Les bases

24août

Dear students,

In the annex below you'll find attached a digital version of the document entitled "LES BASES" that I gave you in class on the very first day.

English class contract and rules

24août

You'll find attached (in the annex below) a copy of the contract and rules you'll have to follow in English for the whole school year.

Game of Creatures

22août

Dear all,

As I do enjoy fostering your competitiveness as much as your team spirit, let me explain how this whole-new school year is going to turn out for you.

By virtue of the teacher's authority vested in me...  I will sort you into one of the four teams, named after and emblematized by badass mythological creatures, namely:

- the fierce and ruthless WEREWOLVES

- the daring and fearsome DRAGONS

- the wise and powerful PHOENIXES

- the cunning and guileful KRAKENS 

Similarly to Hogwarts' system of house points in the Harry Potter universe, you'll be given - and possibly withdrawn (if you misbehave) - team points after successfully doing some activities and exercises in class. The winning team will be the one who manages to get the biggest number of points at the end of the school year!

May the best team win !

 

Welcome to Mr PHILIPPOT's English class !

22juillet

Dear all,

Welcome to my English class!
I sincerely hope you will spend a mind-blowing year with me as your teacher, as I'm sure you will get yourselves to work if you want to succeed and improve your level of English.

Right below you will find a video displayed in big that I made to introduce the rules you'll have to respect in my class. 

Watch it carefully ! 

 

 

 

The Autocomplete Truth

25mai

Watch the video below until 1.00 and get ready to:

1°) Memorize each year with the corresponding comment.
2°) Make hypotheses about what every single event to explain what each comment could refer to (Use the structure S + MODAL + BV).

 


Finally, watch the end of the video and explain the type of document it is (what is its function?) and the message it conveys.

Billy Elliot - "Not for lads"

19mai

This is the scene from Billy Elliot that we watched in class after you described the film poster

What are the similarities and differences you can notice with the first scene from Bend It Like Beckham that we studied in class?
 

Billy Elliot - Film poster

19mai

Dear students,


In class, I will show you one of the official posters made for the film Billy Elliot, starring Jamie Bell & Julie Walters and directed by filmmaker Stephen Daldry.


Your task consists in describing it to your neighbour (who will not get to see the picture) as precisely as possible, in English. Your neighbour will jot down notes to be able to report what you will have told him/her in English. Later on we'll study one of the scenes from the film.
