Child labour

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.
