Alors il n’y a que 22 jours jusqu’à notre départ en France!
Le jeudi, j’ai passé le jour à Wellington avec les autres ambassadeurs. C’était super de rencontrer tout le monde, finalement ! Je sais que nous nous amuserons bien ensemble en France.
En visitant Wellington, nous sommes allés à la Galerie des Portraits et Te Papa. Ils étaient très intéressants. I was particularly interested in ‘The Berry Boys’ exhibit, as seeing the 30 portraits of unknown Kiwi faces of World War One was a true...
Bonjour tout le monde!
Malheureusement Mai était un mois très occupe pour moi. J’ai eu beaucoup des activités de mon école et à cause de ça j’ai été très retard aven mon blog. Pardon à tous, et j’espère je suis plus de organise pour Juin !
Je veux un moment pour remercier le gentil peuple de ma communauté pour le support et la encouragement ils ont offert. En particulièrement je voudrais remercier La Cloche ; un café français de Wellington pour leur patronage. Ils ont été très généraux...
How can we integrate the project in our everyday teaching?
After receiving the attached collection of fictitious letters from soldiers to their loved ones and their replies, written by some of our exchange school's pupils (Troisième 5), I decided to use these letters for an integrated reading and writing exercise with my year 12 IB French class. Each student was paired up with their "relative" and read one of the letters. They then asked and answered some questions about the content of the...
Bonjour!
Who is this man? The dusty kaki coloured shirt framing a tanned face and the blanched periwinkle blue of the sky in behind the camel brown tent all suggest a war. But, which one? Perhaps it doesn’t matter as much as we might think...
This man is novelist, Tim O’Brien, during his service in Vietnam, lasting from 1969-70. I am currently in the midst of reading his most critically acclaimed novel, “The Things They Carried,” which, like this photograph, presents an aspect of...
Hello again!
Its been a whole month already. I have unfortunately been snowed under with school work and as much as I hate to admit it, Young Ambassadors has taken a bit of a backseat! I will make sure that this won’t happen too often and that I keep chipping away at my project.
Over the past week I have been getting in contact with local papers to promote the sharedhistories site and Young Ambassadors trip. I am hoping that they will get back in contact with me soon so I can share what we...
Bonjour tout le monde!
Firstly, thank you to everyone for all the help and support I have received so far. The amount of positive feedback and support I’ve had from students, teachers, schools and my local community has been overwhelming and it’s a privilege to be representing you all!
For me, the last few weeks have been pretty busy, as my Young Ambassador’s Project has started to get into full swing. Following my article in The Southland Times, I had an incredible response from people in my...
Bonjour and Hi!
St Margaret's College in Christchurch and the Collège Étouvie in Amiens started their co-operation a couple of months ago, firstly by creating a forum for a virtual exchange of ideas, texts, pictures, etc. Have a look at the poppelicot wiki.
Our general idea is to keep this intercultural, bilingual and interdisciplinary project as student centred as possible. Over the coming years, different year levels will participate and contribute to the wiki. In 2014 we focus on year 8...
