John Wesley Powell: The one-armed explorer
While much of the US was being rapidly settled in the 19th Century, large parts of the West remained unknown. Determined to change that, one man led an expedition along the "impassable" Colorado River and into the unexplored Grand Canyon, writes historian Dan Snow, who followed in his footsteps for the BBC.

J'ai trouvé un lien avec des poèmes de guerre le voici....
http://www.world-war-pictures.com/war-poem/Dulce-et-Decorum-est/55/
Tu as aussi un texte dans Insight Terminale sur un épisode de fraternisation entre soldats britanniques et allemands. En gros, c'est comme dans le film "joyeux Noêl"
En général, dans les manuels on trouve plutôt des poèmes.
Tu dois pouvoir trouver des textes sur les "Aussies" , les troupes australiennes .
Il y a un texte dans Your Way 1ère sur des soldats noirs américains et une infirmière qui les défend : "Nurse Blythe"..
Il y a aussi le film tiré du roman Atonement (le personnage principal devient infirmière et il y a des scènes qui sont sûrement exploitables)
Il y a un texte d' Hemingway ' SOLDIER'S HOME) dans un manuel de term, Un jeune soldat revient de la guerre et il est raumatisé, mais c'est plus dans l'implicite...
Il y a aussi les posters de propagande hommes/femmes
Une des conséquences de la guerre, c'est aussi le droit de vote des femmes, ça peut être intéressant
Je ne sais pas si on trouve grand-chose dans les manuels récents sur WWI.
Oh! j'allais oublier! Il y a des archives de la BBC : BBC archive, ils ont dû faire des choses !
vLe CRDP de Dijon publie une lettre pour l'anglais tous les mois avec plein de ressources :
Il y a un dossier sur War Horse : http://www.cndp.fr/crdp-dijon/Lettre-Anglais-College-Lycee-LP-no,4057.html

Write a film review: before asking students to do such a difficult exercise, I think the best thing to do is to have them read reviews of several films they already know regularly ( start in September) !
compare short story and film : give your opinion.
Debate : Walter Mitty, crazy or not?
perform in front of the class
choose one "episode" in the short story and one in the movie, then comment on their differences, etc.. .
