Pause pédagogie : Entrainement à la compréhension de l'oral : Climate Change Video

Comme promis voici une suggestion d'exploitation de la vidéo du précédent 'blog' pour un public de niveau B1+. Enseignants n'hésitez pas à envoyer vos propres suggestions d'exploitation. Élèves faites moi part de vos réflexions.

characters

setting

time

topic

Type of document


b) listen and spot all the words refering to global warming (partir du connu pour aller vers l'inconnu)

Pages from the book
Words heard
References to global warming
Page 1 : farm animals :


Heatwaves, ….. Very strange weather
Page 2 : a





Page 3 : a





Page 4 : a






d) The message :
What is the question asked by the little girl ?

What is the answer ?

What sort of books do parents usually read  for their young children at night ?

What can you say about this book ?

What is the answer given by the voice-over ? Who is the target audience ?

So, what is the message ?


e) Find the missing words (vérifier sa compréhension, limiter les zones d'ombre, inférer le sens des mots nouveaux, vérifier la prononciation)
There was once a …....................... where the weather was very, very ........................ There were awful heatwaves in some parts and in others terrible storms and floods.

Young girl : Is there a ....................... ending ?

Underline the stressed syllable :
scientists, energy, effects, disappear, consequences, discovered, ordinary

Find other words with the same sound :

f) Read this short text, then comment on it in French or in English to prove your comprehension.

"The UK Government has raised the temperature with “Bedtime Story”, their climate change TV advert featuring a drowning puppy and rabbits dying of thirst. The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK is responding to 375 complaints about the impact of the commercial on young children and may recommend that the ad be shown after 9 pm only. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) launched the commercial as part of its Act on CO2 campaign." (source : http://theinspirationroom.com/daily/2009/act-on-co2-bedtime-story-ending/ )
