Work from home part 1

Chères et chers élèves,

veuillez me faire savoir qui parmi vous s'est décidé à passer l'épreuve en première, c'est important pour la suite! Je vous redonne à cette fin mon adresse email: slorent.fimon@gmail.com

Maintenant, voici ce que je vous propose:

Hey there.

I'll give you work from here regularly, with documents and texts and papers and tests. We still should be on schedule, because we are going to finish that year, no matter what!

Here's your first activity. We talked a bit about books and novels and poetry. BUT! We haven't yet talked about the most famous writer of all : W. Shakespeare.

So why has Shakespeare become such an incomparable giant ? Well, let's try and see by studying some of his greatest plays.

We'll start Macbeth.

First, read Act I, scene 1, and scene 2. But because it is so difficult to understand, here's a movie performance for you, with French subtitles. After you've read / watched the scene, please try and answer the following questions in your notebook:

1. What atmosphere does the first scene convey?
2. In scene 2, how is Macbeth portrayed?
3. What role does violence play in those two scenes?


We'll carry on on part 2!



Take care and stay safe.

PS= pour celles et ceux qui auraient des difficultés à bien comprendre les activités proposées, c'est votre premier travail : assurez-vous du sens de ce qui vous est demandé. Aidez-vous d'outils en ligne comme ce dictionnaire, par exemple! En tout cas, ne vous découragez pas s'il vous plaît. Bon travail.

Poe. lost & confused / vocab is difficult, will I understand the rest of the story? The very first paragraph is a depiction of a solitary place in Steinbeck's favourite playground : the state of California. Here, we are introduced to a little "sandy bank" of the Salinas River. The words used by Steinbeck are vivid, almost poetical : the water "twinkles" and the foothills are "golden." It gives that incipit a lyrical twist ( =touch )/ This incipit has a lyrical twist to it. Steinbeck describes the scene the way a painter would, using light and colours to convey (= transmettre ) a feel...
