Class : TL / LVA   Séquence :  Colonial spaces and exchanges
Name : Mohamed Amine   
Date : Friday November 22nd 
Lesson : immigration quotas and policies    CAV Doc :  Video “Where is the fence”  
 The first video is an ad campaign for a republican (conservative / rightist) senator. It talks about illegal immigrants (illegal aliens / strangers / undocumented immigrants / foreigners)  from Mexico who sneak across the US border. 1.2M border-crossers have crossed the border illegally (unlawfully / unofficially) and they were arrested by the border patrol (the customs) because Republicans say that it is not safe (not secure / insecure / unsafe) for the country and it is a natural security issue (problem). Mexicans are smuggled across the border by smugglers. They are stigmatized (are stereotyped) as a danger because 60 000 immigrants caught were criminals. According to Republicans they take good paying jobs and they bring pressure to public services. Republicans want to reinforce protectionism and to protect the borders.   Last year 700 miles of miles of fence was authorized (was allowed) by congress but only a few miles have been built and there are many unprotected places. This 2nd ad-campaign is a criticism of the government. It criticizes (denounces /debunks) the government’s policies because they say less immigrants cross the border because of immigration quotas but many more illegals have to sneak across the border and die. It is more hazardous(more dangerous/more risky).

Lesson :     A Political Tragedy: the law of the fittest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG1BUXW1-E4   CAV Doc :  “Game of thrones”, episode 5 / power  
“Game of thrones” takes place at the end of the middle-age and at the beginning of the Elisabeth age in the 16th century.  The atmosphere of the Middle-Age was (dark / necromantic / bleak / ghost-like / witch-like / hellish / nightmarish) and strange (uncanny / weird) because people were (scared/ frightened/ afraid) of supernatural forces/powers. They feared the supernatural (witchcraft).   They had to fight (struggle / battle) against death. They had to fight for respect, dignity and honor because it was the law of the fittest (wildness /the state of nature) that ruled (dominated / overshadowed) the world.  They had to be the strongest.   Passions (feelings / emotions) were a weakness whereas reason was power (strength). Tragic heroes have to face a dilemma (a tug of war) because they are torn (are divided) between passion and reason. Game of thrones is a political tragedy because they have to be ready to die or kill for power. The instrument of death is the sword. It is the instrument of divine power and fate (doom).
