solid or if they didn't stand.

 

Here are some of your ideas:

Inez says she was watching TV in her room when the governor died. She heard a noise; so she is a possible witness. Her alibi is not solid because there isn't anyone to confirm it.

 

Samuel says he was at home when the governor died. He was watching television too. He says he is a political ally but recently he has had problems with the governor. They have been in a competition for a job.

 

James says he was reading his mail and that he was on the telephone with Robert. That's why he had his name in his calendar. He also says he has been sick and has stayed in bed for days. Maybe there are clues in his bin.

Hi guys,

 

today we first talked very briefly about the Big Challenge and then we continued the lesson with a new part: How to talk about "Collections".

 

We learnt new vocabulary and you talked about James's collections and your personal collections.

You told me if your collection was big: "I have got a lot of ..."

and if your collection was small: "I have got only a few ..."

Hey,

 

today we first made a quick recap of why Sydney and Australia in general were unique places. Then we continued the class with a new conversation. Here is what we said about it:

 

Jack is calling his mother from Australia. She is in bed because it is 3:25 a.m (in the morning). She is tired and her voice is bizarre / strange / unusual.

He is enthusiastic about the country.

Sydney is the coolest city he has ever visited.

Uluru is the most beautiful site he has ever seen.

 

Grammar: élire un podium d'après son expérience

-> the most delicious hamburger I have ever eaten.

-> the nicest students I have ever met.

 

Vocabulary and phonolgy:

- gigantic

- terrific

- fantastic

- enthusiastic

Hi guys,

 

today we continued talking about Michael Jackson's Earth Song. Here is what we said:

 

                Past / Present / Future:

There are bright colours for the past, dark colours for the present; and the future is the past.

All the usual codes are destroyed.

The singer repeats "What about...?". He asks himself questions about the future. He has a bad feeling. He is worried.

 

Emotions: When the singer screams "ah", he is angry and scared of the future.

               

               The Bible (references):

- Jesus Christ on the cross, the Saviour of the planet. 

- Noah's Ark (the saviour of the animals).

- God: he controls the weather (the elements) and the time.

 

Vocab:

to weep = to cry

the Grim Reaper

Hi guys,

 

today we continued working on Australia. Here is what we said.

 

Australia is a unique place because...:

... It's the 6th largest country in the world after Brazil.

... It's one of the sunniest places on Earth.

....

 

Sydney is exceptional because... :

... It's the largest and the oldest city in Australia.

... they have the whitest and the purest beaches in Australia.

... you can meet the nicest people in the world.

... there are the most comfortable spas. It's luxurious.

Hi guys,

 

today we first made a quick recap of what you had said about the characters in the story. We added information about Mc Coy who is the "assistant DA" = Distric Attorney. He is like the boss of Liddy Hamilton.


She says "sorry" on the phone because she is calling him late at night. It's 3 am (in the morning) and she must be waking him up. But she thinks she has found the culprit. She has had a revelation, a flash.

 

Then you had to give ideas to commit the perfect crime, like in a TV series. Here are the ideas that came up:


For the perfect murder, you need the perfect plan:

- an alibi

- an ally or an accomplice (to accuse later)

- a good timing

- you mustn't leave clues (DNA, finger prints, noise, you should wear gloves, ...)

- nobody must see the scene = you must eliminate the witnesses

- a good murder weapon (poison, a gun with a silencer, ...)

 

Finally, I tested your awareness. You had to find the culprit in the following video... You were so concentrated on their alibis that you didn't see the scene had changed...! ahah! :)

 

Here is what you said: The Alibis of the suspect

When the master died, ...

      ... the man was buttering scones in the kitchen. He could have poisoned him.

      ... the young woman was polishing the brass in the bedroom. She was cleaning a brass pot. She could have cracked his head.

      ... the old lady was planting petunias. She could have hit him on the head too.

 

-> The culprit is the old lady because her alibi doesn't stand. She is lying. You don't plant petunias before May.

 

Vocab:

- a suspect

- a culprit

- a victim

- a witness

- a murder weapon

- an alibi

- clues

Hi guys,

 

today we first finished the lesson about "Fox in Socks". We wrote a paragraph about the author and the story. You must remember the vocabulary (+phonetics) and the ideas we studied.

 

Then we study the first page of "Act 5" in your books about Buckingham Palace. Here is what you said:


Buckingham Palace is located in London. The Queen of England lives there. It is a clean, big and old monument or building.

In the picture, we can see the ceremony of the changing of the guards.

The guards' uniforms are black and red.

They are playing music (trumpets and drums).

There are a lot of tourists behind the guards.
