Hey!

Today, you corrected your homework:

The Nation Riffle Association (NRA) is an American nonprofit organization which promotes gun bearing / is pro gun bearing.

In 1871, the NRA was founded.

The beginning of the USA dates back to 1776.

The second amendment, written in 1791, can be found in the  US Constitution:

It’s about the right to carry guns because at that time, there was no police / no army, so they needed a militia / so people had to defend themselves.

Nowadays the 2nd Amendment is outdated: it has expired . It’s not necessary anymore.

Here are pro-guns videos made by the NRA:

Then, you studied a new document entitled 'Boy Guilty of Shooting his Mother'.

Here is what you said about it:

The mother may have punished him, so he may have taken his revenge and shot her.
The boy and his mother were arguing about chores/housework.
His mother was violent because she had slapped him.
So the murder was premedidated/ intentional
So the boy shot his mother on purpose.

Hey!

Today, you started with the recap of the lesson.

Then, you corrected your homework and your summaries in French.

Here are pro-guns videos made by the NRA:

Here is a possible summary:

Il s’agit d’une fausse émission de télé-achat.

Dans ce document, deux présentateurs enthousiasmés vantent les qualités d’un fusil d’assaut (AK 47) qui a connu plus de 75 guerres, afin de convaincre les téléspectateurs d’appeler pour l’acheter.

Dans un premier temps, les clients qui se manifesteront au cours de la première se verront offrir un cadeau pour tout achat d’un fusil : ils auront droit à un an de munitions / balles gratuites. Il est possible de régler l’achat en liquide, en dollars provenant de comptes off-shore / à l’étranger, et même en diamants. De plus, le présentateur assure qu’il n’y a pas d’inquiétude à avoir car tout est parfaitement légal.

Le ton du document est ironique car il s’agit d’une fausse émission. L’humour noir est aussi présent, car le sujet des armes et de la violence sont traités avec légèreté.

Then, you studied a new document entitled 'Boy Guilty of Shooting his Mother'.

Here is what you said about it:

The boy murdered/shot/killed his mother because :

- his mother had beaten and had yelled at him / had slapped him.

- just before, they were arguing about chores / housework.
