Hi guys,

today we talked about your research about Madame Tussaud and her museum. You had to find information about her.

Then we listened to the document about Lucy's visit of London and to the famous wax museum.

Here are the verbs you could identify from the document:

- went (to) / travelled / took (photos) / executed (beheaded) / saw / kissed

-> Lucy went to the museum with her pen friend. They travelled back in time in the history section. They took photos of Henry VIII who executed two of his wives. They also took photos of the Royal family. They saw celebrities in the pop stars section. Lucy's pen friend kissed Brad Pitt.

---------------

In orange = irregular verbs
In green = regular verbs

Hi everyone,

today we first talked about what you did during your holidays.
Lots of you went to your family or your family came to Lyon. You celebrated Christmas and the New Year. Some of you had lots of gifts.

Then we continued the class with a performance of Walid and Rhama that was rather good. As for the others, you didn't know your part... so I can't say you will have good marks.

Finally, we started to speak about the new sequence and Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London, the equivalent of the "Musée Grévin" in Paris.

I showed you some pictures of wax statues:

- Queen Elizabeth II

- Brad Pitt

- Camilla Parker Bowles

- Lady Diana

- Charles Dickens : he was a British writer.

- s'il y a suffisamment de volontaires demain pour passer sur le texte: "A Royal Execution", je permettrai au retardataire de passer et de ne pas avoir "zéro" pour cette note. Sinon, ce sera trop tard...

Hi guys,

today after a quick recap of the situation in the play, you had to read the text with a part each.

We then worked on pronunciation of the /-age/ and /-ous/ endings.

Attention, ces suffixes non accentués ne se prononcent pas avec les lettres françaises mais avec un [i] pour /-age/ et un [ə] pour /-ous/

Examples:

- 'marriage / 'courage / 'orphanage / ...
- 'dangerous / 'suspicious / ...

Hi guys,

today you first had to take a test about Thanksgiving. It was a conversation you had to try and understand. I'll correct your copies a.s.a.p.

Then we continued the class with the parody of Henry VIII's life. You did quite a good job understanding. We didn't have time to copy the lesson but here is what you said:

Catherine was divorced because she didn't have a baby boy.

So, Henry married Anne because he didn't have a son. He had a daughter. He wanted a boy. Anne was beheaded because she loved another man.

Henry married Jane who had a son but she died in childbirth. He cried because he was sad. He really loved her.

He married Anne from Germany because he wanted to make a political alliance but he divorced her because she was ugly. She looked like a horse.

His 5th wife Catherine was beheaded because she loved another man too.

He finally married another Catherine who was like a baby sitter and a nurse. She survived Henry but she died one year later in childbirth too.
