Séquence Asians in Britain

As I can't manage to compress any video in a format light enough to post on the web, I at least have found a transcript of the video Bend it Like Beckham.

War films

Following Keurtsing's request, here a few stills from "First Blood" and "Inglorious Bastards" (the choixe of images doesn't really matter, considering that the words spoken are more telling).
Concerning "We were soldiers", considering the duration of the trailer, I think it's best that students choose the images that THEY find appropriate and relevant to their dossiers. Usually, to capture an image on PC, you just need to press the key "Impr écran système" on your keyboard, then open any drawing application (Paint, for example) and then paste the image you captured (and finally, save it).
Here is the link to the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6l9dKnlMhU

Foreword

Dear students and fledglings,

As your mock oral exam is drawing near, it might not be useless to start sharing some ideas about the 4 notions of the cultural programme.

Founding actions and worlds on the move
- myths and heroes
- seats and forms of power
- spaces and exchanges
- the concept of progress

Of course you are strongly encouraged to compose your dossier personally, because after all you will be alone to present and discuss it on D-day. Nevertheless, you may want to exchange and discuss some ideas, remarks, questions or anything about some of the documents that you worked on in class - whether with your favourite male English teacher or the other chicks - in order to develop your ideas.

This page is yours to use and is divided into 4 sections, each corresponding to one notion of the cultural programme. Feel free to post, comment, reply... my only requirement being that this should be done seriously and with courtesy. If this is about organising a bloody couscous party, please consider changing your perspectives for the future. For my part, I don't plan on wasting time moderating a schoolyard forum, but on giving you advice and recommendations in order to help you succeed. Period.

Please also remember that this is a written blog, but your exam around the 4 notions is an oral exam. Active presence on this forum CANNOT substitute for active oral preparation for that examination.

Best regards,

B. Baudin

Suite à questions similaires, je vais m'avancer à une hypothèse que je crois la plus plausible, mais à relativiser tout de même vu le manque de précision de nos instances supérieures:
Si vous prenez 2 documents tirés du même chapitre pour illustrer la même notion (ex Archie Roach + Time sur la stolen génération), vous risquez de cloisonner la discussion sur la notion autour d'une seule thématique et risquez par conséquent d'avoir du mal à tenir les 20 mn d'entretien. Par ailleurs, le texte officiel dit bien qu'il s'agit de justifier vos choix ayant présidé à la constitution du dossier, i.e. en quoi les choix que vous avez fait permettent d'aborder sous différents angles possibles la notion d'espaces et échanges. Je vous encouragerais donc davantage à choisir vos documents parmi des chapitres divers et, à partir de là, réfléchir à une problématique / dialectique si je puis utiliser ce terme qui vous permettent d'aborder la notion sous plusieurs aspects (contradictoires, complémentaires, etc).
