Homework:

- réviser la fiche "What happened in July?" (être capable de parler des événements et le nouveau vocabulaire).

Hi guys,

today we first corrected the worksheet about the events we studied during the summer (the world cup, the tour de France, the 3 plane crashes, the Common Wealth games, Nadine Gordimer's death).

Then we made a recap about what you knew ---- 4 important events:

- Lauren Bacall's death
- The European championship
- The ice-bucket challenge
- The epidemic (pandemic) or Ebola.

Finally, you had to choose one subject and begin writing a short article about it.

Homework:

- terminer la rédaction de son article de 5 à 10 lignes maximum sur l'un des 4 sujets choisis (au crayon à papier dans son cahier).

Hi guys,

today we corrected the worksheet about the events from July.

Then you had associate the recordings with the correct pictures and explain why.

Finally, you worked individually to create a short paragraph about an event you could choose (the ice-bucket challenge, Lauren Bacall's death, the European championships, the Ebola pandemic).

Here are some vocabulary words or some notes we took from the board:

Ice bucket challenge = celebrities / ice bucket / face / charity / fight against a disease
Lauren Bacall = "femme fatale" / actress
Ebola = epidemic / pandemic
