Hi guys,

today it was back to school after a two-week break! Yeah!

Mr Hill finished the presentation of his background and he told you about one time when he got lost snow-shoeing in the mountains in Washington State... Did you like his story? Do you think that he is a hero like Aaron? ;)

Here is what you finally said:

If I were lost in a snowy forest, I would ...

• do like Mr Hill.
• phone my mother
• call 911
• make a fire and melt snow
• wait for the rescue next to the fire so that I wouldn't die of exposure.

NB: 32°F = 0°C

Hi guys,

today I let you finish your test very quickly and then we continued the lesson with a new topic:

"I'm an EMT"

Here is the document we started to comment on:

Here is what you said:

The document is a poster. It's a campaign for WWF. It's an ironic allegory of the planet and people.

The scene takes place in a lost countryside. It's almost at night as the sun is setting. There is only one house in the background. It looks haunted and dilapidated.

There is a car in the field. There has been an accident. The car skidded out of the road. There is a person and they need help.

----------------------------------------

The goal of the campaign is to make people react. It is a warning to protect the planet against climate change. The temperatures are rising; the planet is heating up and we are doing nothing like the EMTs in the picture.

Instead of rescuing the driver, they are eating / urinating / calling someone...! Like us, instead of acting against climate change, we are waiting for the catastrophe.
