- American citizens are really proud of the country, their anthem, they plant flags in their frontyard, they're very patriotic
- playing such a discordant, dissonant version of the anthem is like a slap in the face : he deflects (détourner) the anthem to destroy it, he transforms it into a piece of trash
- let's analyse his style: the anthem is sometimes unrecognizable. His aggressive, raw, brutal version reminds us of the sounds of war. 
- He imitates the firing of guns, the dropping of bombs, the sound of rifles, rockets and screaming
- This piece is an outstanding criticism of the Vietnam war, he's denouncing the atrocities perpetuated there by desecrating (désacraliser) an iconic anthem
- he closed the festival. some people were utterly shocked, dumbfounded, perplex and puzzled. ]]> 2018-03-28 20:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247079547 bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247079832 2018-03-28 20:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247079832 Vocabulary Test bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247082020 Star Spangled Banner]]> 2018-03-28 21:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247082020 Dictée American Way of Life + feelings bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247258036 click below ]]> 2018-03-29 14:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247258036 Exercice : Hippie bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247524179 Match the word with the picture]]> 2018-03-30 17:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/247524179 CRE Poster bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/280262708 Plurality of ethnies, skin colours, origins, religions.

The black kids seem to be new in town : they have just moved in. There’s a moving van in the background and some pieces of furniture on the left. There are many parallels in the painting : both boys are wearing a baseball equipment, but the black boy has an old and dirty baseball glove + worn out (used) shoes = therefore / consequently we may infer they belong to a lower class. The black kids have a white cat whereas the white kids own a black dog : although the whites may consider themselves as superior, the cat is looking down on them, it is a free & independent animal, maybe like the black kids in their minds. ]]> 2018-09-28 09:47:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/286866551 Just a Kiss, Ken Loach bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/286866822 Film poster :

They seem to be very much attracted/drawn to each other, they will probably fall in love, but the fact that he is from Pakistan (as we can see on the flag) and a Muslim might be an issue (arranged marriage...) and she is a Catholic = how to bridge the social and religious gap between? how to overcome (surmonter) their differences and ignore the prejudice (préjugés) ? 
The broken wall = negative sign = could symbolise the pressure their parents put on their shoulders, the border/frontier between them, the impossibility to be together.
could also be a positive sign : it is about to fall down/collapse = therefore, their differences will no longer matter. ]]> 2018-09-28 09:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/286866822 Exercice : Present Perfect or Present Perfect Continuous? bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/286871561 2018-09-28 10:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/286871561 Interview with Hanif Kureishi bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/292085844 He wrote The Buddha of Suburbia and explains the strife and struggle of a young Indian living in a British suburb. He faced racism, discrimination from a culture that was based on exclusion, looking down (denigrating) on multicultural ethnies, thinking they were inferior or uneducated. 
Life in the suburbs = traumatic for him.

Orient is a construction, a fantasy stemming (generated) from Western countries. Therefore, he never really had the chance to show who he really was : he was stuck between his own culture (he did not really identify with it), with the British culture, seen as the mainstream "superior" culture he didn't relate to either, and the projections from other people on him.

DCameron was the former Prime Minister from the Conservative Party (sticking for tradition). He says that MTC has failed, because people live their lives in segregated communities, above all  young Muslims who are rootless and hopeless, and prone to (enclins à) radicalization because they desperately need something to belong to. He added that they don't identify with traditional Islam not with Britain, and that MTC is a "doctrine" that encourages separatism, or accepting forced marriages, bullies (persecution)....

Our opinion : 
This vision of MTC may be extreme and very cliché about Islam too. He seems to confuse MTC with terrorism and only focuses on this matter.]]> 2018-10-12 09:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/292086421 Benjamin Zephanaiah : I'm turning into an anarchist bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/292086523 Compare David Cameron's speech to Zephanaiah's vision. Why does he say "I'm turning into an anarchist"?

Zephanaiah highlights the fact that refugees are often ill-treated and seen negatively, as if they were mere (simple) numbers and statistics. He aims on restoring their humanity by focusing on their stories. Politicians tend to dehumanise refugees.

MTC is what Britain has always been! From Celts, to Picts or Saxons, Britain has always been a melting pot of cultures and peoples. (peuples) Being against MTC is being against Britain. 

Whenever a problem arises and is amplified by the media (a fight between mtc ethnies), MTC is always at stake, shown as the triggering element for the crisis... 

When he says "I'm turning into an anarchist", he means he is fed up with the current politics, and he urges people to hold on to (keep) power in order to preserve their humanity, their stories, their authenticity. ]]> 2018-10-12 09:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/292086523 DREAMS, HOPES AND WISHES bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/302820957 Question raised: To what extent are our dreams potential creations of another world, a better world?]]> 2018-11-10 04:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/302820957 Dreams Brainstorming bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/302821008 - dreamcatchers : to avoid nightmares, to prevent from having bad dreams

I have already been abroad, for example, during this vacations. I have gone to Spain and to Italy. I have loved this city, called Platja d’Aro, next to the famous city Barcelona. I have learnt l a lot of things, as schedules because the spanish people have their lunch at 04 pm. Talking about dishes, Ihave adapted to eating tapas, that I have shared with everybody. I have visited the Dali’s Museum, it was a nice experience, and I have gone in Cadaques. To conclude, I have noticed that the majority of spanish people take a nap and are very friendly and pleasant.

Lyrics :
- highlight the different lexical fiels in the text
- find 2 rhetorical questions, what is their function?
- find 4 comparisons/similes & explain them
- "I'll rise" : what myth can this song refer to? What does that say about the black community?

Live :
- comment on the posture / attitude of the singer, what does his gesture refer to?
-> Ben Harper supports the black panther movement with this famous salute salute (fist clenched)which is a symbol of power / self-assertion (you stand up for your rights)


  1. Lexical fields : violence (shot me / cut me / shame / broken) + sadness (pain / weakened / tears / cries / gloom) + happiness (happiness / confidence / laugh ) + wealth (goldmine / diamond mine / oil well :puits de pétrole) = emotional but very contradictory / paradoxical, it's an emotional rollercoaster
  2. « Does my happiness upset you / why are you best with gloom » = dwell on / point out / underscore / underline the fact that some racist people may be upset because of the happiness / freedom of the black community, it's a theoretical question, he's not really asking the audience, he wants them to question themselves about this. He's also mocking some white people who are selfish, feel superior to others, feel power-hungry, hateful / scornful / disdainful (méprisant) towards the African-American community. 
  3. « Cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine » = walking proudly, not showing any misery/sadness.
    « Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well » = simile for wealth, but not material wealth, he has some sort of power = positive thoughts / self-love / self-esteem / self-confidence...

What major differences can you spot?

Group 1 : Lifestyle / Way of living
Group 2 : Clothes / Outfits / Looks
Group 3 : Means of transportation

USE :
- exclamations

- There's a sharp contrast between the American Way of Life which is very conformist, and the Hippie way of life : the typical / average family is gathering around the tv : a sign of modernity and technological progress. Typical families = a nice house, a housewife (the homemaker, the housekeeper), the man is working/makes a living/earns money (an income = a salary), 3 or 4 kids, 1 dog, a huge car, the white-picket fence + garden.
The 2nd picture = a testimony(témoignage) of wealth(richesse) + overconsumption (too much food in the fridge).
On the other hand / on the contrary, the hippies live communal lives in the woods (in wooden cabins). They live like boho/bohemians/hobo, close to nature, free love = we don't know whose kids belong to whom...
- The clothes and attitudes are drastically different : on the first hand, the conformists = neat as a pin (tiré à 4 épingles), clean, classy, preppy. On the other hand, the hippies = free-spirited, loose (ample) and colourful clothes coming from thrift shops / second hand shops. They don't care, they dare to (oser) be different, they're not afraid of the mud (boue) in festivals...
- The means of transportation are quite revealing of the opposite ideologies : the conformist America is eager (really wants) to show their wealth in brand-new cars whereas (alors que) the hippies are longing for communal ways of living, they want to share more, to live together in colourful places/vans, they don't have enough money, they can even be broke / destitute (very poor) and they were earth-friendly, not tied to materialism. ]]> 2019-02-12 18:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330508177 Rappel Règles Grammaticales bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330525916 2019-02-12 19:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330525916 LINK WORDS bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330526035 2019-02-12 19:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330526035 ANALYTICAL WORDS bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330526114 for essays]]> 2019-02-12 19:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/330526114 Woodstock bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/342494753 overcrowded

Released in 62 = in the middle of the Vietnam War
This song expresses many different subjects : freedom / the Vietnam War (refers to it through the « canonballs », but not explicitly)
Doesn't suggest any solutions, it conveys (sends) the idea that there are solutions, but the Government is not looking for them = people seek (look for) an answer, but all they have is silence (the wind)
Violence / wars / madness are part of our human nature / maybe the truth is easy to reach out and grasp but nobody is really trying to change the world. Blowing in the wind = metaphor for inactivity / passivity. 

Is it a protest song ? We don't really know, it doesn't aim (target) any specific context but it does raise awareness and question people. It is a reflective/reflexive song

IMAGINE :

It's a way to escape reality = he depicts a utopian world that is like a shelter (a refuge) in order to inspire people. 
He points out that wars are triggered by religious and territory conflicts, so he dreams of another world where none of this exists.

This is an obvious reference to Stephon Clark, a black American who was shot dead by a cop, just bc he had his cell in his hand... CG is showing off his torso, proud of his skin colour, but in the clip he embodies the good and the bad guy, the hero and the villain to underline how subtle and nuanced the boundaries are between good and bad in America... (above all in a country where you're free to bear an arm/gun). His mimicking and funny faces also mirror the racist posters from the 19th century of black people as "Minstrels" (entertainers for the white audience). They are degra caricatures of black people (red lips, very dark skin, big smile...). The dances imitate the Gwara-gwara, a tribal dance that is both a celebration of African heritage, but also a sort of caricature (with mimicking etc) of the caricatures from the 19th century, and a patent animalisation and dehumanisation of the Black community in the USA. ]]> 2019-04-02 10:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347543723 This is America - VIOLENCE & ENTERTAINMENT bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347543772 Violence is clearly omnipresent in the clip, and completely underrated, disregarded/ignored. A man is killed and his body is moved like a piece of trash : blatant dehumanisation. People just pay more attention to the dancing parts and the singing, rather than to the riots, the arrests, the arson (car set on fire). The backup dancers are also dressed like little girls (as in the painting "The Problem we All Live With" by Norman Rockwell) going to school right after desegregation and suffering discrimination and racism despite segregation being now illegal. The clip really enhances this dual reality : acts of violence VS people filming them on their phones (cells), people getting killed VS cheerful dancers, people moving on... Violence is almost seen like a form of entertainment, and massive shootings like a reality show people would be hooked on (addicted to)...]]> 2019-04-02 10:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347543772 This is America - SLAVES bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347543840 Slaves were treated like dogs (kenneled, beaten...) as the lyrics point that out. The lyrics also draw a parallel with the way the black community is currently treated (like dogs, still : now segregated, now undermined, cooped up and confined). As the singer is running fast at the end in a very dark corridor, chased by the Police, this could echo slaves trying to run away from their masters/owners. He's also shirtless to show how he lost his dignity.

As the beat is drastically shifting (from uptempo beats layered with afrobeat pulses to a darker /aggressive tone) and the killings/massive shootings alternate with dancing parts (really cheerful and light-hearted!), the clip emphasizes how shocking these massive shootings are. The shooter being black dwells on the fact that the culprit is often the person you least expect to be.
What is paramount (essential) is what's happening in the background, however we always focus on the foreground, the dancing and the singing. It sheds light on our inability to develop our critical mind for we get too often distracted by the media and their biased vision. Their agenda (hidden purpose) is to urge people to "get over it", to consider the shootings as background events (both literally and metaphorically). ]]> 2019-04-02 10:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347543887 bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347600177 2019-04-02 13:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/347600177 Survey Bromley bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/365547227 https://goo.gl/forms/uRZuUUfDR3ZbhOw42]]> 2019-06-04 11:32:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/365547227 Harry Potter / Hogwarts bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/458554641 a) We can see the main characters (students) of the film in the foreground : Harry, Ron, Hermione...

What is the difference between this self portrait and his previous ones?
Who are the other artists mentioned?
Which are the "three selves" that Rockwell is representing?

TRIPLE SELF PORTRAIT - Norman Rockwell

1) In his previous paintings, he concealed (to hide) among other faces because he was a shy and modest man. That's the first time he's the subject of a cover.
2) The other artists mentioned are Dürer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Picasso who were his inspirations.
3) He depicted his 3 selves : the painter, the observer (in the mirror), and the public image (the image he wanted to convey (transmettre/véhiculer) : the ideal, more « suave » and « debonair ».
It's a painting within a painting : mise en abyme

He used to paint himself with other people, and this Triple Self-Portrait is his first one (all by himself = alone). On his SP he also pinned 4 important inspirations: Dürer, Picasso, Rembrandt and Van Gogh + some personal sketches.
The 3 "selves" (self, plural)are the painter, the observer and the public image.
Helmet = a reminder not to be fooled by appearances (fooled = tricked)
Fogged glasses = he couldn't see what he looked like

Can you imagine the artist's intentions?

Andy Warhol belonged to the pop art movement. His art consisted in a melting pot of visual techniques : impression of collage, superimposition of pictures (using the silkscreen printing), analog photography. 
The primary colours and the different colourful faces reflect the different layers of his personality and his mood (sad = depressed, dejected, downhearted, downcast / crazy / weird, strange / unusual / he also looks "high"/ on drugs) and highlights his complexity. We can notice his fingerprints on the bottom-right corner of the self portrait: it may be a way to leave a mark. 

I prefer this sp to Norman Rockwell's because it is more m]]> 2020-09-01 18:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712856473 Andy Warhol (quote text voc) bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712861481 What do you think the quote means?

His art is meant to depict (through painting, collage...) his true self, although he doesn't really reveal specific details about himself.

After reading the text: has it helped you to understand the artist's intentions? Do you agree with the description of his work?

Warhol played with the duality of his art; superficila/shallow (because he was simply taking pictures of himself) and deep/profound (because he conveyed a sense of immediacy and had built a fictional persona, a mask). He meant to disclose (reveal) and conceal (hide) his personality, showing a paradoxical aspect of himself: both vulnerable (weak) and strong.

The text reveals the many contradictions of Warhol's personality. It is filled with / full of antonyms (vulnerable / invulnerable, everything / nothing, superficial / profound) that give away his complexity, his contradictory/paradoxical and tormented nature. There's also a sense of playfulness, his art is bound (connected/related) to his identity

Why do you think Cindy Sherman is called “The Chameleon”?

She's using diverse hairstyles, wigs, clothes, sometimes she's tanned/sunburnt, she chooses different poses... She's nicknamed the chameleon because it can change its colours, conceal and shift... We can infer/suppose that changing herself/shedding skin (like a snake) is also a way to protect her true self, and showing/displaying a diversity of women in society.

Cindy Sherman (US photographer) has been called the Chameleon because she's able to transform (like a shapeshifter = métamorphe) into different characters. Those self-portraits exhibited show different looks and attitudes (hair color, clothes, skin tone = tanned or fair-skinned = pale)]]> 2020-09-01 18:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712863847 Cindy Sherman - text bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712866396 b) Read the first two paragraphs.

    Explain: What do you know about the “real” Cindy Sherman?
d. Explain the differences between her old and her new technique.
e.  In your opinion, what is Cindy Sherman’s intention when she creates
her photographs?

Sherman gets inspired by cinema, actresses, painters... to create her different characters/persona. She dresses up, uses props (accessories) in order to/so as to (dans le but) explore her different identities/personalities that are versatile and ever-changing. We don't know much about her true self, she conceals herself. 
Even though (if) she's showing a bit more her true self in her latest art, she's still using digital devices to change her looks. 
Maybe she's aiming at showing that appearances are deceptive (they can fool you), her message is "don't judge a book by its cover"), she also means to explore the instability of self-identity and reinvent herself. ]]> 2020-09-01 18:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712866396 What the background says about your mood... bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712868259 How are the elements of his biography reflected in his visual works?

The painting on the left is a classic representation of the artist: we can see his paintbrushes and palette on the bottom-left corner. He appears as an established artist but he only sold 1 painting in his whole life!
It was painted with darker shades (nuances) of blue than the painting on the right. The background is filled with straight lines, nervous brushstrokes (coups de pinceau) that convey (véhiculer) stress, strain and worry. His face is painted with complementary colours (yellow, orange, red) but he looks stressed out, down-hearted, downcast, dejected (sad). Indeed (en effet), Van Gogh was going through a nervous breakdown when he did this self-portrait.

The second SP was painted with softer hues (teintes), swirls, waves. He definitely looks calmer, and the background also reveals his deepest feelings.

Van Gogh is using different shades of blue to convey the multiple nuances of his moods (humeurs).
The darker shades are associated to mystery, darkness & the Devil (for him). The nervous brushstrokes symbolize his nervous breakdown (depression). However the 2nd SP represents a calmer version of himself : the colours are soothing (calming). ]]> 2020-09-01 18:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712868259 Robert Mapplethorpe bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712871259 Have a look at the first SP. What impressions does it convey? What does Mapplethorpe look like?
Now have a look at the 2nd SP. What are the differences? What does his choice of accessory and colour say about him?

The self-portrait on the left conveys the image of a bad boy, an anti-hero. He's smoking a cigarette, he has Elvis' haircut (with the slicked hair), he's wearing a leather jacket. He seems to have a rock n' roll lifestyle, party hard... He has dark circles (cernes) under the eyes, and his gaze (regard) is mysterious and mesmerizing (hypnotizing). He's very charismatic. Because of the dark background, his face really stands out. The black and white analog photography (argentique) can also boost self-embellishment for the typical portraits.
On the right, he looks much older. We learned that the 2nd picture was only taken 8 years after the first one. Meanwhile, he got lines/wrinkles (rides) on his forehead and grey hair. He looks tired/exhausted. He actually got AIDS (le sida), and knew he was going to die soon. (it turns out he died just a few months after this photo was taken). On the first sp, his shirt was open whereas here he's wearing a turtle-neck sweater (col roulé) and seems to be melting into/ fading into (se fondre / s'effacer) the background. This darkness could be an epitome (a symbol) of his death drawing closer (coming closer). However (cependant) he doesn't look dejected/sad. He is in control of his own life but also of his own death. Indeed (en effet), his walking stick is supposed to help him walk, it's also a sign of age/weakness (faiblesse), but here he's holding it as an instrument of power, a sceptre, a magic wand or a sword (épée). He has accepted his fate (his destiny).

SP on the left (1980) :
On this SP Robert Mapplethorpe looks self-confident, sure of himself. He's smoking a cigarette + wearing a black leather jacket = he looks like a rebel. His gaze (eyes) is powerful & hypnotizing/mesmerizing, he clearly looks like a "bad boy" with his slicked hair.

SP on the right (1988) :
He looks much older here, he has got wrinkles/lines, white hair, he seems exhausted (tired) = he actually got AIDS (sida) and knew he was going to die (he just died a few months after this picture was taken). He's wearing a black turtle-neck (col roulé) and seems to be fading into the background (confusion between his body & the background) he's absorbed by the darkness around him. This darkness could symbolise his future death. He's holding a walking stick that looks like a sceptre with a skull (crâne) = this could be a sign of old age, but he's holding it as an intrument of power = he has accepted his fate / destiny and seems to control it now. Even if he looks more strict/stern than in the first SP, he also looks more determined or confident.]]> 2020-09-01 18:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/712871259 DST correction Expression bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/889198421 Selfies: Self-love, self-discovery or narcissism?

are an act of self-love, self-discovery or narcissism? 
Self-love is an act of positivity which makes us 
feel good about ourselves and self-confident. 
Moreover / Besides, selfies can also help our self-discovery and help us assert/affirm ourselves by getting to know ourselves
better. 
However narcissism is an obsession with our image 
connected to an idea of superiority and self-centeredness
(being too focused on ourselves)
In my opinion / From my point of view / Personally, 
On the one hand, I think... selfies can be positive, they may help insecure people with low self-confidence : 
they can boost your self-esteem and also show the reality 
(without filters) and even reveal/give away your 
personality and your vivid imagination. 
Still / However / Yet / Whereas / On the other hand, 
social media can also cause a toxic atmosphere and 
create narcissism = people are obsessed with themselves
and constantly compare themselves to the others. ]]> 2020-11-04 08:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/889198421 New Orleans : video bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1059110031 1. Atmosphere in New Orleans?

Réponds aux questions a/b/c :

A)  I think Sevenoaks is a nice boarding school (internat) where you feel integrated. It may be a place where people are friendly and you feel like home. It is probably a very cosy boarding school because the rooms seem comfortable. Everybody seems to get on well  (bien s'entendre) at Sevenoaks.

B)  There are many different (in shape and size) buildings. There is a great staff (personnel). The boarding house offers many activities such as inter-boarding house mingling and socials. Besides there is an activity on Sunday. It can be rock climbing, going to a football game or even to the cinema.

C)  Sevenoaks seems to be a lot more modern than Malory Towers. Malory Towers is not as modern as Sevenoaks. Malory Towers is more traditional but Sevenoaks is cosier. Sevenoaks is cosier but Malory Towers is a place where students seem to be more hard-working. Students in Malory Towers seem to be more hard-working but teachers in Sevenoaks seem to be friendlier. I imagine Malory Towers would be more conventional than Sevenoaks.

He's wearing a sort of jail outfit (tenue de prison), but most importantly he's got handcuffs (menottes), and the men behind me (like a repetitive echo) also have their hands tied (liées). He's probably singing about slavery, about breaking the chains and breaking free from the shackles (chains) of enslavement (//slavery)]]> 2021-03-31 12:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371606857 11/05 Introductory documents bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371607384 B) Revelations

The choreography seems to conjure up/evoke the feeling of a prayer, there's a light coming from above that could represent spirituality or salvation. This choreography seems to be inspired by the gospels and African dance. The title is Revelations. The dancers experience different emotions leading them to a holy/sacred epiphany (revelation). It conveys a message of hope, similar to the gospel songs that always urge to keep the faith (foi) and stay strong in a time of adversity. The freedom former slaves sought (to seek = rechercher) is at the end of the tunnel.

C) 12 years a slave, film poster
The poster shows a black man running away from something. He could be a former slave, who is now free, but still detained by slaveholders / owners. The title reveals the excruciating (terrible, painful) conditions he had to bear during 12 years. This sheds light on how unfair this society is, despite the fact that he was recognized as a free man.

Recalling a painful past through art could be done thanks to conveying a strong message revealing injustice and unfair treatment, strong emotions, or though beauty and hope with ballets and choreographies shedding light on a more hopeful future to come.  ]]> 2021-03-31 12:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371607384 12/05 The Underground Railroad bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371608067 Have a look at the questions below, watch the video "Songs from Slavery" and take some notes to answer the questions. 

Then, read the text and answer the questions. 

 1) a) Harriet Tubman was a former (past) slave / a famous conductor who helped hundreds of slaves to escape. 

b) The Underground railroad was a secret path slaves could use to run away / steal away / flee. 
Songs sung by slaves had hidden messages telling them how to escape ("follow the drinking gourd" = suivre la grande ourse = go north, "wade in the water" = patauger dans l'eau, ne pas être sentis par les chiens des contre-maîtres = mislead dogs and escape). North meant freedom (Canada or Northern USA = way less racist than the southern states of the USA = abolitionist states)

c) "They were called abolitionists" : structure à la voie passive = S + BE au passé + Participe passé

d) The fact that it's a child telling the story of slaves really focuses on the importance to convey a strong message by educating children from a very young age about the past, and raise awareness (sensibiliser) in the younger ones about the importance of understanding one's mistakes to change the sick patterns (schémas) from the past. 

2) TEXT : 
a) The cartoon conveys the message that Harriet Tubman is strong-willed/determined, rebellious, gutsy (she has guts : courage) and has become a widespread national icon. 

b) Event = place / atmosphere / goal : The event takes place at Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park / Visitor Center. The atmosphere is "anything but bleak" (tout sauf morne), therefore it's heartwarming, energetic, vibrant. The goal is to convey Tubman's energy and mission, her relentless (never stopping) effort to free as many slaves as possible. 

c) H.Tubman's qualities and missions, her impact on the visitors : She set herself a major goal : once she got free, she was led by the desire to help free the other slaves. She was a risk-taker, she was relentless, bold, fearless, brave, lion-hearted. Her impact on the world is huge. Visitors were asked how free did they think they were when their equals were not free? What kind of freedom is that? Still now, she raises questions, she makes people ponder (reflect/think) about their own freedom and social responsibility. Her legacy is her ability to ask yourself the right questions. 

d) The aspects of her personality to remember are : questions the status quo, relentless, fearless, a risk-taker, bold, brave, courageous, lion-hearted...  ]]> 2021-03-31 12:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371608067 12/05 Songs from Slavery bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371608693 2021-03-31 12:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371608693 12/05 VOCABULARY bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371609173 2021-03-31 12:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371609173 14/05 Wade in the Water, Eva Cassidy bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371609766 What does the song advise to do? 
(this song was sung by former slaves, many songs were secret codes indicating how to escape slavery)

The song advises to wade in the water in order to mislead/throw off the slaveholders' dogs and manage to escape!]]> 2021-03-31 12:59:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371609766 19/05 The Underground Railroad, TEXT bordoclair https://padlet.com/bordoclair/seconde2/wish/1371610557  a) They're fearful / frightened / disquieted = worried because they are escaping and going through a very dangerous path... They hear sounds (it's Lovey who is joining them in this perilous journey) and automatically think they are being hunted down by the masters or their dogs... They have trauma engraved on their mind and body, that's why they are so quick to react as well. 

b) "a long time before they slept", "crying", "the whip", "black water" : it's risky, perilous, filled with dangers and pain

c) They had made it = action antérieure au moment du récit (plus que parfait = pluperfect)
VS they stopped = action soudaine se passant au moment de l'énonciation = prétérit / passé simple 

d) North is associated to escapism, both physically / geographically but also spiritually. North epitomizes (incarne) this dual notion. The slaves know that by going north they'll reach a much safer place where slavery has been made unlawful/illegal, and freedom is within reach. They don't need a map because they have the stars. They follow the northern star/ the Drinking Gourd (la grande ourse) according to the song. They also hold North in their heart because it's like a safe haven where they will seek refuge but also the projection of their heart's desire.
