today, after taking a quick oral test about the lesson that Felix did quite well, we corrected some sentences that you had to translate. We saw that possibility/probability could be translated with the modal auxiliary "MAY". Be careful whether you speak about an event in the present or future, or an event in the past. You can have more information about MODAL AUXILIARIES in the grammar section of the blog.
Then, we watched a video. We took only notes in the copybook at first with the help of the wh- pronouns but we then wrote a whole paragraph about it. Here it reads:
"The scene takes place in Russia in 1907. It depicts a "pogrom", the persecution of Jews at the beginning of the 20th century. Russian soldiers who were riding horses set the village on fire. Some people tried to flee the battle but they were shot dead. A man managed to escape but he was injured. He limped."
VOC: - rifles / guns / swords - injured = wounded
You can watch the video again below:
HW: être capable de présenter à la classe en anglais ce que sont: - Ellis Island - Pogrom - "E Pluribus Unum"
