CAPES revision


Best of luck with the written CAPES exams.


This weekend I will add some more recordings of classes.
I will also email you individually your homeworks with a few comments. Note that the mark I give is for the UE of the Master, it is not an estimation of a mark in the concours.


You will find at earlier dates (ie below) some other podcasts and PowerPoints from my classes, etc, including
-a corrigé of the Homework dossier on Ireland.
- some podcasts about the seventeenth century.
- a set of podcasts « Britain since the Romans »
- a collection of news articles on themes connected to « mémoires/héritages/ruptures »
- the class and PowerPoint on mémoire/héritages/ruptures.
- a long article on remembering world war one

MEEF CAPES marking

It is taking me a long time to mark your homeworks, but some progress is being made. By a very long way the two main problems were not talking enough about what Mary Holland, Tony Blair and David Cameron were trying to do and the methods they were using to try to persuade people, and not showing enough knowledge about the history ( in particular what the British government did during the famine and what happened at the first inquiry into Bloody Sunday, why there was a second one etc.)

LEA Revising Ireland

I will be putting up here the MP3s and powerpoint on Ireland, but I cannot do this till Saturday.
In the meantime here is a powerpoint I used two years back which contains *some of* the same information.

M1 LEA Evaluation 2ème semestre


The second semester is different to the first. You will be marked half based on a classroom test, in class time on 19th March, and half based on the homework assignment described below.

The classroom test will be of the same format as last semester's exam, and will deal with women in the US and/or the history and economy of the Irish Republic . If you are absent at this test for whatever reason, you will take the retake exam in the "deuxième session".

Your marked homework assignment for the second semester is to watch the video below and write

a) a summary in English in 500 words

b) your opinion of the video in 250 words (its neutrality or lack of neutrality, its pedagogical qualities, its world view etc).

As well as practising your understanding of different accents (here New Zealand) the video will explain some recent economic and social history of this far-off land.

Take extreme care with your English, and use automatic correction software before re-reading carefully.





Here is the video:

You  must send me this work in doc or odt before the 10th April 2019, by email. My address is donald.trump@univ-rouen.fr , but with my name, not his.
