Hello!

Today, we started a new lesson and you discovered the first document.

Document 1: DVD cover

The document is a DVD cover from Oliver Twist. Roman Polanski, the movie director, adapted Charles Dickens’ book.

Charles Dickens was a famous British novelist who wrote* this book in 1837.

On the DVD cover, there are two sides: on the right side, there is a picture and on the left there is a summary/a pitch.

The pitch: ?

Homework for Tuesday 15^th:

Etre capable de présenter the DVD cover.

Faire un résumé du pitch au présent (cahier-crayon)

You did a good job on your final task!

Hello!

Today, you watched a video: Is the culprit Aaron Konsminski?

Lesson 10: Today’s forensics techniques in Jack the Ripper’s case.

The streets were very dirty, so it was impossible to find fingerprints.

They didn’t find bullets because Jack the Ripper stabbed his victims.

Today, there are crime labs (invented in Lyon) and DNA analysis.

The man in the video thinks the culprit is Aaron Konsminski because he found* DNA evidence on a shawl. The shawl was found next to Catherine Eddowes.

Is the crime solved?

Maybe the crime is not really solved because many people could have touched this shawl.

THE END

Homework for Thursday 10^th: rendre au propre son travail sur Jack the Ripper pour compléter the evidence board.

Homework for Monday 14^th: apprendre la dernière leçon du chapitre.

Hello!

Today, you told me who was the culprit in your opinion and we did a game about the 2 preterites. Good job !

Preterit / irregular verbs*:

Vocabulary:

·         Lie/lied : mentir

·         Hire/hired : engager quelqu’un.e

·         Step > stepped

·         Spot > spotted

Who is the culprit in your opinion?

I believe Montague D. was the culprit because he committed suicide on November the 9^th in the morning. So maybe he got* scared after killing Mary Jane Kelly.

I suppose it’s Aaron K. because he lied when he said* he was* at the Ten Bells with his brother, whereas he didn’t have any brothers. He was a hairdresser so maybe he knew* the victims because he cut* their hair.

I think Francis T. is the culprit because he had access to many weapons (he was a doctor) and he had a collection of female organs at home! Maybe, he hired someone to kill the female prostitutes.

Homework for Monday 7th : être capable de dire qui est le coupable selon vous et pourquoi. Ramener son brouillon de tâche finale si ce n'est pas déjà fait. 

Hello!
