Une démarche conforme au CECRL et au nouveau programme
du cycle Terminal.
Un manuel structuré autour des 5 activités langagières, offrant
une grande liberté pédagogique.
Une démarche pédagogique guidée, centrée sur la réalisation de
tâches motivantes et concrètes, qui développent les compétences
nécessaires à la réussite au Bac.
Des documents (textes, audio, images, vidéo) originaux et de
difficultés variées, pour travailler toutes les notions du programme
et permettant des parcours adaptés à toutes les séries et à tous
les usages (en classe, en sous-groupes et en autonomie).
Des évaluations à la carte avec un grand choix de sujets.
Tous les outils élève/prof pour préparer le Bac : travail sur la langue,
supports de compréhension, outils méthodologiques, aide
à la production écrite et orale...
L’intégration des TICE, de manière souple, dans le travail en classe
et pour le travail en autonomie : mp3 élève, webquests, activités
sur internet (posts sur forums, tweets…), manuels interactifs.
Un Fichier pédagogique réunissant de nombreux conseils
didactiques offrant des exploitations détaillées et les outils
pour évaluer selon les critères du Bac.

a. Listen to Lady Macbeth and say which
words are particularly stressed.
Out, damned spot! Out, I say! — One; two:
why then, ’tis time to do’t. — Hell is murky.—
Fie, my lord, fie! A soldier and afeard?
Here’s the smell of the blood still. All the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand. Oh! Oh! Oh!
Wash your hands; put on your nightgown;
look not so pale. I tell you yet again, Banquo’s buried; he cannot come out on’s grave.
To bed, to bed! There’s knocking at the gate.
Come, come, come, come, give me your
hand. What’s done cannot be undone. To
bed, to bed, to bed!

b.
The man is concerned about minorities in California and the opportunities they can have.
He supports them. He pleads in favour of Californian minorities. He wants the government
to adopt a new policy on welfare. He would like the government to pass laws to increase
housing. He thinks the gap between minorities and American citizens can be bridged
by offering more educational opportunities to youngsters. He would like the government
to urge the employers to develop projects to hire minorities.
c.
At first the woman thinks it’s really kind of him to feel so concerned about minorities
in California. Then she sounds stunned and puzzled: apparently the man is not used to being
concerned about minorities. He must have been the typical prejudiced white man who does
not really care about minorities.
d.
The man has read the newspaper and is really taken aback after discovering the new data
regarding minorities. It looks as if the percentage of Whites is about to decline.
e.
The man is overwhelmed with anxiety. He is worried / worries about what will happen in the near
future. He fears he might be discriminated against. He may lose ground. He is likely to be set
apart / rejected / excluded. He fears he might not find accommodation easily or that he may
become a second-class citizen. Only limited job opportunities may be offered to his children.
2. The “browning” of America
b.
Over the past ten years / decade, the percentage of Hispanics or Latinos has soared.
There are 43% more Hispanics or Latinos in the USA. The Hispanic or Latino population is
almost twice as high as in 2000. Only the percentage increase of Asian people is higher
(43.3%). However, there are very few Asian people compared to Hispanics or Latinos.
The Hispanics or Latinos now constitute the second largest population in the USA with 16.3%,
above the Black population (12.6%).
On the contrary, the “Not Hispanic or Latino” group / population has hardly grown /
risen. There is just a slight growth of 4.9%.
Over the past few / last years, the population by State has changed mainly in the border
States such as California, Texas and Arizona. As they are States neighbouring the StatesMexico border, we can imagine that this increase has been provoked / caused by
the Hispanic or Latino population who have crossed the border legally or illegally.

The US-Mexico border is one of the longest borders in the world. It stretches over
several States in the USA and it snakes from San Diego to Brownsville, across all sorts
of landscapes, from mountains to deserts. The US-Mexico border is very busy and much
debated. Indeed, as Mexico can only offer limited job opportunities, many Mexicans
who are destitute dream of crossing the border to find success and better prospects
in one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

Not only is the US-Mexico border very busy, but it is also watched over by regular
patrols since it is dangerous. Indeed legal and illegal businesses are thriving on the
border like commercial exchanges or drug dealing and many fortunes are made. Much
is at stake on the border as narco trafficantes / drug dealers smuggle drugs through
tunnels with sophisticated equipment dug below ground! No wonder tragedies should
occur every day and hundreds of migrants should die each year.

More than half the immigrants in the USA are Mexicans who are attracted by the job
opportunities there. Indeed, as they are willing to accept low wages, they represent an
easily-hired cheap labour force. Moreover, since they are also ready to accept painful
jobs, they easily find unskilled or menial jobs, both in the suburbs on building sites,
in hotels and in restaurants, or in rural areas as farm labourers at harvest time or in
the farming industry.

➼ Part 1
It can be complicated, maddening, beguiling… for those who haven’t seen it before,
the United States-Mexico border can be overwhelming. It is a place of hope, of desperation,
of dreams. These two neighboring nations, one battling endemic poverty, the other boasting
the world’s largest economy, share 1,951 miles of border. “La Linea”, as it is known
on the Mexican side, snakes over mountains and deserts and along rivers. The border
stretches from Tijuana, a city where generations of Californian teenagers have spent boozy
nights across the daytime heat and evening chill of the desert in Arizona and New Mexico,
along the wide Rio Grande River, in Texas, and down to the Gulf of Mexico beach towns
outside Brownsville. No border is busier, no border is more closely watched, no border is
more controversial. More than the entire population of the United States cross it according
to the White House. 1’05’’
➼ Part 2
Dangers come with the increasing flows. Tighter border patrols have pushed migrants into
the deserts and hundreds die trying to cross each year.
Fortunes are made on the border, above and below ground. On the surface, legitimate
businesses conduct $650 million worth of trade each year… below ground, drug traffickers,
the “narco trafficantes”, have built sophisticated tunnels to transport cocaine, heroin,
marijuana and synthetic drugs.

In January, US border agents discovered a 2,400-foot tunnel that was dug 85 feet beneath
the Mexico-California border. It had electric lighting, ventilation systems and a concrete
floor. Agents found two tons of marijuana inside. 1’51”
➼ Part 3
Millions of immigrants, legal and illegal, have crossed “La Linea”. In the past decade, more
than ever have been crossing into the United States, streaming into America’s fields at
harvest time, its suburban construction zones, its backrooms and at restaurants and hotels.
Even though the numbers dropped slightly in the early 2000s, they appear to be climbing
again. The result is that more illegal immigrants live in the United States now than ever,
and more than half are Mexican.
c.
It is not surprising that the 1,951-mile States-Mexico border should arouse mixed feelings
(desperation and hope) as the two countries are completely opposed. The States boasts
the world’s largest economy, contrary to Mexico, which is plagued by economic problems,
crime and misery.
The border is the longest in the world and it stretches over all sorts of landscapes from
mountains to beaches and rivers such as the wide Rio Grande. You can be confronted with
all sorts of climatic conditions (from heat to chill) depending on the place where you cross
the border. And as many people cross the border (more than the entire population cross
it according to the White House), it is the busiest, the most watched over and the most
debated / disputed border in the world.
No wonder it should be a dangerous place too! It is all the more risky as border patrols keep
on rejecting migrants into the desert where hundreds of undocumented people die every
year. On the surface and below ground, all sorts of legal and illegal trades and businesses are
conducted. Once a 2,400-foot tunnel was discovered. It was so well equipped with electric
lighting and ventilation systems that it was easy to survive in it for a long time!
More than half the illegal immigrants living in the States are Mexicans who have crossed
the border to work in fields, building sites, restaurants and hotels doing the jobs the Americans
often find degrading.
1. A HARD PATH TO HOPE
MANUEL k P. 120-121
1. New horizons
a.
Many Mexicans are attracted to the USA because of the promise of a better life, a new
life bringing more wealth and material comfort. It is more than just changing horizons for
them, since it sometimes appears as a question of survival for the whole family. What draws
them to the other side are also the med facilities and the education system. What’s more,
they know they can find unskilled jobs quite easily and start off quickly.
b.
Group A: The American Dream is still alive and attracts immigrants like a magnet. It is
a permanent fascination. Indeed the USA is still considered the Land of Plenty, a haven for
impoverished immigrants seeking jobs, decent housing, health care, education. They know
10 •
that all this can only be reached through hard work and self-determination and they are ready
to endure hardships.
Group B: Mexicans dream of making it out there in the US, of climbing the rungs of the social
ladder, of succeeding. They also wish they could get papers one day and become American
citizens. But their ultimate goal is to be reunited with their families and to be able to go back
to their country when they can retire and live a peaceful life with enough money.
Journalist: Good evening, I’m Bill Connelly and you’re listening to our programme
“New Horizons”. Tonight’s topic has to do with “hyphenated Americans”, Italian-Americans,
German-Americans, Irish-Americans, African-Americans, Mexican-Americans…
It’s the same old story: penniless immigrants arrive on American shores seeking a new life.
And because they work hard, they manage to have a better life.
But at a time when immigration is such a burning political issue, is the American Dream still
alive?
To answer our questions, we’re pleased to welcome Alejandro Perez. Could you tell us more
about yourself?
Alejandro Perez: Good evening Bill. Well, first of all, let me tell you that the dream is still
alive. Millions of people have uprooted themselves to pursue this dream. It is still very
powerful… I’m from the outskirts of Mexico City... I’ve left my wife and child in Mexico to try
and make it out here in the US. I want them to have better living conditions and a higher
standard of living.
Journalist: How come you were ready to leave everything behind? What made you leave
your native country?
Alejandro: As I said, I had to find a way out of poverty and unemployment. In Mexico,
I was making 600 pesos a month (about $70) as a car mechanic, but that was not enough
to provide my family with the bare necessities.
Journalist: Are jobs in the US better paid?
Alejandro: Yes, even the lowest-paid jobs in the US are worth the sacrifices compared
to the wages we have in Mexico. I earn 8 to 10 times more here. There are so many jobs
available for unskilled workers too… The 2000-km border between our two countries is a
strong magnet.
Journalist: Indeed, over a million Mexicans migrate to the US every year, despite the global
recession. What other reasons forced you to migrate?
Alejandro: The prospects in the US are much greater: material comfort can be reached easily,
excellent med facilities increase life expectancy (it is 4 years more than in Mexico)… I want
my family to join me when the time comes. I hope that my little boy will get a good education.
Journalist: One more question Alejandro… Would you say that there is a Mexican Dream?
Alejandro: Oh, yes, definitely. The real Mexican Dream is that people leave for the US,
find a job, improve their income gradually over the years, get papers, bring their family and
build something in the US, but then later, depending on their age and how they do, go back
to Mexico and retire there.
Journalist: From what we’ve heard tonight we can say that Latinos in the US are at a crossroads economically, politically and culturally. They are a force to be reckoned with! So,
Alejandro, we wish you good luck, and thank you for sharing your experience with us.

a) The Mexicans were lured into the possibility of getting to the other side safely, but were
deceived. They were easy preys who could not do anything and would not denounce their
“killers” as they were undocumented aliens. Their slow descent into hell is that of the end
of a dream. / The trip to freedom has turned into a nightmare. But the most awful / appalling thing of all is that it is for some of them the end of a life… Their lives are at stake and
the tragedy is that their lives are not worth more than $270! What’s more, their death will
probably unnoticed.
b) Michener sides with the Mexicans and focuses on their tragic plight. This is a frightful
narrative which raises the question of “betrayal” (different levels)… The promises of a better
future in the USA are broken by those who use immigration for their own benefit. / They lure
Mexicans to the States to take advantage of their inexperience and gullibility.
The author goes a little further in this story and makes us wonder if America is still a refuge
for the poor and the oppressed (for the “tired” and “huddled masses”, cf. Emma Lazarus’s
poem on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty)… Is the American Dream still within reach
of those outside the US?
4. Meeting Cándido
Reporter: I am about to interview Cándido Guzman, a Mexican, whose dream of coming to
the United States ended in a nightmare. Please tell me why so many Mexicans risk their lives
crossing the border from Mexico to America?
Cándido: A lot of Mexicans have friends or family who live in America and tell them of
the opportunities there. It is only natural to want a better life, which is why my sister and
I decided to risk everything and head for America.
Reporter: Tell me about your journey.
Cándido: We started at the Gulf of Mexico. It wasn’t an easy journey, we had to trudge through
the waters of the Rio Grande and when we reached the American side we paid smugglers a lot
of money each for the privilege of riding in their filthy truck. I should have known then that they
were untrustworthy swindlers, just out for a buck! They abandoned us on the roadside.

Reporter: How did your journey end?
Cándido: Horrifically. Half of the Mexicans perished in the heat, including my sister Manuela.
It was the worst moment of my life.
Reporter: Thank you for sharing your story with us. It is one of the saddest stories I have ever
heard and unfortunately one of many similar accounts about the dangers Mexicans face when
crossing the border.

patrols because they are hostile to newcomers and object to immigration. They want
to prevent undocumented aliens from crossing the border. That’s why they have decided
to watch over the border lying on lawn chairs using binoculars to spot illegal immigrants
and help border patrols catch and arrest them. They want the government to implement

As a tighter border control has been enforced to check the flow of immigrants, adults
and children have been affected. More than 3,000 children have been deported, a number
which has doubled in the first three months of 2006. In order to support an increasing
number of people who object to undocumented aliens crossing the border, some US
Congressmen have suggested they build a fence between Mexico and the US. It is not
surprising that reactions in Latin America should be highly negative, emotional and furious.
➼ Part 1
Arizona is America’s new border flashpoint. No State has more arrests for illegal migration,
no State has more crossing deaths and no State is more roiled by political battles over
immigration. Arizona’s busy border is a place of huge commerce. Workers stream into the
United States from Mexico to labor in some of the world’s most productive fields, picking
row crops such as lettuce, and working in huge agro-business processing plants. [...] 0’35’’
➼ Part 2
But the flow of immigrants is a source of constant controversy. Some have taken the
matters into their own hands. A US citizens group known as “the Minutemen” is conducting
a patrol of the Arizona border. They arrive with binoculars and lawn chairs taking the border
battle into their own hands. [...] 0’54’’

➼ Part 3
Reaction in Latin America was furious. [...] Children and adults are affected. In Arizona,
Mexican authorities say the number of Mexican children who were deported doubled to
more than 3,000 in the first 3 months of 2006. Some in the US Congress have proposed
building a hefty wall along the length of the border. The reaction in Latin America to such
proposals has been highly negative and emotional.
b.
The recording under study is entitled “Arizona: a flashpoint”. It raises a key issue, namely
the problem of immigration. Contrary to other documents, the journalist focuses on Mexican
immigrants only.
He stresses that the immigrants are attracted to the US because of the job opportunities
offered. The immigrants represent a cheap labour force, are employed in the farming industry.
They work as farm labourers, have unskilled or menial jobs.
However, immigration is a highly controversial issue in the States. Some citizens object
to immigration, they patrol the border to prevent immigrants from entering the States.
They are determined to catch / arrest undocumented aliens. The Minutemen patrol
the border to curb immigration, to defend their territory.
They are hostile to the newcomers. Hence, the use of binoculars, helicopters. They resort
to sophisticated equipment to implement a tighter border control.
Some Congress people want a huge fence to be built along the border to enforce tighter
border controls and to check the flow of immigrants.
7. Watch a video: Of hope and justice (Bread & Roses)
N.B. : la fiche élève, son corrigé, le script et l’exploitation de l’extrait se trouvent dans le
DVD-Rom et sur le site compagnon.
k Productions possibles (questions du manuel p. 121) :
a.
Sam and Maya are both marching / demonstrating in the streets of L.A. to protest against
the janitors’ unfair situation and working conditions. Sam is a committed activist and is leading
this movement in his wish to help Maya and all the people like her. As for Maya, she is one
of the people whose names are written on the placards, and she is fighting to get her job back
because she has been unfairly dismissed. They are happy to fight together, and simply be together
as Sam’s invitation to dinner proves. They seem to be close friends engaging in a romance.
b.
In his speech Sam refers to the revolutionary slogan used during the 1912 Lawrence Strike
in Massachusetts (“We want bread and roses”) where textile workers stood up for their
rights and fought against their employers to get higher wages, better living conditions and
respect. Sam takes this as a model to follow and gives the people assembled courage to go
on and win. He wants them to hope, but also get justice done, through unionism. We can see
that the slogan is written on a huge banner and we understand in this very scene why the film
is also entitled “Bread and Roses”.
c.
During Sam’s speech the police were seen approaching the building, so we may assume
that they have come to stop the demonstration – turning into a sit-in – to scatter / break
up the crowd. They might even take them to the Police Station if they resist. There they will
certainly check if they are undocumented aliens / illegal workers…

c. Over the past two and a half years patrols along the border have seized more drugs (+31%),
currency (+75%), weapons (+64%).
From two years ago, apprehensions have been cut by 40%.
Far fewer people are attempting to cross the border illegally.
d. Barack Obama insiste sur le fait que la situation s’est nettement améliorée à la frontière
américano-mexicaine depuis deux ans environ, date à laquelle les forces déployées ont été
renforcées dans le but de dissuader et d’obtenir des résultats probants face aux problèmes
liés à l’immigration clandestine et à la contrebande de drogue, d’armes et d’argent.
b. Barack Obama a choisi d’illustrer ses propos sur le rêve américain grâce à l’exemple
de José. José a immigré très jeune aux États-Unis où il a trouvé un travail d’ouvrier agricole
auquel il consacre beaucoup d’énergie. Parallèlement, il poursuit ses études au lycée
et travaille dur. Après avoir entendu le témoignage d’un spationaute dont le patronyme
révèle ses origines immigrées, José décide qu’il exercera lui aussi ce métier. À force
de travail, José obtient un diplôme universitaire qui le conduit dans un laboratoire
où il collabore au développement d’un nouveau système d’imagerie médicale numérique.
Peu de temps après, il se retrouve à bord de la navette spatiale Discovery, se remémorant
ses rêves d’enfant rendus possible grâce au rêve américain.
b. Selon Barack Obama, la population américaine doit faire savoir au pouvoir législatif
qu’une réforme sur l’immigration est nécessaire et voulue par une majorité grandissante
qui est présente partout dans le pays. D’après lui, la population immigrée représente pour
l’avenir du pays une réelle force économique. Barack Obama souhaite que le rêve américain
perdure, que les États-Unis offrent aux hommes et aux femmes à l’avenir prometteur,
qui souhaitent immigrer aux États-Unis, la possibilité de vivre une vie meilleure, de réaliser
leurs rêves, de développer leurs talents. Il est persuadé que les États-Unis doivent réserver
une place de choix aux hommes et aux femmes porteurs de promesses venus d’horizons
différents. Il est convaincu qu’ainsi les États-Unis bénéficieront de leurs talents et en sortiront plus forts et grandis.
➼ MP3 n° 14
You know, you know, about a week ago, I delivered a commencement address at Miami
Dade Community College, which is one of the most diverse schools in the nation.
The graduates were proud that their class could claim heritage from 181 countries around
the world — 181 countries. (Applause.)
➼ MP3 n° 15
E pluribus unum. Out of many, one. We define ourselves as a nation of immigrants –
a nation that welcomes those willing to embrace America’s ideals and America’s
precepts. That’s why millions of people, ancestors to most of us, braved hardship and great
risk to come here – so they could be free to work and worship and start a business and live
their lives in peace and prosperity.
➼ MP3 n° 16
Over the past two and a half years, we’ve seized 31 percent more drugs, 75 percent more
currency, 64 percent more weapons than ever before. (Applause.) And even as we have
stepped up patrols, apprehensions along the border have been cut by nearly 40 percent
from two years ago. That means far fewer people are attempting to cross the border illegally.

So José studied, and he studied hard. And one day, he’s standing in the fields, collecting
sugar beets, and he heard on a transistor radio that a man named Franklin Chang-Diaz –
a man with a surname like his – was going to be an astronaut for NASA. So José decided –
right there in the field, he decided – well, I could be an astronaut, too.
So José kept on studying, and he graduated high school. And he kept on studying, and
he earned an engineering degree. And he kept on studying, and he earned a graduate
degree. And he kept on working hard, and he ended up at a national laboratory, helping
to develop a new kind of digital medical imaging system.
And a few years later, he found himself more than 100 miles above the surface of the Earth,
staring out of the window of the shuttle Discovery, and he was remembering the boy in
the California fields with that crazy dream that in America everything is possible. (Applause.)
➼ MP3 n° 18
Think about that, El Paso. That’s the American Dream right there. (Applause.)
That’s what we’re fighting for. We are fighting for every boy and every girl like José with a
dream and potential that’s just waiting to be tapped. We are fighting to unlock that promise,
and all that holds not just for their futures, but for America’s future. That’s why we’re going
to get this done.
We need Washington to know that there is a movement for reform that’s gathering strength
from coast to coast. That’s how we’ll get this done. That’s how we can ensure that in the
years ahead we are welcoming the talents of all who can contribute to this country and that
we’re living up to the basic American idea that you can make it here if you try. (Applause.)

Cartoon: Keep Out
This cartoon exemplifies the contradiction that the United States is facing with regard
to immigration. There are two men standing in the middle of a fence, which represents
the Mexico-US border. The first man, who is also the biggest, is Uncle Sam, with an irritated
face, holding a big sign that says “Keep out”. Underneath him is a much smaller man, dressed
in a nice suit, an employer, with a smile on his face, holding a sign that says “Help Wanted”.
Because of these signs, you can tell that they are facing the Mexican side of the border and
both signs are directed towards Mexicans.
Uncle Sam is the symbol of the United States and American people. The sign he is holding,
according to the author, represents the opinions of the American people. They do not want
any more Mexican immigrants coming into the country. Conversely, the man representing
American employers, unlike American people, wants to encourage Mexican immigrants to
keep coming into the country. The reasoning behind the encouragement is that Mexican

immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, are willing to take any type of job with any type of
salary. This is an argument that anti-immigrant Americans use against immigration. They say
that immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens and the jobs that are left are
often low-paid because immigrants bring the salary down.
The employers know, however, that the work ethic of the immigrants is very strong. They
take jobs that Americans won’t do – dishwashers, janitors, maids, etc. — and without any
complaints. As long as there is no agreement between the two, the problem will persist.
Picture: Border wars
The Mexican-American border spans more than 3,000km and is the most frequently crossed
border in the world. For illegal immigrants, it is the point of entry into the United States. Since
most of the border is inhospitable desert and risky river crossings, illegal immigrants face
dangerous situations to cross into the United States.
Immigration has become a hot political issue in the United States in recent years. Antiimmigrant groups argue that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from American citizens
and are a drain on American taxpayers. To them, immigration must be stopped at all costs
and as soon as possible. The most (in)famous of these groups are the Minutemen, a group of
ultra-nationalist, right-wing American citizens. They take their name from the ordinary citizens
who helped fight off the British army during the American Revolution for Independence.
The Minutemen all live in border areas and they take matters into their own hands in what
they feel is an invasion of Mexicans. They believe that the American government is powerless
and / or unwilling to stop illegals from coming into the country and often use the argument
that the people they are trying to keep out are terrorists taking advantage of the length of
the border. They post themselves in the desert in areas they know are frequented
by border crossers and try to catch them, turning them in to border protection authorities
for deportation. However, they do not have any legal right to carry out these actions.
The picture shown depicts the Minutemen “securing” the border to stop immigrants
from coming in. They support building a fence along the Mexico-US border to stop illegal
immigration. The fact that along the fencing they have installed American flags supports
the evidence their organization is racist and discriminatory. The message they are giving
out is that America is only for Americans.
