This window on zoom is a rewriting of Pink Floyd's world-famous song:

"Another Brick in the wall." whose lyrics were short too. 

The video is like a movie. It lasts 6 minutes. You'll easily find it!

You had heard of Pink Floyd, hadn't you?

History - Not for easily impressed people

In April 2018, yes, it takes time for the truth to come out. The "museification" of one of the darkest hours of that huge country, the USA. (14 times France, remember.)

So here is the official site of the Legacy Museum:  From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration.

Payzee Mahmod | TEDxLondonWomen - A true story.

Over my thirty four years of teaching, pupils and students have often told me that they like true stories.

Here is a gut-wrenching one. This TEDxLondonWomen talk lasts 18mn.

It's worth the while. Those of my pupils who will tell me at what time she says in this 18'45'' vid :
 

" Childhood, up to 18 should be a time to learn, to grow and to pursue your dreams.", 

So those pupils who will tell me when she says that in the video ;-) will get a good grade... 

They can even ask, in the comment section of this post, some indication... I do want you all to succeed in learning English as your second language, or third or fourth. The larger the number of languages we speak, the better.
