today we first warmed up about what "World AIDS day" is and the means of action and protection against the virus. Here is some vocabulary that you needed to express yourself:
December 1st, World AIDS today. We can donate money to charities. Celebrities promote the wearing of the red ribbon. Scientists are looking for a treatment which blocks the evolution of the virus. They have found a first (inefficient) vaccine but it's a breakthrough.
Then we corrected your essays. You had to highlight the link words as usual and find three proofreading objectives for next essay. Eventually I gave you two corrected essays about Strange Fruit and Southern Trees. You can download them here:
Here is the vocabulary that I gave you to speak about the subject of committed artists:
Pour une prise de position: Get committed against / for = Get involved against / for = Stand up against / for = Take a stand against / for
Grammar: Every + singular + present"s" For example: Everybody works hard or everybody has role to play. To Have (et sa négation): I don't have money and he doesn't have any either.
Vocabulary: efficient persuasive = convincing
HW: make sure that you all have your translation exercise ready for tomorrow Wednesday.
As for the question asked by Eliott concerning his average grade for the first term, here is the information: Eliott, your average grade is 11.25/20 because you have a rather bad mark in oral involvement this term : 09/20. I'm sure you can do better as you have already proved you could in the first part of the 2nd term!
