Hey!

Today was a bit exceptionnal because the other group was supposed to have class yesterday, that's why we did a 'different' activity today.

Remember the video document with the kids? You laughed when they were not able to recognize Jesus for example, but would be better at this guessing game?

The winner was Inès! Well done!

Hey!

Today, our expert, Bastien, spoke about gun regulations in the US.

Then, you watch a video document: What about gun regulations in this state? Are they strict enough?.

Here is what you said about it:

• Michigan is a shall-issue state because he has to do a background check / to take a test / to fill in a form: they ask if he is involved in crimes / if he has a criminal reccord, if he is mentally normal, and if he is Caucasian.
• The regulations are not strict enough/ efficient, because you just have to open an account to get a free gun. They encourage American people to carry a gun: it's too easy to get a gun. In addition, you can lie on the form.

Hey!

Today, our expert, Marie, spoke about gun regulations in the US.

Then, thanks to the video, you focused on Michigan.

Here is what you said about it:

Michigan is a shall-issue state because :

-the man doesn't need a good cause to bear a gun.

-he has to take a test (background check). It consists in filling in/completing a form : he mentions his race and that he's not mentally defective.

Gun regulations aren't efficient because :

-nobody can prove he says the truth.

-it's too easy to get a gun: he gets a free gun after he opened an account.

-there is no police control : a bank clerk gives the gun.

Hey!

First of all, you analysed the ad, as a recap.

To conclude on this document , you gave your personal opinion: did you find the strategies efficient? / convincing?

Here is what you said:

Methawat thinks the colour blue and the tiger attract boys WHEREAS the gift is for girls SO/CONSEQUENTLY, it's not logical.
The stratégies are not EFFICIENT/ CONVINCING/WORKING.
Nermina doesn't agree with Methawat because the tiger and the Barbie radio attract BOTH boys and girls.

Hey!

Today, you started the lesson with the presentation of a strange sport.

You studied a new unusual sport in detail:

Here is what you said about it:

Wife carrying

Wife carrying consists in carrying a woman on the back / running a 278 yard race.

It is a collective sport because there are teams of 2 / couples.

The objective is to cross the finish line first and to go through obstacles as fast as possible.
