A checklist for correction

the use of the present: be + Ving when describing an action that takes place right now!

What about negation: the use of auxiliaries... he does not look happy/ boys cannot practice ballet  
the first situation/photo 1=a
Do not use the following adjectives: good, bad, nice and big!
Check your use of the possessive : 's/ ' :in people's lives
"il y a ..." et pas " c'est": there is + singular/ there are + plural
activities: practicing ballet/ boxing/ training/ bringing up a child
NO abbreviations: this is not a dialogue !!!!

Only one modal: she will can say
Be careful: to help do sth
careful with prepositions:different from/interested in/to confide in/ to depend on/difficult to do sth/ to be different from s.o./ at the age of...

Nouns have articles and be careful with the plural:
a girl=> little girls/ an outsider=> outsiders/ woman=> women
the difference between verbs: to concentrate and adjectives:concentrated/ focused and nouns: teenage girls/ fast food restaurants/ junior high school not the same as high school junior(s)
the difference between: look after/ look at/ look for/ look like/ look +adj

You cannot translate French phrases: "tomber enceinte"
Do not forget: Vs in the present tense, 3rd person singular: she speaks to s.o. about sth
Juno is not a teenage mother yet: she is pregnant!
remember: s.o. wants to do sth/ s.o. wants s.o. else to do sth
comparative of equality: as + adj+ as/ the same.... as
Last but not least: to think: the verb         a thing: the noun

Work on standing out ! Wassef

in the picture A , there are two teenage girls who eat and drink coca-coola in high-school and she  .the girl who is pregnant must confide in her friend about his baby. If she have to keep the baby and be a teenage mother or if she must have an abortion.
In the picture B , there a old man and a woman who are in a boxing ring. The woman must be girl boxe and she must be concentrate. The man must advise the woman for the match. The man maybe the woman's dad.

in the picture A, the teenage girl is pregnant 
in the picture B, there is a girl who doing the boxing.

Work on Standing Out ! Edgar.

1 ) Describe each picture briefly : place , characters , situation.. :

A - There are two girls. They are eating in high-school because we can see they have a tray on their knees and they are in front of the flag of the sport team. One of them is pregnant. They eat a fast food. They are young. Maybe the pregnant girl confides.

B - We can see a man and a woman in a boxing ring.Behind we see the fans. The man is old and the woman is young. They are concatrated on the upcoming combat. She is confident and determined.

C - Wee can see a young boy dancing with five other girls. They are ballet dancers. These girls are wearing a tutu. They are all ten years old.

2 ) Explain in what way these people are outsiders.. :

A - It is rare to see a pregnant girl who are so young. She can become a teenage mother.

B - It is rare to see a girl boxing. It is rather a sport of man.

C - It is rare to see a boy ballet. Usually it is rather the girls who dance ballet.

3 ) How do you react to each situation ? :

 A ) I am choked to see a young pregnant girl. I think she is not aware of what she does. It is hard to bring up a child when you study. She should be have an abortion.

B ) I think that's a good thing to see a girl boxing , it is original.

C ) This picture is funny. On my opinion the boy is ridicule.

Thibault work about the movies

1) A-
They are two girls. They are teenagers. I think they are in the canteen because they are eating.
The girl on the middle will become a teenage mother because she is pregnant. Maybe she will abandon his child or she will have an abortion but as for me she will bring up his child. So I think it is a picture of Juno. The main character of this movie is Juno and is played by Ellen Page.
    B-
t's an old man, Clint Eastwood, who is speaking to a young girl. She practices boxing and she is in a match. Maybe the old man is his coach. The girl seem determined and confident. She is very concentrate for this match. In the backgroud we can see a lot of people. So I think this movie is Million Dollar Baby.The mains characters is Frankie and Maggie Fitzgerald are played by Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swan
   C-
On this picture , it's a little boy who dancing. On the background we can see girls who dancing with their tutu. He is practicing ballet. So I think it is a picture of Billy Elliot. Billy is the main character .


2)
This people are strange because on the picture one, a teenager is pregnant . On the picture two a girl practices boxing and in the picture three a boy dances the classical danse.
 
3)
 
The picture A is shocking because it is strange to see a pregnant teenager.

The picture B is amazing because the two people are determined to win.

The picture C is funny because it is unusual to see a boy who is practicing ballet.

I think it is difficult for them to fit in the society.



Soumare Fenda :Standing out

Today I will describe three pictures of three different film:
           On the first pictures we can see two teenagers girl a high school junior : she are eating in their school canteen because I can see a flag school.We can also see one of the girl is pregnant,she is confide on her friend.this situation is very frequent in own day because girl will be studied and look after the baby.

Sarah's Work about: Standing Out

1/ Describe each picture briefly : place, characters, situation...


On picture A , we can see two teenagers who are maybe eating in a fast-food restaurant. Their manner of dress shows that they are teenagers. One of them is pregnant. In the background, we see a flag with three colors but i don't know what it corresponds.


On picture B, we can see a teenager sporting themselves with his father or his coach. The girl sweats, I think they are competing because I see world in the background and the girl is on a boxing ring.


On picture C, We can see a young man in the foreground and five girls in the background. They are practise ballet dancing. This is evident because they wear clothes ballet dance (tutu).


2/ Explain in what way these people are outsiders.


We can notice that on picture A the girl is too young to be pregnant, on picture B the young girl is competitive boxer while this sport is male dominated, and boy on picture C is a ballet dancer while this sport is rather feminine. This proves that they are not like other youth. They are outsiders.


3/ How do you react to each situation


Picture A: I think that the girl is too young to be pregnant. Moreover, she eats bad food and it's bad for the unborn child.

Picture B: I think it's good because there are not many girls boxer. And she can win a prize.

Picture C: I think it's infrequent to see a boy who practise ballet. However, it must be nice to watch...
