Hey guys,

today we first warmed up with two questions that you had to answer freely about fairy tales.

1- How did you get to know your first fairy tales?

2- Why do fairy tales attract children?

Here is what you said:

"to be written by ..."

Then, we continued the class with studying the text again. You had to focus on speech tags, verbs of movement and body language. Here is a selection of set expressions from the text:

"to be written by ..."

Finally, we commented on the story to determine if it was a parody indeed or not. Here is what we said about the twist in the story in the 2nd part: 

"to be written by ..."

HW:

- être capable de parler du texte et de l'histoire. Savoir expliquer pourquoi il s'agit d'une parodie.

- faire le surlignage concernant le discours, verbes de movement, actions liées au corps, ... dans la 2ème moitié du texte.

Hi guys,

today we worked on how to develop your essays and dialogues thanks to the assignment from the Pondichéry mock exam. Let's hope you will have understood the methodology a bit better.

HW:

- pour Lundi (rappel! = RATTRAPAGE d'un cours ce LUNDI 04 JUIN de 9h à 10h): rendre l'un des deux sujets proposés en respectant la méthode. Vous pouvez bien sûr rendre les deux sujets (mais pas plus de 200 mots au total).

Hi guys,

today we first talked about the problems you may have had with dubbing Vincent... then we continued the class with a summary of what had been done this year and I gave you some guidelines in order to understand how to create your dossiers for next year.

You can download the worksheet here again:

HW:

- Pour Jeudi 07/06/12: préparer UN dossier sur le grand thème de votre choix (a/b/c/d), en sélectionnant 2 documents étudiés en cours, en y ajoutant un supplémentaire que vous aurez vous-mêmes cherché, construire une problématique, et rédiger qq notes pour chaque document expliquant brièvement en quoi chacun se rattache à votre problématique et au thème de départ.

Hey guys,

so today we started the last sequence of the year entitled: "Fairy Tales".

Let's hope you'll like it.

We first started to talk about the basic ingredients in such stories. Here are the elements we commented on:

- the structure

- the characters

- the places

- the time

- the feelings and motives that animate the characters

- Some titles in English

Finally, you had to scan (and then read) a text to determine whether it was a traditional fairy tale, a modern version, or a parody.

HW:

- écrire un paragraphe de 5 à 10 lignes pour résumer l'ensemble de la situtation du texte en incluant votre repérage des WH-.

- être capable de parler de l'histoire et de dire de quelle forme de conte de fées il s'agit en justifiant votre choix.

Hi guys,

today we first watched the rest of Hitchcock's adaptation of the short story and concluded that it was a rather faithful adaptation where we could see Mary Maloney's folly at the end of the movie above all.

We also concluded our analysis of the story talking about what "pathetic fallacy" was and how it could be applied to our text. Here is what we said:

"to be written by..."

Then, we read the collection of "essay assignments" from the past few years at the baccalauréat and we selected 4 of them explaining why they could relate to our text. You may write one of them for tomorrow if you want to train and me to help correct yourselves. It's optional but I strongly recommend those who didn't have the average 10 at the latest test to write it.

Finally, I gave you your dialogues back. Some of them were better than others. None were absolutely wonderful but you did try to do your best. However I'm really disappointed in some of you who didn't respect the dialogue format that we have been studying for the past month or so... Argh!!!

HW:

- corrigez votre dialogue (grammaire, structures, ...) -> demain, vous serez mis en groupe pour une adaptation de ce dialogue à l'oral. Votre prestation pourra vous rapporter jusqu'à 2 points de bonus sur votre note de départ.

- rapportez la correction du devoir (Segregation) pour la travailler ensemble. Vous devez normalement tous avoir terminé sa lecture et retravailler la traduction en la commentant comme indiqué dans la consigne sur le polycopié. Merci d'arriver préparer pour que ce cours puisse vous profiter au mieux.

- Pensez également à rapporter la fiche avec les sujets d'essay car au verso se trouve un exercice de traduction qui nous servira pour demain également.

- Demain, je vous remettrai votre liste de documents pour l'éventuel rattrapage du bac. Je ne donnerai ce document qu'aux personnes présentes. Les autres devront se débrouiller pour se le procurer... A bon entendeur...

Hello guys,

today we first worked on remembering the important structure: "Have you ever...?" and its possible answers. I hope you liked discovering interesting stuff about me and about your classmates...

Then we continued the lesson with the correction of your tests.

Tomorrow we will start the last sequence of the year entitled: "Fairy Tales!"

See you then!

Mr Hattais.

Hello guys,

today we corrected your vocabulary exercise about "clothes" and we continued the lesson with the study of a new text and a video.

You can download the text here again:

And watch the video here:

We didn't have time to write anything formal in our copy books but we did discuss about fair trade and organic cotton. We'll talk more about it next time and we'll definitely have to take notes!

See you then!

Mr Hattais.

HW:

- finir le repérage du champs lexical "clothes" dans le nouveau texte (classer le vocabulaire dans le tableau)

- être capable de parler de ce qu'est "Ethical fashion" & "Fair Trade" en général.
