VISIONS OF THE FUTURE
POSSIBLE? PROBABLE? CERTAIN?
A lot of things might happen in the future. Just like science-fiction, let's try to imagine what the world will be like in hundreds or thousands of years...
POSSIBILITY: "possibly", "probably", "it may..." or "maybe".
CERTAINTY: "surely", "without a doubt", "it will..." or "it won't".

A SONG ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
CREATE A FUTURISTIC DIALOGUE
In this video Korben is having breakfast. He is talking with his friend the caterer about something you will have to imagine yourself. Think of all the things we talked about in class (global warming, robots, endangered species, space colonies...) and create the dialogue.
A NOVEL ABOUT THE FUTURE
We read an extract from this novel in class. This was the beginning of chapter 2.
EXTRA
Given the fact that we talked a lot about TV ads, campaigns and posters, here is a link to a 16-minute animation movie called "LOGORAMA". It was directed by three french men, François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy et Ludovic Houplain.
"Welcome to the future class."
