English Day by Day is designed for school students to improve their performance in the English language.
Hey guys,
first today we warmed up with the atmosphere in the class (curtains drawn so that it was really dark). Then we watched an extract from the movie King Kong and you had to concentrate on the connection with our text as far as the lines of analysis we have drawn so far are concerned. Here is what we said:
"to be written by Naomi / Amélie"
We also commented on POV from the movie and determined that the main point of view was that of the girl in the center about to taken by the gorilla into the forest, from the "pit" (Hell) to the "heart of darkness".
However, the director tries to make us feel the feelings of each group of characters by focusing on their eyes at some point.
Additional vocabulary:
"to be written by Naomi / Amélie"
Then in the 2nd part of the hour, we did a bit a theater. I taught you how to move on stage (staging) and how to act on stage (acting). You will have to rehearse your part for next time since we are going to perform an adapation from this text.
HW:
- apprenez votre texte (une ou deux lignes donc) en fonction de votre groupe. Le groupe est déjà passé mais il faudra bien sûr affiner la représentation. Les autres devront se remettre ensemble pour créer une adaptation du texte en fonction de leur propre interprétation.
