Then some of you were orally interrogated about super heroes. You need to prepare yourself more otherwise you will never make progress!
Amine, be sure that next module, you'll have an oral test because your performance today was really bad. Not to mention your own behaviour, Chahid,
Rochella, and Camille's...
Finally, we started a new activity about the use of the two present tenses: Present Simple and Present Be+ing.
HW: for next module, you need to complete the 1st page of the worksheet.

See you then.

Hey,
today in "module" I asked you to speak about the picture p. 152 that you had to comment. You need to improve your analysis. I'll be asking other students next time again.
Here is an example of presentation. It's not perfect but it's a rather good one:
The document is a picture where there are two parts. In the first part, we can see a white family at the bottom who is
sitting in a garden. They look surprised and they are looking at the second family who feels happy and impressed. Contrary to the white family, they
are standing and clad with their traditional dress. It's a black family.
To me, the scene takes place in the USA and the goal of this picture is to denounce
discrimination which treats people differently in society.
The photographer aims at criticizing segregation. In this photo, the separation is
represented by the fence which is separating Africans from Americans. Segregation in the 20th century in America was when the Blacks and
the Whites couldn't blend.
To my mind, this picture is a good representation of discrimination. Martin Luther King and Rosa Park are the symbols of this conflict. When I see some people wanted to change society and make people aware of these inequalities through paintings, photos, speeches or parades, I'm grateful to them.
The picture attains its objective. I like this photo because it denounces very well the implicit problems of American society in the 20th
century.
(by Rochella D.)
Group 2: then we started a new activity about grammar on how to differentiate between Present Simple and Present Be + ing.
You may download the documents here:
"yet to be uploaded..."
Group 1: Then we started a new activity that was initially designed by Miss Fernandes, a colleague in the academy of Caen. We first described the pictures of the superheroes.
HW: You need to finish the description of each picture and prepare the questions to ask to your partner about the missing elements in your worksheet.

After warming up about the poster you had to make about your super hero, you took a vocabulary test about body parts in including phonetics.
Then, we reviewed how to present a document and we began filling in a grid about the 2 page from Spiderman using the method seen in class about picture description.
Here is what we said about the 1st two panels:
1) The panel is an extract from the comic
book entitled Spiderman. It depicts Peter Parker and his uncle who is waking him up in his bedroom. His uncle is rubbing Peter's
hair; He looks caring and loving while Peter looks extremely tired.
2) In the 2nd panel, Peter is having breakfast
with his uncle and his aunt. He is eating wheatcakes, his favorite meal. They are all enjoying themselves. They look extremely happy
Remember:
- Use Present Be + ing when describing actions. DO NOT USE it when the verb is a state verb.
- les adjectifs en -ing sont "actifs". ex: loving = qui aime = aimant // loved = qui est aimé = aimé, apprécié.

Hey,
today we first spoke about family relationship as a warm up. Here is what we said:
"to be written by Rayane"
Then, after reviewing what we had said about the first panel from the comic book Spiderman, you had to work in groups of 2, 3, or 4.
Everyone had a special role: spokesman, secretary, grammar keeper, or pronunciation keeper.
You can download page 2 here:
For next time, the spokesman will have to present their work to the class.
