  • Avant-propos

    En cette période de réflexion pédagogique autour des objectifs fixés par la réforme du col-lège, nous vous proposons dans ce cahier des séquences de travail autour des notions cultu-relles des nouveaux programmes. Voici les lignes directrices qui nous ont guidés pour vous apporter, ainsi qu’à vos élèves, de nouveaux outils, de nouvelles pratiques et de nouvelles idées d’activités :

    - L’importance de vous proposer des tâches finales variées et motivantes pour réaffirmer l’utilité de la démarche actionnelle, pour donner du sens aux apprentissages. Cette démarche de projet sera d’ailleurs généralisée à toutes les disciplines à la rentrée 2016, notamment dans les Enseignements Pratiques Interdisciplinaires ;

    - La volonté d’ancrer le travail de la langue dans un contexte culturel fort, dans une réalité sociale, historique et culturelle spécifique aux pays anglophones. Les objectifs culturels des nouveaux programmes de langue, les programmes d’EMC, les thèmes d’EPI, ainsi que les trois parcours ont guidé nos choix pour permettre les croisements entre disciplines et faciliter les transferts ;

    - La conviction que les élèves doivent devenir des partenaires dans la construction de leurs compétences. Dans cette optique, nous proposons des activités d’explicitation des processus d’apprentissage telles qu’elles pourront être mises en œuvre dans les séances d’Accompagnement personnalisé. Les encadrés Learn as You Wish mettent fréquemment les élèves en situation de choix de la démarche ou de l’activité qui leur semble la plus adaptée, ou la plus attrayante. En effet, apprendre progressivement à connaître ses modes d’apprentissage est un élément clé de l’acquisition de l’autonomie ;

    - Enfin, nous vous suggérons d’avoir recours, notamment lors de présentations devant la classe, à des activités d’auto- et d’inter-évaluation pour encourager l’évaluation formative entre pairs.

    Les séquences ne sont volontairement pas numérotées. Nous espérons que vous pourrez vous servir des éléments qui conviennent le mieux à vos élèves et vos cours, au moment propice.

    Pour les activités de pair work et group work, les activités pupil B ou group B se retrouvent sur les dernières pages du cahier. Les pages sont signalées dans la séquence.

  • Les trois parcours des nouveaux programmesDans les nouveaux programmes, les apprentissages s’inscrivent dans 3 parcours qui donnent du sens aux apprentissages :

    Le parcours citoyen Parcours

    citoyen fait des élèves des personnes responsables.

    Le parcours artistique Parcours

    artistique sensibilise les élèves à toutes les formes d’art.

    Le parcours avenir Parcours

    avenir permet de préparer son orientation professionnelle.

    La 3e est la 3e année du cycle 4 instauré par les nouveaux programmes de la réforme des collèges applicables à partir de la rentrée 2016. Ce cycle regroupe les classes de 5e, 4e et 3e.

    En anglais LV1, en fin de cycle 4, tous les élèves doivent avoir atteint le niveau A2 dans les 5 activités langagières et le niveau visé est B1 dans plusieurs activités langagières. En anglais LV2, en fin de cycle 4, le niveau visé est A2 dans au moins deux activités langagières.

    with your company for a week, from the seventh to the twelfth of March.

    I am 15 and a student at Richmond School.

    I am in 10th grade.

    I would like to work at your restaurant because I am interested in a career

    as a chef.

    I have not cooked professionally before , but I cook all the time at home and try

    to learn new recipes and techniques all the time.

    I am studying Food Technology for GCSE. I have a part-time job helping in a

    flower shop on Saturdays. My personal interests are cooking and travelling and I’m

    part of a basketball team.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Yours sincerely

    Elementary, Pages 9-14 + 75 My Dear Watson!LangagesSir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories were an immediate success. The detective counted so many fans that when he eventually died at the end of one of the stories, Conan Doyle received letters of complaint from frustrated readers, and was soon obliged to resurrect his beloved character. The books have been translated all around the world and have inspired countless TV, film and theatre adaptations, parodies and spinoffs. This sequence will enable students to learn more about the famous detective and to take part in an inquiry themselves.

    Elementary, Pages 9-14 + 75 My Dear Watson!Page 14 Role Cards for Your Task

    DetectiveYou are a detective and have been asked to help in this case.Get ready to ask the different suspects questions (alibis, where they were, dis-tance from the manor, precise timing…). Take notes and draw your conclusions. At the end, if you need to question some suspects again to obtain some more de-tails, you will be allowed an extra two questions per suspect.

    1

    Mr Hopkins You are the murderer! You killed Lord Spencer because he refused to give you a raise, and you stole the money and jewel-lery because you had the code for the safe.You followed Lady Spencer to the cinema at 7:30 pm because you knew she would meet her lover, Mr Higgins. You also knew Mr Higgins had an appointment with Lord Spencer, so he would leave before the end of the film. Lady Spencer loves detective stories, so you also knew she would stay until the end – a good opportunity to say hello to her and give yourself an alibi! You took a ticket and watched the begin-ning of the movie (Sherlock Holmes). At 8:15 pm, you sneaked out of the cinema and went back to the manor, stabbed Lord Spencer in the kitchen at 8:30 and ran back to the cinema.You’ve had problems with the butler, Mr Green, who hasn’t always been nice to you… He could be a good suspect: he was in love with Lady Spencer and Lord Spen-cer wanted to disinherit her and ask for a divorce. You saw Mr Green had a scar on his face!

    3

    Lady SpencerYou were at the cinema with your lover, Mr Higgins, your husband’s lawyer, but you don’t want to reveal or discuss your love affair unless you or your lover are accused. The film (Sherlock Holmes) started at 7:30 pm and finished 1h30 later.At the end of the film, you met Mr Hop-kins, your husband’s secretary. He had been watching the same film. Fortunately, Mr Higgins had left 5 minutes before the film ended so he wouldn’t be late for his appointment with your husband at 9:00. The cinema is just a 5-minute walk from the manor.You are convinced Miss Thompson killed your husband. You remember you saw blood on a pullover she was about to wash.

    2

    Mr HigginsYou were at the cinema with Lady Spencer, your lover, but you don’t want to reveal or discuss your love affair unless you or your lover are accused. The film (Sherlock Holmes) started at 7:30 pm and finished 1h30 later, but you left 5 minutes before the film ended so you wouldn’t be late for your appointment with Lord Spencer at 9. The cinema is just a 5-minute walk from the manor. Officially, you left your office at 8:30 pm, normally it’s a 15-minute drive to the ma-nor, but with the traffic it can be more.You arrived on time but nobody answered the bell. You pushed the front door open, saw Mr Green preparing drinks in the living room and asked him where to wash your hands. You discovered Lord Spencer’s body in the kitchen at 9:00. You never liked the butler, because people say he is also having an affair with Lady Spencer. She has always denied it. He had a strange scar on his face tonight.

    Elementary, Pages 9-14 + 75 My Dear Watson!

    Miss ThompsonAfter work, at 8 pm, you went up to your room and started watching Coronation Street. At 8:15, you realised your cat Kitty wasn’t in the room and saw her perched in a tree in the garden. You went out and immediately found Mr Green who offered to help you. Poor Mr Green got a scratch from Kitty! All this took a good half hour because when you came back to your room with Kitty, your programme was finished, so it was well after 8:45 pm.Then you realised you had blood on your pullover: there was blood on Kitty’s paws, so she probably got hurt somewhere. You were changing when you heard people shouting about Lord Spencer’s death.The truth is, you’re not sorry he’s dead. He wanted to dismiss you… Anyway, you never liked the job here!You have no idea who the murderer can be: Lady Spencer was out at the cinema, Mr Green was with you… you don’t know where Mr Hopkins was.

    5 Mr GreenYou were busy with your work when Miss Thompson asked you for help to get that horrible cat… Your face still hurts from the scratch the beast gave you! You don’t know what time it was, but it took you away from your work, so you were late preparing drinks for Lord Spencer in the living room before Mr Higgins arrived. You didn’t hear the doorbell, so you were surprised when you saw him arriving in the living room and asking to wash his hands. You showed him into the kitchen. You heard Mr Higgins screaming and shouting for help when he discovered the body at 9:00.You’ve never liked Mr Hopkins who you be-lieve is a rogue. You didn’t like his manners or arrogance.You are fond of Lady Spencer, but she is your employer’s wife, and you would never dare doing anything wrong that would da-mage either her reputation or his.

    Sherlock ExtractJohn Watson: We don’t know a thing about each other. I don’t know where we’re meeting. I don’t even know your name.

    Sherlock Holmes: I know you’re an Army doctor, and you’ve been invalided home from Afghanistan. I know you’ve got a brother who’s worried about you, but you won’t go to him for help because you don’t approve of him, possibly because he’s an alcoholic, more likely because he recently walked out on his wife, and I know that your therapist thinks your limp’s psychosomatic – quite correctly, I’m afraid. That’s enough to be going on with, don’t you think? The name’s Sherlock Holmes, and the address is 221-B Baker Street. Afternoon.

    Elementary, Pages 9-14 + 75 My Dear Watson!

    An Interview about Sherlock HolmesYou are going to hear an interview with an expert on the Sherlock Holmes books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. First, she explains why Conan Doyle chose 221-B Baker Street as Sherlock Holmes’s address.In those days it was a respectable, middle-class, not too expensive, not too cheap residential street, and a very good place for a detective to live.

    Conan Doyle himself was a doctor. Dr Watson in the stories is a doctor. Is he based partly on Conan Doyle himself?Actually Holmes and Watson are based partly on Conan Doyle himself. They’re different aspects of the same character. Although everybody always says that Sherlock Holmes was based on Dr Joseph Bell, who was Conan Doyle’s medical professor in Edinburgh. In Sherlock Holmes, you see Dr Joseph Bell’s diagnosis method. He could look at a patient and decide whether he’d been in the army. He could tell from the work clothes he was wearing what trade he had. I think that sort of thing was easier in those days. These days, whatever your trade is, you spend all your life typing into a computer.

    Volunteering Pages 15-20 in the Peace CorpsRencontres avec d’autres culturesIn the late 1950s, the Soviet Union encouraged voluntary service overseas. Hundreds of scientists, doctors, nurses, teachers and engineers were sent abroad every year, thus increasing Soviet influence in the developing world. In these Cold War years, the situation demanded prompt American response – so in 1961, recently elected president J.F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps to counterbalance the growing Soviet influence. Although times have changed, the Peace Corps still exists today and still sends American volunteers overseas to provide humanitarian help and support, encourage economic development and promote peace and democracy. This sequence will enable pupils to discover this American agency through the testimony of Megan, a former Peace Corps volunteer.

    Volunteering Pages 15-20 in the Peace Corps

    Interview: A Peace Corps Volunteer Part 1American president John F. Kennedy created the Peace Corps in 1961. As a large group of civilian volunteers who go and work in developing countries, the Peace Corps is a good example of “soft power” strategy.

    Could you just introduce yourself, please?My name is Megan Larson-Koné. I am the public affairs officer at the U.S. mission to UNESCO.

    Could you just explain what Peace Corps is, in fact, simply.Peace Corps is the flagship volunteer organisation, international volunteer organisation in the United States. And its objective is… it has three objectives. One is to provide technical expertise to the local community where you are a volunteer; to show other communities about Americans, what Americans are, by seeing a real, live American in person in their community; and then the third one, which is really one of the most important goals, is to bring information back to the United States and to communities in the United States about where you’ve served and about the culture and way of life there. So it’s really — focuses on providing assistance, but very much so on cultural exchange.

    Part 2And can you explain your experience with Peace Corps?Sure, I was a Peace Corps volunteer in the West African country of Côte d’Ivoire. I was there from 2001 to 2002. The programme I was a Peace Corps volunteer in was called “Urban Environmental Management”, which is a fancy name for saying I worked on water and sanitation systems in a small town in the western part of that country. So in addition to working on water and sanitation, I had the opportunity to work with some local cooperatives, a women’s group and a village community group, to help them learn some small business skills so that they could better sell their products. They raised, they cultivated and grew agricultural products to sell in the local market, so we helped them to try and increase their sales. And I also had the opportunity to work on some awareness-raising on HIV and AIDS within the local community.

    The Globe Theatre Pages 21-27 + 76 LangagesThe aim of this sequence is to encourage students to go back in time and imagine themselves as theatre-goers in the Elizabethan period (16th century). Students will not only learn about the architectural features of The Globe Theatre, but also imagine the behaviour and attitude of audiences at the time and contrast it with theatre-going today.

    The Globe Theatre Pages 21-27 + 76

    Listening to a Guide Part 1Listen to Mel, a guide at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London.Shakespeare’s Globe was built in the reign of Elizabeth I, in 1599. It was built on the south bank of the Thames. Now, in those days, that area wasn’t the city of London. The city of London was the walled city on the north bank of the river, and it was full of restrictions and rules. They did not like you drinking alcohol or gambling. And they didn’t like many forms of popular entertainment. So those things came to the south bank. There were bear pits, arenas where you would have a bull or a bear tied down and they would let dogs attack them. And there are reports that the audience had their faces spattered with blood. It was very grim and very gruesome.

    Part 2Now we think of theatre as something quite cultural and educational. But in Shakespeare’s day, it was popular entertainment for everyone. The rich and the poor would go to the theatre. The audience would be noisy and rowdy. There would be eating and drinking, shouting to their friends. The audience would shout to the actors, they would cheer when the good guys came on stage. They would boo when the bad guys came on. If two people kissed, they would go “woo”! So it was a very different atmosphere inside. Much more like a football match or a rock concert. For the Puritans, the very strict Protestants at the time, acting was telling lies. You were telling lies to your audience. And that was another reason why theatre was immoral and came to the south side of the river. In Shakespeare’s day there were no actresses. All the parts were played by men. The female parts were played by tee-nage boys. Acting was a very immoral profession, so women would never have acted.

    Bullying Pages 28-34École et sociétéBullying is a serious problem that affects students all over the world. British and American schools are far ahead of their French counterparts in tackling the issue and have specific anti-bullying policies. Bullying is often triggered by differences — in looks, social status, sexual preferences, religion — but virtually anyone can be the target of bullies. Often, victims do not talk about it, and end up living with devastating consequences. Dealing with the issue in class will help pupils break down taboos.

    Interview: BullyingListen to this interview about a problem affecting many British teenagers.My name’s Matt May, and I work for the organisation ‘Beatbullying’.

    So, Matt, could you explain what cyberbullying is?Cyberbullying is when someone uses technology, for example the Internet or a mobile phone, to purposely intimidate or upset someone else. For example, if you’re experiencing cyberbullying, you may be receiving threatening text messages, upsetting emails or upsetting comments about you on a social networking site.

    And can you explain how big a problem it is, or isn’t?In the U.K., what we’ve found is one in three young people have experienced some kind of cyberbullying, so it is a really big problem at the moment. The age group is quite varied at the moment because people are starting to use technology like mobile phones or the Internet at a much younger age, so it is progressing to sort of go to the lower ages as well as secondary-school age.

    Could you give some suggestions for how children could avoid cyberbullying?Trying to keep yourself from getting involved in any part of that. For example, if someone does send you a text message about someone at your school, don’t forward it. Be the person that stops the trend and stops that continuing. You need to make sure that people are aware, so, talk to someone in your family, maybe a teacher at your school, or find support online from beatbullying.org.

Would you mind explaining… ?I didn’t understand… Can you speak a little more slowly, please? I didn’t have time to write that, can you repeat, please?

    Interview: Traditional Fish & Chips Part 1 Marian, why are fish and chips traditionally considered British?Fish and chip shops originated in Britain and the first one was recorded in London in 1860 at Tommyfield’s fishmarket in London and then the idea quickly spread all around England first to the north of England. The biggest fish and chip shop in England is actually in the north of England. It’s called Harry Ramsdens. And it can seat 250 customers at a time. And it has over a million customers a year.

    Part 2 The most common fish that is used is cod. And because of regulations in the U.K., fish and chips can’t be named just fish and chips, so you’ll often see it named “cod and chips”. The fish is dipped in batter. Batter is made from… like a thin paste of flour and water. So the fish is dipped in the batter and fried in deep oil until it’s very, very crispy. Some people put a little bit of beer in the batter, which makes it more crispy. And the chips are thick.

She was happy, I mean, excited to see Britain and especially to see her husband again. He left Jamaica just after they married, to look for work in Britain. And now he had a job and asked Lucile to join him.

    Lucile didn’t mind living in Jamaica, she was, you know, happy there. She only came to Britain because of her husband. She was a little, well, worried about what she would find. She knew Britain had suffered a lot in the war, World War Two. Her husband had a flat in Brixton, in London, but there were a lot of bomb sites all around still.

    Lucile and her husband had five children and she was happy living in Britain. When her husband died, she stayed in Britain, because all her children, and other family like cousins, live there.

What else is in the room?

It looks like one those dogs you can make with balloons. You know, at children’s parties.Person 2: Oh, yes. So, is it small?Person 1: No, it’s enormous! It’s three metres high. Person 2: And it’s made from giant balloons? Can I touch it, then?Person 1: No, it’s made of metal. Person 2: Metal?Person 1: Yes, blue, shiny, polished metal.Person 2: So, does it reflect things?Person 1: Yes! And it distorts them because it’s curved. I’m looking at my face – very strange. And if I move closer… Woah, even stranger!Person 2: And it really looks like a giant balloon dog?Person 1: Yes, if you had metallic balloons. It has all the details. The nose is the end of the balloon where you tie it closed. And the tail is the other end, where there isn’t much air, so it’s not really inflated.Person 2: I’m really curious now. I’m going to take off this blindfold so I can see it. Wow! It’s exactly as you described it. I want to see the effect on my face too if I go closer!

    War Horse Pages 61-65Page 64 - Activity 4 Synopsis

    Each pupil should receive one episode only.

    When I was only six months old, I was taken from my mother and sold at an auction to a farmer in Devon, Britain. The farmer’s son, Albert, named me Joey. He loved me and took care of me and we grew up together like bro-thers. He taught me to pull a plough and we lived peacefully until the war began and the farmer, who needed the money, sold me to the army. Albert was heartbroken and tried to get me back but it was impossible. He wasn’t even allowed to join the army to accompany me because he was only thirteen years old and so was too young. I was trained as a cavalry charger.

    Episode 1

    When the war started, I was taken to France in a boat and fought there in my first terrible battle on the Front. I led an assault over barbed wire. It was a nightmare, horses against guns. Many soldiers and horses were killed but I was captured and taken prisoner by the Germans. They treated me like a hero. In the day, I had to pull the ambulance carts, and at night I was looked after by an old French farmer and his granddaughter, Emily. Emily, whose mother and father and brother had been killed in the war, loved me dearly.

    Episode 2

    But it wasn’t to last. I was commandeered by a German artillery troop to pull their enor-mous canons into the heart of the battle. The conditions were appalling. I never had enough to eat and was always cold and injured and very scared. There was mud everywhere. A kind, old German soldier called Friedrich took care of me. The other soldiers thought that he was mad because he thought that the war was ridiculous with men killing other men because they wore different uniforms and spoke dif-ferent languages. I experienced shelling and when I saw tanks for the first time, I tried to run as far away as I could from the fighting.

    Episode 3

    But, unfortunately I found myself in No Man’s Land. I was caught between the two armies and trapped by barbed wire on either side. Eventually a German and a British soldier clim-bed out from their respective trenches. Bran-dishing white handkerchiefs, they approached me and stopped in front of each other. I stood between the two of them. The German soldier spoke basic English and so they were able to communicate. Who should have me? They de-cided to toss a coin. In doing so they demons-trated how any problem might be solved with trust. The British man won. As the two soldiers parted they wished each other luck in the for-thcoming battle. If they met again it would be as enemies.

    Episode 4

    And so I found myself back with the British forces. I was taken care of by the veterinary corps. There I was reunited with my oldest friend, Albert, who had joined up to find me. I worked pulling the veterinary wagon. Finally, peace was declared. There was little joy or celebration, only relief. We were all impatient to return home but the soldiers learnt that the horses were to be auctioned off in France. The soldiers donated enough money to buy me. But on the day of the auction, I was bought, not by a butcher, like most of the other horses, but by a French farmer. It turned out that it was Emily’s grandfather. Emily had died and he had bought me in memory of his granddaugh-ter. He happily sold me back to Albert for one pound.

    At last, four years later, I could return to En-gland where I spent the rest of my days peace-fully with my beloved Albert. I will never for-get all the people and horses who were killed during what is commonly called the War to end all Wars, a war in which over fifteen million men and eight million horses lost their lives.

    World War One VocabularyThe Allied trenches are on the left. The German-Austrian trenches are on the right. No Man’s Land is in the middle. Barbed wire protects the trenches on both sides. The soldiers are shooting rifles. One man in the foreground on the left has revolver. Helmets protect their heads. In the background, we can see explosions from artillery shells.

    Interview: War Horse Part 1Helena Stride of the Imperial War Museum in London summarises the story of War Horse, by Michael Morpurgo.Now War Horse is a story about a horse called Joey and his relationship with a boy called Albert. Joey is a horse that lives on a farm in Devon and when war breaks out, many horses were commissioned, sold on to the army, to act as either cavalry chargers or to be used in transportation on the Western Front.

    Joey gets sold to the Army and Albert is very upset about that, and although he is underage, he decides to join up as a soldier and try and find Albert on the Western Front. Meanwhile the story continues with Joey becoming a cavalry horse and the adventures and episodes of what happens to him as a cavalry horse and the various people that look after him and build up a rapport with him.

    Part 2Eventually, Joey gets captured by the German army and, basically, you see the other side of the situation from the German soldiers’ point of view as he becomes a transport horse for the German army. He then gets taken on, found, by French civilians, and he’s looked after in that situation. And eventually, after a great deal of suffering, Albert rediscovers him, and they are reunited.

    Michael Morpurgo felt that using the horse as the main protagonist was an opportunity to look at the war from both sides, from the British and German perspective, and having the horse as kind of the neutral element between the two.

    New York’s BoroughsStaten Island is an island in the south west.Next to Staten Island, on the east, is the borough of Brooklyn, only separated by a little water.Queens is the biggest borough. It is situated northeast of Brooklyn.West of Brooklyn and Queens is the famous borough of Manhattan, a long and narrow island.Finally, to the north of Manhattan is The Bronx.

    Listening to a New YorkerCould you just tell me your name and where you’re from?My name is Sarah Thein. I grew up in Jackson Heights in Queens.

    Okay, so Queens is one of the boroughs of New York, yeah?It’s one of the five boroughs. It’s the most populous and also the most diverse of the five and technically the largest, which nobody realizes. But I love Queens.

    Could you imagine living somewhere else?I’ve often imagined living somewhere else. Usually, Paris. Paris or Barcelona, maybe London, but New York is really my home.

    It’s interesting that other places you thought of, none of them were in the United States. They were all in Europe.Well, there is nowhere in the U.S. that really is quite like New York, in terms of diversity and how metropolitan it is.

    Do you actually feel like you’re a New Yorker or an American, first?Absolutely a New Yorker. No one else in my family was born in the States except for me. But I don’t think that we comfortably consider ourselves American, we’re more happy associating ourselves with Europe and the rest of the world.

    And so, what are you favourite things about New York?You know, there’s wonderful… there’s this level of culture that you can walk into everywhere, I mean, the city now especially is just covered with art galleries and street fairs and street art, and tons of restaurants, restaurants on every corner all filled with hopefully amazing food.
