Psycho

Dear NB2,
I'm sorry I forgot to post the Psycho trailer we watched in class on Thursday. Here it is in case you want to see it again. Remember that you were supposed to describe the house and its decoration (for revision of vocabulary related to houses), and the type of family that could live in such a house (how many members does it have, what do they do, how do they get on, etc.). I don't mind if you write it, but the most important thing is that you can do the description orally, without reading.

You can find the transcript here

Hungry Planet

Dear NB2, 
here are the images I told you about yesterday:

Some years ago, the photographer Peter Menzel decided to travel around the world and take photographs of 30 families from 24 countries. The idea was to photograph the families, and the food they would eat that week, as well as taking note of the money each family would spend.
The book Menzel published is called Hungry Planet. I’d like you to pay attention to the differences between the families and the food they eat. Try to enumerate / describe what you see; stop the video with each of the slides. At the same time that you revise vocabulary, you’ll become aware of tremendous social differences.
