Blog à destination des élèves du collège Joliot Curie (69500 Bron) mis en place par M. Hattais (Anglais) et Mme Parisi (Italien) en 2013
Hi guys,
today we continued talking about segregation and we wrote down some other Jim Crow Laws. Here are some of the things you said:
* Black people were forbidden to marry with people from another "race".
* Black and white nurses shouldn't work in the same hospitals.
* Blacks had to use special entrances at hospitals.
* They were not allowed to exchange books with whites.
...
Then we watched the 2nd extract from the movie "Ruby Bridges". You analysed the differences between the two extracts we watched:
She is brave / determined whereas she was scared.
The wall was clean whereas now it's covered in graffitti and tomato. Someone is throwing tomatoes at Ruby.
The angry mob are separated from the girl but Ruby is still escorted by four US marshals.
She is alone. She is wearing a white dress and a white ribbon. She is carrying her school things.
Vocabulary:
- KKK = Ku Klux Klan (a racist cult)
- throw
- carry
- wear
- protest
Grammar:
Quand on peut observer une action (voir, entendre, ...) -> on met des "lunettes" au verbe pour le conjuguer = BE + ING
WHEREAS = mot de l'opposition = "alors que..."
