Very little work this week due to the conseils and the euphoria of the last few days at school. I was a bit disappointed in not seeing the 1S, please forgive my absentmindedness, but I had to attend the conseil of the 5th form on Wednesday so could not see you.
Do have a nice holiday and work on your English where ever you may be!
As for the fifth formers I hope you will come back next year ready for what ever section you have chosen!

We worked arould Australia this week talking about how the country was colonised by British convicts and settlers then about their bad treatment of the natives. The stolen generation was evoked. I suggested you watch Rabbit Proof Fence, or Australia, to give you an idea of the country and past history.
I gave you a text extracted from My Place by Sally Morgan. Enjoy!

Welcome back! Yes we hadn't seen each other for a good few weeks, so sorry about that but you will understand better next year when it's your turn.
So we finished working on Michael Moore's film and the chronological order of the events which confirm, according to him, the culture of fear of the Americans and their need for guns.
Afterwards we started checking over the Guardian artile about the documentary film. We'll finish this off next time.
On Wednesday we had the honour of meeting a member of the American Embassy who came to talk to us about civil rights in the USA. Her talk was very interesting, sincere because of her own personal background and optimistic. Thank you for having shared this time with us and opening our eyes to certain experiences which you and your family have experienced at firsthand.
We will pick this up again next week.
Don't forget, however that I promised you a debate about the bearing of arms in the USA. We'll discuss this again in our double period on Monday.
