Iphone 5 concept + Real or Fake product / service?

Hey guys, 

 

I got annoyed today when both Romain and Morgane behaved really badly. This is not the attitude you could expect from senior students whom you treat like grown-ups but whose attitude resembles more that of a 6-year-old... Do this again and you'll suffer much worse consequences than you can possibly imagine... This is a friendly WARNING still, but I won't be patient with you anymore!

 

However, today we succeeded in studying three main documents. First, we talked about this video:

 

 

 

 

Here is what we said about it:

 

 

Warm up: Iphone 5 - The concept 

The document introduces 3 news possible options / features for Iphone 5

1. It's thinner than ever before. The problem is that it will not reassure the customer.
It could be easy to break.
2.  keyboard (projection) : The projected keyboard alrealdy exists for computers in the USA 
according to Shay.
3. Hologrammes / holographic pictures and videos : the holographic projection looks fake / incredible / impossible / unbelievable but if it were true it would be great!

 

 

Then we continued the lesson with the study of two texts in groups. You had to exchange information when you were done trying to understand them. Here is what we said about the first text:

 


Fake or real products / services?

The document is about a product which produces energy with sun power: a solar panel. The inventor is teenager from a village in Nepal; he invented this discovery in 2009.
His invention uses human hair to conduct electricity; so / consequently it only costs £23.
It's a real product since the article was published in the Daily Mail, a reliable / serious British newspaper.

a reliable / serious / trustworthy newspaper = a broadsheet # a tabloid 


"I can't believe what I am reading and yet it's true"    ---   unreal # true

 

Here is what we wrote about the 2nd text (notes only):

 

"to be written by Sitti"

 

Finally, we concluded with the opinion of the blogger about the fake excuses website. Here are the important words that indicate he/she does not really have a positive opinion about it:

 

"to be written by Sitti"

 

HW:

- revoir tout le lexique spécifique à l'analyse de documents visuels (contrôle écrit de début d'heure)

- Rendre par écrit les 4 items manquant de l'analyse de la publicité pour l'Ipad 2 (I-D = faits et rédigés en classe; il vous reste A-H-O + Branch Out à terminer; nous avons déjà partiellement commenté cette image en classe; veillez à réutiliser les idées mentionnées)

- préparer un compte rendu oral du texte n°2 étudié classe aujourd'hui (intitulé "Fake excuses for sale")

- Pour le vendredi 4 Novembre (juste après les vacances), rendre l'argumentation en 200 mots pour le sujet suivant: "Do you think some internet services or websites should be banned / outlawed / fordidden?" (indiquez le nombre de mots réellement produits)
