On this site, you will find a sight seeing guide (you can also click on the map below), a history timeline (frise chronologique), an interview of Nelson Mandela, and much useful information!

Enjoy the tour!

Learn your vocabulary more easily!

I read about an interesting internet site, www.wordle.net, which allows you to create images from the words of a text. The words are arranged at random on the page and that creates beautiful images.
I think this tool can be used in a useful, and maybe artistic way too, to learn vocabulary.
Once you have created a new picture, you can save it to the public library and share it. Thus your classmates can also see your wordle-picture on the internet. Brilliant, isn't it?

Now it's up to you to create your own pictures with words.

(French version: J'ai lu quelque chose d'intéressant au sujet d'un site internet, www.wordle.net, qui permet de créer des images à partir des mots d'un texte. Les mots sont disposés au hasard sur la page et cela permet de créer de belles images.
Je pense que cet outil peut être utilisé de manière utile, et peut-être artistique aussi, pour apprendre du vocabulaire. Une fois que vous avez créé une nouvelle image, il vous est possible de l'enregistrer dans la "bibliothèque publique" et de la partager. Ainsi, vos camarades de classes peuvent aussi consulter votre image-wordle sur internet. C'est super, non?)

La modalité et les auxiliaires modaux en 3ème

(Légende: Vous êtes autorisé à infliger des souffrances mais elle ne doivent être ni graves, ni prolongées.)

Nombre d'élèves ont demandé des aides supplémentaires pour parvenir à bien maîtriser l'emploi des modaux. Le point de départ est bien sûr les fiches distribuées en classe. Pour poursuivre l'étude, il y a le manuel.

Voici enfin un site qui propose un récapitulatif avec les VALEURS, c'est à dire le sens, des modaux, des traductions de phrases et une série très complète d'exercices corrigés en ligne sous forme de QCM. C'est ludique et en même temps très efficace pour faire le point sur ses connaissances.


Here are also some exercices for practice. The corrections are given at the bottom of the page in small fonts.
Voici également quelques exercices pour vous entraîner. Les corrections sont en bas de la page en petits caractères.
