Captain Cook agrégation anglais 2020 option civilisation post one

I will be teaching this option at Rouen, so I am now myself beginning to study it in detail. I will put up here on this blog useful resources, mostly videos.

I recommend converting  the videos to Mp3, to allow you to listen to them while driving, doing the shopping or tidying your home, playing golf or waiting for a bus. This is what I do.

This collection of posts does not replace a serious bibliography, which the SAES normally makes available a little later in the year. In any case, it is essential to read the framing document (here http://media.devenirenseignant.gouv.fr/file/agreg_externe/57/9/p2020_agreg_ext_lve_anglais_1107579.pdf )

and the journals themselves.
