today we made a recap of what "Mount Rushmore" is. Then we continued talking about the statues of the presidents.
We reviewed how to say a date (eg: 18/65 ... 19/01 ... ...) "o".
The date of birth and the date of death -> He was born in ... and he died in ...
Finally you had to listen to a document about the presidents' pets. It was strange to hear for example that Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt had 5 baby bears!!!! Can you imagine?! It's crazy.
A bear is not a pet, it's a wild ferocious animal!!!!!

today you were not particularly well-behaved... for god's sake! The end of your term is near and this is the face you want to give your teachers...? What's in your head? Come on!
Anyways... here is what you said and finally had to write down in your notebooks:
At 4:00 pm, Samuel Mason called the governor. Then a visitor arrived at the mansion. The governor may have been killedbetween 7:30 and 8:00. He must have been stabbed but he can't have been poisoned because there was a puddle of blood. After the crime, Inez Olson called the emergency. Then Liddy Hamilton, the detective arrived. She inquired and asked questions to 3 suspects. Finally, she went back home. At 3:00 am, she called MacCoy to get an arrest warrant. She knew who the killer was.
Vocab:
a mansion = a very big house
Grammar:
must / may / might / can't = auxiliaires modaux de probabilité (must = le plus certain / can't = l'impossible)

today we first tried to work on your song: "What do you do in the evening?" but nobody wanted to share what they had done so let's skip it... too bad for you...
Here is what we finally said:
Morning routine:
(What) do you (do) in the morning?
-> avec un mot interrogatif, on recherche une information précise (qui, où, quand, comment, à quelle heure, combien de temps, ...)
-> DO = an activity
-------> Ex: What time do youget up in the morning?
-------> Do you make your bed?
-------> Do you have a shower or a bath?
Attention, si le sujet change (he / she), l'auxiliaire doit prendre la marque "s" de la 3ème personne du singulier.
-> What time does she get up in the morning?
Vocab:
- spend (time) = passer (du temps)
ex: How much time do you spend in the bathroom?
Finally, I asked you questions about your morning routine and you had to answer. You had to remember who does what in the morning... Do you have a good memory...? Let's see this tomorrow!

today we first made a recap of the situation in the text and then, we worked on identifying the alibis of the suspect and we saw that none of them could really stand.
Here is what we said:
Inez Olson may have killed the governor because she didn't like him. She says he wasn't kind.
Samuel Mason may have murdered him. His alibi is strange. He says he wasn't watching TV or listening to the radio but Hamilton could hear music upstairs.
7:30 - 8:00 = time of the murder
4:00 = telephone call
Finally, you took a lesson and vocabulary test.

Enzo thinks Narbonne beaches are the best place to visit. There are the most beautiful landscapes he has ever seen.
Arno thinks Rome is the most lively city has ever visited. There are the most interesting monuments in the world.
Then we watched the video which promotes the competition for the best job in the world with Ben, the former winner. This year, there are 6 contracts to win.
We talked about the missions of these contracts and you will have to apply at the end of the lesson.

today you had to work on creating a jazz chant for the evening routine.
You worked on vocabulary, rhythm and pronunciation.
At the end of the class, we also modified the second jazz chant to sing in trios so that the person in the middle could be a boy.
We saw we had to change 3 things:
- she -> he
- her -> his
- the verbs with he / she get an "s" for the 3rd person singular.
