today we first warmed up about your future jobs while waiting for those who were late. Here is what you said:
I would like to become an architect when I leave highschool. (Selma) I want to study law to be a lawyer maybe. (Jérôme)
Structures: WANT TO // WOULD LIKETO -- Attention aux noms de métiers qui sont précédés de l'article a/an
Then we did a quick recap about what Jim Crow lawsused to be. Here is what we said:
Jim Crow Laws:
These were laws about racial segregation until the end of the 1960's. Blacks were not allowed to go to school with Whites. Blacks were not allowed toattend school with Whites. Blacks were forbidden to live together: there were separate water fountains, rest rooms, or entrances at restaurants. They were prohibited to sit at the front of a bus.
KKK(1865-...):
white Protestants supremacy of the white race white costumes terrorism and violence to oppress Blacks.
Finally, we listened to the text and we started our general comprehesion by highlighting the important information about the type of document, the places, the time, ... Here is what we wrote:
Text "Southern Trees":
- type of doc: extract from the autobiographic novel of Billie Holliday - who: Billie Holliday, Lewis Allen, piano player of Billie, Pop, audience, bitch - where: in New-York, at Cafe Society, on 52nd Street, Miami, Los Angeles - when: published in 1956
HW: you need to finish answering the usual wh- questions about the text (in particular about the feelings of the characters involved). You also need to divide the text into 2 parts, give them a title, and justify your titles.
NB: you will have a vocabulary test next week with the words from the lesson and the words from the tool box p. 53. You may also have a test about the text and about racial discrimination in the US on Wednesday. It will depend on how far we are into the study of the document: "Southern Trees".

Thanks Amaury for the update.<br />
See some typos that you have made to make sure you have not mispelled the words in your copybook.<br />
<br />
Take care,<br />
