1) No class on Tuesday: conseil de classe.
2) Notes for last week's lesson:
The film "Mona Lisa Smile", directed by Mike Newell, was released in 2002.
The ending/closing credits clearly depict the consumption of the society of the period, that is to say / i.e. of the 1950s.
(CAREFUL: it is better to say "the consumer society of the 1950s")
They (= The credits) also show to what extent (= dans quelle mesure / à quel point) women were used to promote consumption.
>> This lesson will be on Dec. 19th's Mini Test.
3) Homework for Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th:
>> Make a list of the themes dealt with / that the film deals with
>> Choose two characters: the one you liked the most, and the one you liked the least. If possible, make it one from the group of adults, and the other from the group of students.
>>> draw a quick portrait of each of the characters you have chosen, and explain why you have chosen them.
