Jacob in the Jewish village

09.01.2013

Hi everyone,

today we first made a recap of yesterday's lesson about the different immigration waves in the US.

Here is the chart we made to sum up the situation:

Reasons for fleeing

Goals

Famine: They didn't have food.

Persecutions and wars: They didn't have peace and freedom.

Poverty and unemployment: They didn't have jobs. They didn't have money.

So they fled to have an easier life.

So they went to the USA to find freedom.

So they escaped to the US to raise their children and to have better conditions of living.

Grammar:

L'expression du "but" (goal) = TO + BV / IN ORDER TO + BV / SO AS TO + BV

Then we finished the lesson with commenting on a video document about the attack of a Jewish village. You can watch it again below:

Here is what we said about it:

The scene takes place in a village in Russia in 1917.

Jacob is the main character.

Russian soldiers arrive to persecute the villagers and to torch the village.

They kill everyone including the rabbi.

Jacob escapes but he has been shot and hurt in the leg so he limps.

Finally, he kills a soldier to retaliate.

Vocab:

- soldier / (to) persecute / villager / (to) torch / rabbi / (to) escape / (to) be hurt / (to) be shot / (to) limp / (to) retaliate / (to) flee / peace / freedom / poverty / unemployment / conditions of living
