If Girls Were in Charge

A new documentary, Girls State, looks at a social experiment where 500 girls from Missouri try to form a government, running for positions like Governor and Supreme Court Justices. It makes a fascinating contrast with the award-winning 2020 documentary by the same team following 1000 boys in Texas participating in the same national project.

La Chimère d'Arezzo, analyse d'image

L’imaginaire des contes et celui des mythes ne sont pas si éloignés qu’on le pense. La rubrique Histoire des Arts propose de découvrir la Chimère d’Arezzo en mettant en lumière les liens entre fiction et réalité: le réalisme de l’attitude, comme celui des détails de la crinière contraste avec sa dimension imaginaire, chimérique.

Lee Miller: Photographing War

At a time when women helped wage war backstage, Lee Miller went to the front with her camera and risked her life to witness and share the reality of WWII with the rest of the world. The biopic by Ellen Kuras to be released in October and starring Kate Winslet pays tribute to this modern and determined female trailblazer who went from fashion model and Surrealist muse to war photographer.

Two Queens

This B1+-B2 article explores the fates of two queens who reigned in neighbouring kingdoms in the 16th century. Both linked and opposed, they had to rule in a man’s world, in a conflict-ridden society, where religious and political unrest were rife and conspiracy and treason were the norm. Through the new biopic, "Mary Queen of Scots", we ask pupils to think about how, and why, we remember historic figures, and how we reinvent them for our own needs.

A Youth Voice for Congress

The midterm elections will take place in the U.S.A. on 8 November. Among thousands of candidates, Maxwell Alejandro Frost stands out as a lively and enthusiastic young activist, who’s been involved in politics and has organised political events since he was 15. Now 25, Frost is aiming to be the first member of Generation Z to be elected to Congress. Born to a Cuban family and adopted by another Cuban family living in Florida, Maxwell’s early career is reminiscent of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s.

Suffragettes Interview

2018 marks the centenary of the 1918 law which gave some British women the right to vote in parliamentary elections for the first time. Dr Helen Pankhurst has particular insight into this subject, not just as an academic but as the great-granddaughter and granddaughter of Emmeline and Sylvia Pankhurst, two of the leaders of the suffrage movement. An audio interview with Dr Pankhurst is the basis of this resource, which allows differentiated teaching with B1 and B2 groups.

Hidden Figures in the Space Race

In this B1-level article, your students will learn how a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as ‘human computers’ used their talents to help NASA launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. Even if Virginia’s Jim Crow laws required them to be segregated from their white colleagues, the black women of Langley’s group contributed to America’s decisive victory over the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

The New Face of Congress

A young Latina woman from the Bronx, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shatters our traditional vision of Congressional Representatives. This article explores her life, both private and public, from the Bronx to Washington, D.C. after the recent midterm elections: how can “one of us” sit in Congress at barely 29 and champion the average working class person’s rights? This article comes in 2 versions: B1 and B1+/B2 which enables you to have the whole class work on the same subject, with the same worksheet (making it easier for you to correct the activities with the whole group).

Feelgood Music 2: "Waterloo Sunset"

For the second of our series of feelgood songs, we've crossed the Atlantic to the UK, 1967, and The Kinks' classic "Waterloo Sunset". Which gives plenty of scope to work on emotions, and London landmarks Waterloo Station and the Thames. Pupils can start by watching a Biobox about the year 1967 in music before going on to answer a quiz, learn about The Kinks and analyse the song.
