Population in the US + Pogrom in Russia

Hi guys,

we first studied how the American population was distributed in the US according to "race and ethnicity" but also density thanks to the following powerpoint presentation:

(opens with open office)

Here is what we said about it: 

In 2010, there were 308 million inhabitants in the US:
. . .*72% of Caucasians
. . .*12% of Afro Americans
. . .*5% of Asians
. . .*16% of Latin Americans / Hispanics

Every year the population of the US increases.
The two fastest growing ethnic groups are Hispanics and Asians.  
There are differences according to the States. For example, in California there are fewer Caucasians and more Hispanics.
NB: The center of the US is not densely populated compared to the coasts.

Then we continued the class with a picture which served as an anticipation to the extract from the movie Ellis Island we watched later.

Here is what we said:

The picture shows a star of David (the symbol for the Jewish community). It's at the top of synagogue, on fire.
The building is burning. It makes me sad, scared and worried.

I guess Nazis or Palestinians burnt the building or it was an accident.

Rephrase: l'hypothèse sur un fait passé

... may have + p.passé       or        ... might have + p. passé

-> Nazis MAY HAVE burnt the synagogue.
-> It MIGHT HAVE been an accident.

You can have a look at the video down here again. We will make further comments about it next time:
