The BPI "Polar Américain" page
hosts a file on the American Crime/Detective novels
Check it out by clicking on the detective picture :
Though in French, the English learner may get interested by the links to several referential websites ; the Centre Pompidou Centre Library (aka 'BPI', in French) site also selects a series of major novels in the literary genre.
The presentation below helps you to figure out what a myth / a hero represents. It may also be used to relate these to the documents you've studied:
Little Red Riding Hood
Parodies are an interesting way of working on traditional and classic literary works : school textbooks now have taken over the English teachers' suggestions and work on animated parodies. The internet displays loads of documents that parody various tales and "Little Red Riding Hood" is one of the most commonly studied in France -yet, many others are also worked on.
Here is the video of the 1931 version of Betty Boop Red Riding Hood :
"Fractured version" is part of a late 60s Rocky & Bullwinkle show :
Below is Tex Avery's version of the tale : "Red Hot Riding Hood" :
Here's the excerpt suggested by a French EFL textbook -"An Old Tale in a new Skin" :
The passage above is taken from a 1983 film, "Twice upon a time" :
The poster below appeals to social networkers' self-mockery ;-)
By kalokwong1 - on 9GAG.com, a fun sharing community
Let's decode the reasons why the author of the poster has chosen each explanation : can you answer the following questions ?
Twitter : "I'm eating bacon"
How long are the messages displayed on Twitter ? So, why is the verb "eat" present continuous ?
Fbook : "I like bacon"
... hmmm. Nah, I won't help you ! The answer's far too easy...
LinkedIn : "I have skills including eating bacon"
If you don't know this network, check what linkedin is... and you'll get the answer ! The key-word is "skills".
Foursquare : "This is where I eat bacon"
Which is the key-word ? 1st clue : this one helps to find places - 2nd clue : check it here !
YouTube : "Watch me eat my bacon"
... you know the answer-key comes with the word "watch", don't you ?
. . . ?? : "Here's a vintage photo of my bacon"
Well, I give up : it's surely a photography social media, but I couldn't find what this logo corresponds to : if you can find the social media it represents, please tell me !
⇒ I knew you'd find it (1) : the logo shows Instagram's camera.
Pinterest : "Here's a recipe with bacon"
Why not explain what ' Pinterest' is ?
Google+ : "I work for Google and eat bacon"
How does Google work -I mean how does it earn money ? As a result... why does the poster tell that you work for Google whenever you use it on the web pages you surf ?
Last.fm : "I'm listening to music about bacon"
Well, both "fm" and "listening to music" are clues to a proper answer : what can you do on this website ? Who owns last.fm ? You'll find the answer here.
Here you are : hope you've learnt a bit more on a few Internet social media networks and had fun :)

The title of the infographic below is quite provocative...
Not only does it outline parents' concern with their children's activities online, but it also gathers various data on the latter.
It displays find information on Cyberbullying and a list of the U.S. states with cyber bullying laws, what the youngsters think of Fbook parental controls... and more !
