Belfast sights handouts (1L1)

23octobre

Dear students of 1L1,

The documents in annex are the final versions of handouts / leaflets listing Belfast tourist sights.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE.
1/ Some of you don't have their productions included in the handouts, either because it was too short and directly taken from the Internet or because it was already made into a leaflet from the very beginning, and I didn't want to change it !
Unfortunately, since the productions that were left often dealt with the same tourist sights, I could not create another handout.

2/ I had to make new groups so that your leaflets enlisted different tourist venues.
-Group 1 is composed of Marie, Euloge, Axel, Maëva, Océane, Inès
-Group 2 includes Théa, Luce, Mélanie, Erine, Ann-Lie, Zeinabou, Agnès
-Group 3's handout gathers the productions made by Sydney, Clément, Lola, Sarah, Louise, Ambre
-Group 4 is made of Camille, Anthony, Justine, Amy, Myriam, Elodie, Charlotte.

Last but not least, the video below will show you more things to do in Belfast if you are willing to make a trip over there !

Belfast sights handouts (1ES1)

23octobre

Dear students of 1ES1,

The documents in annex are the final versions of handouts / leaflets listing Belfast tourist sights.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS.
1) Some of you don't have their productions included in the handouts, either because it was too short and directly taken from the Internet or because it was already made into a leaflet from the very beginning, and I didn't want to change it (Aurélly and Anne: that was very well presented !)

2) I often had to fuse two descriptions of a same sight into one production to include as many people as possible.

Find attached the handouts made by the two groups.

Last but not least, the video below will show you more things to do in Belfast if you are willing to make a trip over there !

The Troubles - Examples of violent events and protests

22octobre

As far as this document is concerned, you were separated into five groups and had to find information about one specific event that took place during the Troubles.
The events were:
- Belfast Rioting
- McGurk's Bar Bombing
- Ballymurphy Massacre (also nicknamed Belfast Bloody Sunday)
- Hunger Strikes
- the Shankill Butchers' murders

Once this activity done, you had to ask questions to members of other groups about their events in order to be able to fill in the grid you were previously given in class.

You will find below the five texts and the empty grid, and a song by a band called the Decemberists entitled "The Shankill Butchers".

The Troubles in Northern Ireland - Timeline and texts

22octobre

You will find as annex documents the timeline / chronology of the major steps of the Troubles that took place in Northern Ireland between 1968 and 1998.

The toolbox will help you understand a few words and notions related to the Troubles and the different actors that took part in / partook in it.

I don't ask you to know by heart / by rote all these events, yet some are crucial to understand the evolution of the Troubles, why the period turned out so violent and why the demonstrators / protesters became so agitated:
- the Civil Rights Movement in 1967
- the Activation of the Internment Law in 1971
- Bloody Sunday in 1972
- Direct Rule in 1972
- The Good Friday Agreement in 1998.

You must be able to define and explain what happened for these five events.

You will also find below BBC's 2002 documentary film entitled Bloody Sunday which I advise / recommend you to watch. It faithfully illustrates how the 1972 tragic event in Derry occurred and how the issue was dealt with from a political point of view.

Belfast sights

25septembre

Dear students ,

Let me remind you of your homework for next time (which is also to be found on Pronote):

WRITTEN PRODUCTION: You work for Belfast's tourist office. Your boss asked you to write a paragraph (70-80 words) on a precise sight to visit in Belfast. Do it on a sheet of paper, not on your copybook!

To help you do it, you can take a look at the Powerpoint presentation I attached and search for information on the Internet. But don't you dare copy/paste content directly !
