Have a look at this video:
1- List all the inventions you can hear in the song: there are 39! (admittedly not all from the UK)
2- Talk together and decide on
the one that is the most useful,
the one that is the least useful
the one that is the most surprising

Here are some still frames taken from Vertigo for you to practise your analytical skills. Remember that Hitchcock, like many other directors, meticulously planned all his shots.

Hello everyone
There is a chance I might not be here tomorrow morning, So here is a version of what we would have done in the morning. I will be here in the afternoon for the "vie de classe", however
Activity 1: Here is entire the series again
Last lesson we saw various modes of narration and messages ("someone has a problem another person has a solution..." etc)
Which "modes" are used for the Kellog's advert (4'40) and the Chiquita advert (5'34)?
Activity 2
Read "Language of Advertising" in the text we studied. It talks about persuasive words.
Watch the Dixons advert at 6'55
Which ones can you find in this advert?
Activity 3
Watch the first advert for Crown paint.
Which persuasive words would you use for this one? Which positive adjectives would be the best for this advert?
Write the text for a possible voice over the song ("What a difference a day makes"); which would take 40 seconds, with pauses. If you are unsure about how to pronounce a word click on this link, choose "Audrey UK English", type the word and click on "speak". The voice will tell you how to pronounce it.
Thank you
Please write "ok" when you get this message.
Thank you.

Voici un message que m'a donné Mme Pouvreau tout à l'heure, pour les hispanistes de la classe:
"je voulais justement te demander si tu avais l'adresse mails des élèves car j'ai une info importante pour le contrôle de la rentrée (LV2 le jeudi). Dans la mesure où je n'ai pas eu de cours cette semaine avec eux, il faudrait leur dire de réviser impérativement le passé simple (pretérito indefinido) et l'imparfait pour ce devoir. Merci d'avance de mettre cette info sur le blog si cela est possible."
Ok?

Chers et chères 1ere L, bonjour!
Cet article s'ajoute à celui que j'ai écrit plus bas, qui concerne lui la vie de classe et l'anglais.
J'ai demandé aux autres enseignants s'ils souhaitaient vous communiquer des informations par le biais de ce blog et il faudra donc bien veiller à le vérifier régulièrement. N'hésitez pas non plus à laisser un commentaire si vous souhaitez plus de précisions.
Madame Charrier me demande de vous communiquer les points suivants pour la rentrée (le 4 novembre donc):
• Lire Escurial de Michel Ghelderode (petite pièce d'une vingtaine de pages) aux ed. FOLIO Théatre. Il s'agit d'une réécriture de Ruy Blas qui doit avoir été lue pour le cours sur la dissertation.
• Se procurer Le Monde Comme Il Va de Voltaire (ed. Folio) pour la rentrée également.
A plus tard
Y Desdevises
