I will post here your marks for the first assignment very soon.
You are working on the second assignment now.
There will no doubt be one more mark to make up the whole module.

L3 Civilisation britannique - Britain since 1945
I hope you have a good Spring Break.
After the break, there will be two more classes - on the 29th April and the 6th of May. Most likely I will cover "Immigration, racism and antiracism since 1945" and "Debates and issues in Britain in 2011"
On May 13th there is the "épreuve finale de contrôle continu".
The total mark for the module will therefore be made up of three marks
1) The classroom test you took two weeks ago.
2) The research assignment I gave you yesterday, which must be handed in one month from now.
3) The final exam on the 13th May.
Concerning the research assignment, I will post here the instructions for the two or three students who were absent Friday. If you know who they are, let them know, because it will be very hard for them if they are going to start the work only after the break.
I will put online here some links to help you with the research assignment, but the library is the most important source of help.
Concerning the Classroom test, I will put up here your marks as soon as I have got through with the marking. I apologize for the delay.

The four Irish Home Rule bills introduced in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, were intended to grant self-government and national autonomy to the whole of Ireland within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and reverse parts of the Acts of Union 1800. Of the two that passed the Parliament of the United Kingdom the Third Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1914 and then suspended, while the Fourth Bill, enacted as the Government of Ireland Act 1920 established two separate Home Rule territories in Ireland, of which the one was implemented by the Parliament of Northern Ireland, but the second Parliament of Southern Ireland was not implemented in the rest of Ireland. The bills were:
1886: First Irish Home Rule Bill defeated in the House of Commons and never introduced in the House of Lords.
1893: Second Irish Home Rule Bill passed the House of Commons, but defeated in the House of Lords.
1914: Third Irish Home Rule Act passed with Royal Assent never came into force, due to the intervention of World War I (1914–18) and of the Easter Rising in Dublin (1916).
1920: Fourth Irish Home Rule Act (replaced Third Act, passed and implemented as the Government of Ireland Act 1920) which established Northern Ireland as a Home Rule entity within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and simultaneously resulted in the partition of Ireland.

Britain since 1945 - Clause four
Several times in the history of the Labour Party in the twentieth century, the deate about "Clause Four of the Labour Party Constitution" will be important. Here is the clause in question. It was added to the Labour Party constitution in 1918.
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."
"To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, and the best obtainable system of popular administration and control of each industry or service."
Britain since 1945 - Harold Wilson
What wikipedia says about the man is not bad :
Harold Wilson first served as Prime Minister in the 1960s, during a period of low unemployment and relative economic prosperity (though also of significant problems with the UK's external balance of payments). His second term in office began in 1974, when a period of economic crisis was beginning to hit most Western countries. On both occasions, economic concerns were to prove a significant constraint on his governments' ambitions. Wilson's own approach to socialism placed emphasis on efforts to increase opportunity within society, for example through change and expansion within the education system, allied to the technocratic aim of taking better advantage of rapid scientific progress, rather than on the left's traditional goal of promoting wider public ownership of industry. While he did not challenge the Party constitution's stated dedication to nationalisation head-on, he took little action to pursue it.
Though generally not at the top of Wilson's personal areas of priority, his first period in office was notable for substantial legal changes in a number of social areas, including the liberalisation of censorship, divorce, homosexuality, immigration and abortion (see Social issues, below), as well as the abolition of capital punishment, due in part to the initiatives of backbench MPs who had the support of Roy Jenkins during his time as Home Secretary.
Overall, Wilson is seen to have managed a number of difficult political issues with considerable tactical skill, including such potentially divisive issues for his party as the role of public ownership, British membership of the European Community, and the Vietnam War. Nonetheless, his stated ambition of substantially improving Britain's long-term economic performance remained largely unfulfilled.

I have put some of your encylcopedia articles up on wikipedia, under my name, before correction. You can visit the pages and correct the mistakes (I put them up without my corrections). If you don't correct them, someone else will eventually. Or someone who thinks the subject is not important enough to go on wikipedia will propose it be deleted...
I do recommend wikipedia for practising writing and watching it being corrected.

Voici les notes de votre devoir.
Attention! Ce sont des notes en lien au niveau que nous demandons pour un master. Vous aurez bien compris que la notation pour le CAPES est beaucoup plus sévère.
J'ai envoyé par mail une correction assez détaillée, aux étudiants qui m'avaient envoyé leur travail en format électronique.
Les défauts les plus courants et graves des devoirs étaient
1) ne pas mettre suffisamment au centre de l'analyse les objectifs des auteurs des documents.
2) ne pas montrer une large connaissance de l'histoire récente du Royaume Uni.
Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt.

There are many general books in the University Library and you should read some of them. But also, here, in six hours of Mp3 files, is a revision course on British history. listen to it in the metro.
