Learn the lesson of Friday, 14^th 

Hello everyone,

Today, we talked about Aron's video in four steps.

Here is what you said and what we wrote:

Friday, October 14th

(the fourteenth)

Aron’s conference: Video part 2

Aron said: “It is the worst pain I will ever experience in my life”.

While he was cutting his arm, he never cried, he never said “Aw!” and he never shed a tear.

All he could think about was seeing his family again.

This narrative is quite/rather optimistic because he got free / he got out / he survived.

At the end I presented you the instructions for the final task to come.

We'll continue next time!

Homework: learn the important elements from the lesson 

Hello everyone,

This morning, we started watching a video of Aron's conference. 

This was after the flashtest you had.

- to give up: abandonner

- to get out: sortir

- that was it => this is it: c'est la fin

rescue: les secours

get free: se libérer

stop fighting: arrêter de se battre

HOMEWORK: learn the vocabulary

Hello everyone,

With your groups, we worked on imaginary situations dealing with Aron's story.

Then, we talked about the title of the film: 127 hours of... ?
