We visited an exhibition : « Cartooning for peace »

DESCRIPTION 

The exhibition Cartooning for Peace was held in the main hall of the high school more than a month ago. The two main topics were peace and cartooning. There were different subjects such as children in wartime, the environment, censorship or the Near East

A BIT OF HISTORY 

Cartooning was first created because many people could not read in the past. Cartoons are mainly published in newspapers. Moreover, the most famous cartoonist is Plantu. The association « Cartooning for peace », was initially created in 2006 to defend people’s freedom of speech. Eponymous exhibitions were also created for the same purpose.

GOALS

Cartooning has several goals – first, it gives messages about burning issues. Secondly, it denounces serious problems and finally it makes people laugh about them. 

FEEDBACK 

     Maewenn found this exhibition interesting because she learned many things about the environment
     Valentin worked on the conflict between Palestine and Israel. It was unknown to him
     Finally, Simon studied the Internet and its dangers. He found the information quite useless because he already knew about this topic.

Series

   Today, we want to talk about series because we are crazy about that like every teenager.

The most popular series are on the application called Netflix. Nevertheless, you have to pay this app because it’s legal. According to us, it’s better to pay and have an amazing app.

First of all, a series is composed of between 2 and 6 seasons, in general there are between 10 and 25 episodes which last around 45 minutes.

The 5 best successful series on Netflix are:

  • Pretty Little Liars
  • LA CASA DE PAPEL
  • Riverdale
  • 13 REASONS WHY
  • STRANGER THINGS

Our favorite one is LA CASA DE PAPEL –  It’s a group of people who want to borrow the house of paper. Their goal is to make money without hurting or killing someone.

« 13 reasons why » : a drama series

        13 reasons why is a drama series.

It’s an American series which is inspired from the novel written by Jay Asher.

     The main characters are Hannah Baker and Clay Jensen. Hannah and Clay are 17- year-old teenagers.

One day, Clay receives a box containing 7 tapes. Each tape has 2 sides : A and B. They were saved by Hannah before her death. On each side a person is referred and is responsible for her suicide – her friends.

There are 13 reasons which caused her death, that’s why the series is called like that.

We liked it because we love drama series and because it’s realistic.

There is a lot of suspense, and when we watch an episode,  we want to watch the following one …

We had the idea to give the name « FahrenheitBlum71 » to our blog

    when some of us went to see a play adapted  from

« FAHRENHEIT 451 » by Ray Bradbury

To know more about this outing in Lyon, read the following article written by O.Simon, teacher : 

In December, 47 students went to Lyon with their English teachers.

In the morning, they saw a play adapted from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

It was a first for many students to see a play in English. It was quite hard and challenging at the beginning but they finally enjoyed this new experience.

In the afternoon, they visited an exhibition dedicated to Fred Deux’s artwork. This French artist’s disturbing style surprised the students a lot. Many thought the paintings were weird.

In brief, this outing was synonymous with discovery and suprise for the students!
