we first did a warm up about your vacation and we did some phonetics. Here is what we wrote:
Warm up : During the vacation, - I wandered / strolled in the streets of Paris. (=alone) - I hanged out with my cousin and we did some shopping in Chatelet.
Warning!! : Verbes à prépositions changent de sens : look = sembler look for = chercher look at = regarder look up = chercher dans un dictionnaire look like = ressembler look after = s'occuper de... look up to = ...
As I feared you might not remember everything properly, we had to do a quick recap about the Civil War and about the Civil Rights Movement. Here is what we wrote:
Civil War : It took place in the 19th century. It opposed the States from the South and the North. It ended in 1865. It ended slavery. Blacks were not enslaved anymore.
Civil Rights Movement : It took place in the 20th century. It marked the end of racial segregation in the late 1960's. Black people were not segregated anymore.
Black people used to be discriminated against. Black people used to be slaves. Black people used to be segregated.
Then, we started speaking about the cartoon p. 52. Here is what we said:
The cartoon is cynical. Black people became free after the Civil War but : - they were still discriminated against. - they were still mentally enslaved.
Vocabulary: A tree = un arbre. A limb = une grosse branche A branch = une petite branche. A trunk = un tronc. A root = une racine. A leaf (leaves) = une feuille(s). A flower = une fleur. Fruit = un/des fruit(s).
Remember: USED TO + V = outil qui sert pour parler d'une action passée et complètement révolue. Cet outil sert à exprimer le contraste entre ce qui était vrai avant et la situation actuelle. NOT ... ANYMORE / ANYLONGER = outil qui sert à mettre un terme à une action et exprimer le changement de celle-ci. STILL (adv. = se place avant le verbe): outil qui sert à exprimer la continuité d'une action dans le temps. C'était vrai avant et c'est toujours/encore vrai.
HW: some of you (Jérôme and Manon) have specific homework. For the others, please find what the expression "Jim Crow Laws" refers to and give at least 3 examples of these laws.
