Hey guys,
today we first worked on the following video about the craze "Black Friday" can be in the US. You can watch the document again below:
Here is what we have begun to say about it:
I : The document is a news
report from the BBC. It takes place in the US and more precisely in Los Angeles, California during the Christmas season in
November (just after Thanksgiving). It deals with / it is about the problems because of Black Friday in the
USA.
D : The document deals with 2 facts that happened in crowded stores.
1st :in Los Angeles (California)
A woman used pepper spray to go faster to an Xbox console which was at a good price. 20 people got injured / hurt.
2nd : There was another act of violence in Texas or North Carolina. A shot was fired but nobody got killed.
Vocabulary :
- to cut prices
- low prices
- a good bargain / deal
- the sales
- a promotion
- a shop (UK) / a store (US)
A - H - O + Branch Out will be finished when the sequence is over and you know more things about Shopping (Buy Nothing
Day), Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and over-consumption in general.
Then we continued the class during the 2nd hour with Holly. You first had to talk about the "famine video" we had worked on last Friday. You did a pretty good job
and your trying to explain the differences between poor and rich countries was often interesting.
Finally, we had you study a fragment of a picture (one for each group) and you had to:
- imagine what was around the picture -> who, where, when, what ...
- give it a title
The body / boy in the field:
-> w/ his family - they are too exhausted to walk
Lost African men: (in the middle)
3 people
on a boat
The wild man:
Many other slaves / in the 19th century
no clothes
Title unknown for the moment:
no natural ressources
slaves — look scared
__ exhausted
- have a break next to a tree
As we haven't finished discussing about it, we'll continue next time (on Tuesday).
HW:
- apprendre votre leçon sur le document "Black Friday" et connaître le nouveau vocabulaire.
