Hello everyone,

Last week, you had a creative writing task to do about Hopper's painting and a story related to it.

After that, we started a new 'sequence' based on space exploration.

Thursday, April 6^th

(the sixth)

Correction of the test: Nighthawks, E. Hopper

Ex1: puzzle: match and complete:

a)          The painting is entitled Nighthawks. (add 2 words)

b)         This painting is an oil canvas/painting. (add 3 words)

c)           You can see this painting at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Ex2: correction:

a)          On the right, there is a diner. (2)

b)         The painting was created by Hopper. (3)

c) The scene takes place in a city at night. (3)

Sequence: .........................................

Document 1: a photo/an advert

On the photo we can see a man.

We think that he is model, a singer or a

football player.

He has an original hairstyle. We imagine the

stars in his hair represent/symbolize the US flag or a pop music band.

In the bottom right-hand corner, we can read the letters “JPL”. We guess the letters stand for an advertisement company, the name of a music band or the initials of the man’s name.

A full-page ad job offer

Actually, the stars in the man’s hair represent space because we can read the words “science fiction,” “wonder” in the slogan.

This document is a job offer for NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in Pasadena, California.
