50 Years of Earth Day

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day marches to support the environmental movement. Like so many events in 2020, the marches and events planned to mark the anniversary on 22 April will have to become virtual. But these videos of 50 Voices for Earth Day, from age 8 to 80, from around the world can allow your pupils think about the Earth even in lockdown.

Edward Hopper: Telling Stories

Evocative American painter Edward Hopper was to be the subject of an exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland this spring. But since visitors can't go to the museum, the museum can come to them online. Hopper's paintings are wonderful jumping off points for creative writing, or, as film director Wim Wenders explains, for imagining unmade films.

Feelgood Music

Music has great power to inspire us and lift our mood. Which we could all do with a bit of at the moment. We were trying to think of work to set pupils at home that was positive and good for the soul: what better than a little soul music? So here is the first in a series of resources on feelgood songs. In this case, Nina Simone and her version of "Feeling Good".

Outils pour le confinement : élèves aux besoins éducatifs particuliers

Enseigner à distance est déjà un défi. Enseigner à des élèves aux besoins éducatifs particuliers peut sembler d'autant plus difficile. Heureusement les enseignants dans ce domaine utilisent déjà avec leurs élèves de nombreux outils qui peuvent s'avérer utiles pendant le confinement. En faisant le tour des sites académiques, nous avons trouvé plusieurs pistes différentes : L'équipe de l'Ecole inclusive de l'académie de Nancy Metz a mis en ligne un document spécifique avec des conseils pou r assurer la continuité pédagogique pour des élèves aux BEP . Il contient des liens vers des padlets avec des suggestions pour les enseignants d'EBEP en général, et un autre spécifiquement pour les enseignants d'élèves autistes, des conseils spécifiques pour aider les élèves avec peu ou pas d'accès aux outils numériques et le cas concret du blog d'une classe avec son emploi du temps d'une journée. Renaud Taillard nous a déjà présenté l'utilisation des TICE au service des langues dans des dispositifs ULIS. Pendant le confinement, ces outils deviennent les supports principaux de la continuité pédagogique. Chaque semaine, ou épisode, a un programme de matières variées , dont l'anglais, grâce aux C@psulis, petites vidéos avec des avatars animés préparées par les enseignants et les élèves.

Watch UK's National Theatre Productions at Home!

One of the nice results of the current lockdown, from an audience point of view, is that the UK's National Theatre is going to be making selected shows available for a week at a time on YouTube. The National Theatre has announced a show a week for the month of April. They are filmed shows that are usually shown in cinemas. They will go live at 8 p.m. French time every Thursday, and be available for a week on demand. A couple of them could be particularly interesting for your older students. You can view the plays on the National's YouTube channel . For more information visit the NT site , but you may have to queue to get on due to high demand. Thursday 2 April : 'One Man, Two Guvnors ' A modern adaptation, set in 1950's England, of a Goldoni commedia del arte play, "The Servant of Two Masters." Starring James Corden as Francis Henshall, erstwhile skiffle musician who is now working for an East End hoodlum (or rather the hoodlum's sister in disguise), as well as the sister's fiancé. A classic comedy of disguise and mistaken identity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pcJM1Z3Trfo Thursday 9 April : 'Jane Eyre' A modern, feminist and post-colonial reimagining of Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=64&v=ZVW5bO5wvbw&feature=emb_logo Thursday 16 April : 'Treasure Island' Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate story of murder, money and mutiny, but this time the hero, young Jim Hawkins in the innkeeper's granddaughter. https://youtu.be/04HhlbFGq1M Thursday 23 April 'Twelfth Night' Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite what they seem, anything proves possible in Shakespeare's classic comedy. Starring Tamsin Greig as Malvolia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQXb-csPsAA

Banksy in Venice

This short video by Banksy is a great addition to Shine Bright 2de SnapFile 8 Will you get Banksy-ed?. Like the prank studied in the file, when a Banksy work that had just been sold at auction disappeared into a shredder at the bottom of the frame, it questions the art market and what is considered "art". It was the street-artist's reaction to not being invited to the Venice Biennale, but also a comment on the large cruise ships that dominate the picturesque city and pollute its lagoon in the name of "cultural" tourism.

Judy Garland

Judy Garland was a child singing star and a global star of stage and screen. Her starring role in The Wizard of Oz at 17 made her a household name. A new film stars Renée Zellweger playing Garland in the final year in her short life, when stardom and the Hollywood studio system had taken their toll. Like so many stars whose public image was moulded by the studios in Hollywood, Garland's real life was far from the glamour that made the covers of magazines. She was born Frances Ethel Gumm in 1922 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Her parents were both vaudeville artists, and ran a vaudeville theatre, so the young Frances was on stage as soon as she could walk. She had an excellent singing voice and by age 10 was a child star, receiving rave reviews in Variety magazine. Soon after, she adopted the stage name Judy Garland. At age 13, she signed a contract with MGM, the biggest Hollywood studio. It was The Wizard of Oz that made her name internationally. The perennial favourite film has been seen by more people than any other in Hollywood history and "Over the Rainbow" became Garland's signature song and a jazz standard. Garland played Dorothy, an orphan, who is blown away in a tornado and finds herself in the magical Land of Oz, in glitzy Technicolor. Dorothy's quest to return home to Kansas will lead her to help a tin man, a cowardly lion and a scarecrow find what they most want in the world. https://youtu.be/i2zdYIF5DAY Garland was awarded a special miniature Oscar for “outstanding performance by a screen juvenile” for the role. Don't miss the televised lycée class on reading comprehension around a letter to Judy Garland. #continuitéPédagogique Judy The new film is set in 1969. Garland has gone through four marriages. She has a daughter, Liza Minelli, and two younger children from her marriage with Sidney Luft. The film shows her broke and struggling with depression, touring to sing in London to try to provide for her children. Zellweger loved the possibility of having an in-depth look at Garland's life, rather than the wide fresco of a traditional biopic. "I thought there was an opportunity to explore something that isn't often considered when you're thinking about this larger than life personality - what it was that she delivered in her work and what it cost her. This was a period in her life when she was working because she needed to work, but physically needed to rest. Her voice, the thing that gives her value and self-worth, is also the thing that she's destroying in order to be able to take care of her children." https://youtu.be/iJ4mU3oQW3g
