Summer Press Review : 1ère/Term AMC

Pour les élèves suivant la spécialité AMC en 1ère et Terminale l’année prochaine, veuillez pendre connaissance du travail à faire pour le 1er cours de la rentrée en septembre.

During the holidays, regularly read articles and watch videos from the main US/British newspapers (twice a week) : The Telegraph, The Guardian, the New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, the Independent, BBC News, the Conversation, Sky news,…

For the first class in September, be ready to report about 5 major events

• Pick 5 major and varied events that occurred over the summer ( the environment, British and US politics, the place of women, the place of minorities, world economy, tech advances, the space race, the consequences of Brexit, King Charles III, gun control in the US, the justice system, abortion, war in Ukraine, the nuclear threat, strikes…)
• Find a picture (or short video – less than 2 min) that will illustrate them best
• Present objectively each event with a few synthetic, clear and complete sentences (When ? Where ? Who ? What ? Impact / Consequences ?)
• Identify the point of view/angle of view of the journalist
• What questions does each event raise ?

Have fun !
