NYC 2017: Let’s step into the shoes of a Reporter and create your own e-magazine!

Prepare your visit of NYC: Each of you will find in the grid below the place, building and museum you have to present. You can change with friends if you want. In this case tell your teacher. You’ll have 2 pages on the magazine for you to write on before leaving, while in NYC and after your school trip. The layout is yours to decide according to the possibilities of the page. Each of you will have 2 pages.

Your magazine will be on-line for everybody to read. The link will be put on Corot Website. The access will be free. You’ll be able to buy one paper or PDF issue if you like. So what I mean is: be serious, original and happy to share your experience with your readers.

To create your pages, I think you have to click on “edit” (=modifier/créer) written on the mag cover. Then choose your page layout by clicking on “article”, “briefs” or “portfolio”.

FOR EVERYBODY:

FIRST PAGE: ask your parents to say one thing on the project. Put this sentence in English and e-mail this to your teacher or give it on paper when in class. Your teacher will put these sentences on the EDITORIAL PAGE. The statement will be anonymous, or if your parents agree, we can keep their first name.

YOUR 2 PAGES:

BEFORE LEAVING:

1 - Search the web for information on the place/building/museum allotted to you. Select the most relevant elements: date, technical information for buildings, symbol or importance for Americans or the world, select at least one famous person connected with the place/building and write a few lines on this person. Don’t copy and paste but only use the vocabulary to rephrase in your own words. Make your presentation short (10/15 lines) but relevant.

2 - Write a few lines on your expectations, excitement and/or anxieties

AFTER YOUR VISIT & WHILE IN NYC: write about your impressions, feelings and reactions just after your visit. Add new information you have learnt

ONCE BACK IN FRANCE: give a feedback on your school trip: what you learnt, your feelings…Insert your own photo(s) of the place you’ve written about.

LAST PAGE BUT ONE:

Prepare a quiz on your pages only: 1 or 2 question(s), see the list below for variety:

-  Ask a question

-  Multiple-choice question

-  Tick the correct answer

-  Say if the statement is true or false

-  A matching exercise (dates/names – photos/names, locate on a map…)

-  Imperative (give an order : for example : draw Roosevelt Island on the map)

-  Find the odd man out

-  Find the correct spelling

-  Create a crossword

-  Play Sherlock Holmes (clues – rebus….)

LAST PAGE:

Prepare a Thank You Page: your parents, your teachers (don’t forget Mme Philibert and Mme Longère), your sponsors (Nuvia company, Kisskissbankbank, friends and families, neighbours who welcomed you when you knocked at their door), Morestel Mayor, Morestel Tourist Office, your school (their desire to open frontiers and enable you to meet foreigners and other cultures)

It would be nice to insert the logo or picture of the companies/associations: ask permission before. See your teacher.

FOR ESA STUDENTS:

1 - Present Essex Street Academy: surprising points + what you like + What you didn’t like. If you want to insert photos of the school, ask Stacy or Nick for permission. If you haven’t already done it, can go on ESA website: just google Essex Street Academy NYC

2 - Talk about your American family: life style, home, neighbourhood, food, activities done. If you want to insert a photo of your US family, ask for permission. Find original ways of writing: You can transcribe a conversation with your US pal, you can put a picture of a dish (plat) with a caption, you can insert bubbles (see if this is possible). Last but not least, show your US family and US pal the page You have written. Fill in the page with the help of your US pal.
