A mon tour,

This document is an extract from Peter Pan, a novel written for children by JAMES M BARRIE, in 1904. This passage deals with the first time Peter and Wendy met.

To begin with, I'll um up this passage and, lastly I'll explain how I may use such a text in a clas.

Firstly, Peter and Wendy introduced themselves. 3 aspects of Peter's life are pointed out in this dialogue:

- his name is rather short compared to her's

- his adress is quite strange

- Peter doesn't have any relative that is the reason why he doesn't receive any letters. Wendy felt sad when she is told Peter doesn't have a mother.

Now, Il'll draw your attention to the difference between Wendie's feelings and Peter's reaction. Indeed she has the impression Peter was crying because he suffers from the absence of a mother. However this is not the case, he simply has difficulties with his shadow. The reader understands that eventhough Peter was really crying he was not about admitting it. Of course, Peter is a boy and boys never cry!

Finally, this extract is very interesting for a study in class because it deals with the way English-speaking people introduce themselves. Indeed the French Ministère de l'Education Nationale (it's so franch!)expects children to be able to introduce themselves. It is completely part of children' skills. => good idea, I thougth about it (pupils have to introduce themeselves) but I had developed an other kind of work

Je n'ai pas vraiment d'idée pour la 2nde partie.

Sinon, j'aime bien tes rapprochements, Tigwenn, avec : disney cartoon, English heritage and the literature work to do in class. C'est bien ce dernier aspect qui aurait pu compléter ma référence aux programmes. Bonne organisation de l'exposé je trouve.

On se fait un autre texte jeudi?

J'ai parcouru le doc que j'ai mis en ligne et il y a qqes astuces intéressantes pour la présentation, la prononciation...

For english literature, except Harry Potter and Alice (a rabbit but I've forgotten its name)... Could you give some exemples please ?

You can speak too about adult who dress the same as teenager. The specialist talk about the peter pan syndrome (I read a book about that). Also more and more person refuse to grow old, you can make a link.
