Congratulations guys!
Today was quite awesome! Let's hope you liked it too. You can click the picture below to access all of the photos of your wonderful dishes.
Here is the worksheet that we used today to talk both about cooking and about Vincent (Tim Burton).
HW:
- se référer à la Worksheet ci-dessus pour contrôler les dates de devoirs.
- prévoir les "oral captions" pour les dessins préliminaires de Tim Burton pour Vincent.
j'ai également mené un projet Masterchef avec mes élèves de 1L LVA, légèrement différent car la tâche finale était de cuisiner en classe (un plat froid exclusivement...) et de faire le show en direct, en expliquant les étapes, l'historique etc...Résultat: beaucoup de stress chez les élèves mais une bonne réussite sur le plan linguistique!Et après dégustation et débat, nous sommes définitivement convaincues que les filles sont meilleures en cuisine!!...
Je serais intéressée par le résultat final de vos élèves,en termes de production orale,car çà me plairait de voir ce que l'on peut en attendre.Je peux également vous envoyer nos enregistrements si cela vous intéresse.
Merci beaucoup en tous cas pour l'idée!! CT
Hello Carole,
thanks for your interest in my classes and I'm glad your Master Chef experience has also been a success. As for the recordings of your students, I'll be glad to hear what they are like. We didn't record the students' presentations. We had so many things going on at the same time on that day with so many groups doing so many different things that I haven't found the time to record anything but to make a picture of each final dish. It was a real SUCCESS and the students were really able to communicate and explain what they had done and how they had done it, comment on their "candidate", explain the history of their dishes... etc... I'll be posting the whole "sequence" very soon on the blog in the teachers' corner.
However, I do have some videos of the dishes in the making but I haven't asked my students yet whether I could publish them. I'll keep you posted asap (before the end of the school year, i.e. within 2 weeks). If you don't see anything on the blog or if I don't answer you personnally again, do send me another email as a reminder.
Until then,
Take care,
Philippe Hattais.

No problem!
I had planned to bring them to the exhibition in Paris indeed too... but I went there and I couldn't figure out a way for it to be really interesting as far as the language is concerned...
There are supposed to have finished their projects by tomorrow... so I'll see whether this experience is actually worth sharing, depending on the results of the dubbing. It's actually pretty easy to do; a bit time consuming though but everyone can do (they are accustomed to using AUDACITY and they all have Windows Movie Maker on the computer (it's pre installed on ALL computers with Windows).
If it does work, like for the Master Chef sequence I'll post a sequence handout for teachers on the blog in the teachers' corner.
Take care,
Philippe.
PS: I'll be glad to see you videos indeed... argh... I still need to acutally GRADE my students'... argh...
I'll go and see how movie maker works, I have it on my computer.
Take care,
Carole
Well I did eat a little bit of everything they made (I had 3 other colleagues with me grading their presentations + a group of two students also assessing them and another pair tasting and also asking questions... so in the end I didn't get to eat so much food... poor me... lol... 11 dishes total).
Philippe.
PS: I also purchased the big book... in English... and I had to import it since they didn't have any copies left... well well... I bought the small book of the exhibition too... as well as the whole series of DVDs to watch the ones I hadn't watched... yeah... I got completely crazy with that project... it seems that my students are all panicky with Windows Movie Maker... they keep sending me messages tonight telling me they have troubles... argh... and their presentation is due for tomorrow.... ........ :s
Take care,
Carole
the better option is to use the .mp4 file which is accepted in WMM. The other solution is to convert it if it still doesn't work into a format that will be accepted for sure, i.e. .wmv (you can use the software called SUPER to do this... it's a bit hard to understand how it works at first but it really is a powerful and useful free tool).
I haven't had all of the videos from my students but I have watched some already and I have to say some are pretty nice... that's coooool! I'll keep you posted on the blog as soon as I have more time to write the "séquence" completely...
