Camille (3e3 Marengo)

Thoughts about Virginia

The shooting that took place in Virginia was very bloody, and I think it was an inhumane action to kill as many people. But in France, the media didn't give a lot of information so I can't have too many ideas about that.

Yassine (Marengo 4e1)

Laura and Juliette (5e1 Marengo)

Supersize Me

He puts on weight very quickly.
He takes 7.7 kilos during twelve days.
He is terrible nervous.
He is depressed.
He must eat to be happy.
He is very hot.
It's very difficult (for him) to breathe.

Doctors think he must stop his McDonald's diet because it is very unhealthy and he'll be overweight.

American culture and French culture
The smallest size (chips, sodas...)in America corresponds with the biggest in France.
Children have known Ronald McDonald since the age that they could speak.
Children, in their schools in America, eat too much sweet and greasy food: biscuits, chips, chocolate bars...all the food is packed into boxes.
Children take (45 minutes a week) very few Physical Education lessons.
American people don't know what is a calorie. In the movie they said, "I eat when I'm hungry."

I think it's very disgusting!

Anna (4e6 Chaumeton, L'Union)

SuperSize Me

In American schools, students eat fattening food, greasy and sweet food: Hamburgers, sodas, chips, biscuits...

They practice sports once a week for only 45 minutes. In France, we eat balanced food: vegetables, fresh fruits, meat, fish, yogurt, or cheese.

We practice sports twice a week: once for two hours and once for one hour.

In America lots of people are obese.

There are more than 10 McDonald's in big cities.

There are loads of advertisements that speak about food and fast food restaurants.

Cassiopee (4e Chaumeton, L'Union)

SuperSize Me

In this experience Morgan, "kills" his liver. He eats about 30 pounds of sugar and 5 kilos of grease. In one month Morgan gains about 9 kilos.
For Morgan, it was a test, but lots of people usually eat in McDonald's. He says, "In America we made the biggest cars, houses...We made the biggest inhabitants in the world."
The America people are very fat. In France, there aren't so many fat people.

He is followed by three doctors does on him some tests.
During five days, the man takes four kilos and it's not yet finished for him...

Alexandre (4e Chaumeton, L'Union)

Supersize Me, Commentary of the Film

It's a story of a man who eats everyday in McDonald's to show it's bad for the health.
I think it's a bad experience because he'll be fat. After the month, I think he'll continue to eat in McDo because he'll be habitued. It's bad for his health and I think he'll be handicapped for life. He will stay fat because it's very difficult to go on a diet.

journal entry

I want to tell about my Saturday party with my friends. We made plenty of dishes. Boys brought salted food and girls sweet food. We watched a very pleasant film called "Dance With Me"- it was surprising that the boys liked this film! At the same time we ate a lot! I enjoyed myself! Just being with friends and spending time with them brings you smiles and happiness for all the week!

Camille (3e Marengo)

journal entry

This week I didn't have many adventures which were interesting or exciting, in fact it was a week like every other. The only thing that I can say is that I spoke with teenage girls but, to change, we didn't speak about boys, clothes, homework like almost everyday but about news. So I can say, and I say that loudly, we are concerned by that which arrives everyday in the world and we aren't interested only by ourselves. We aren't narcissistic like what books or movies for adults say! We have an opinion, so listen to us!!!

Mathilde (3e3 Marengo)

Poem

Cassiopee (4e4 Chaumeton, L'Union)

Happy Year and Happy Life!

One day, I was born
Another day, I was down
And I drowned
The years passed and until the end...

In Spring, it was the time of weddings
In Summer, sun shone forever
Autumn rhymes just with Autumn
In Winter, the snow covered the flowers

And Again Forever!
Until Game Over!

Lucie and Lola (4e6 Chaumeton, L'Union)

I can't bear pessimistic people, running or apples
I dislike fishermen, jealously, boredom or commercials
I don't mind poverty or pollution
I hate racism

My Family

My dog is supersonic
My brother is magic
My mother begins to be nervous
My father becomes superstitious

My family is crazy
but very lovely
I love them!

Poem

My father is depressing
My mother is terrifying
My brother is stupid
My sister is horrid
I'm very unlucky because
My family is crazy

HELP ME!!!

Our New Blog

I've just created this blog as way to post the thoughts and reflections of my students at Marengo and Chaumeton middle-schools, located in the greater Toulouse area. I've asked them to keep a journal, recording their thoughts at least once a week. After correcting the few grammatical errors, I will post their entries on this blog. Wish us luck!
