Hello everyone,

Today, we finished working on child labour.

We completed the grid with names, countries, occupations and obligations.

Then we finished with the study of Paula's story.

Homework : Learn obligation + two examples.

Savoir expliquer comment on exprime l'obligation en anglais puis donner deux exemples.

For example you can use these sentences :

- Assane had to leave his people to find money.

- Paula had to prostitute to pay for her drugs.

- Pablo had to take the bus for nearly 2 hours to get to the market.

- Kumar had to sleep on tables at the hotel.

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, we corrected your homework.

You had to present and describe the three documents from the triptych about Oliver Twist.

Here are some possibilities :

Correction of the homework

Document 1

This document is a movie still from the film “Oliver Twist” produced by Roman Polanski in 2005.

On the picture, we can see orphans eating at a table, the master who looks/seems furious, the cooks who look shocked and surprised and we can see Oliver’s back only.

So, the focus is on the master’s, the cooks’ and the children’s reaction.

Document 2

This document is a painting made by Harold Copping and painted in 1924.

It is entitled “Oliver asks for more”. Indeed, in this scene, Oliver is asking for

     /in’tait ld/

more food and everybody looks shocked.

This time, the focus is on the master, the cooks as well as on Oliver.

Oliver seems to be panicked/scared/very nervous.

Document 3

This document is a text taken from the book entitled Oliver Twist, chapter two.

It was written by Charles Dickens in 1839.

In this extract, Oliver is accomplishing a challenge: he is asking for more food.

He keeps asking for more, and it makes the master become furious.

The master tries to hit Oliver. (ne pas confondre : eat, heat, hit, it)

Then, we worked on new documents about Child Labour.

You had to complete a grid with the names, countries, occupations and obligations of these children or teenagers.

HOMEWORK : learn the correction of one document and complete the grid.

Hello everyone,

These days, we worked on two tenses : prétérit simple and prétérit be+V-ing.

Here are our documents :
