Séance1 - Introduction de la thématique Gothique & travail sur l’histoire de Frankenstein -
Activités langagières dominantes de la séance: Compréhension orale, écrite et expression orale.

          Accueil des élèves dans le noir. Des lampes torches éclaireront la salle + musique
           gothique.

          Phase 1 :
          - Anticipation de la thématique générale avec le mot « Gothic » inscrit au tableau.
             What is “Gothic” for you?
      (Selon la plupart des élèves, le gothique se résume à un style vestimentaire ou encore
     musical. C’était ainsi l’occasion de leur montrer un autre aspect du « Gothique » tout en
     réactivant le vocabulaire vu au cours d’une séquence portant sur Halloween).

          Phase 2 :
     Vidéo sur le Gothic + fiche de travail.
     On aurait pu demander aux élèves de retrouver la définition du gothique, par eux-mêmes, au
     travers d'extraits filmiques et romanciers que je projetais d’étudier avec eux, mais je voulais
     leur donner un canevas de départ à partir duquel la définition allait être complexifiée.
          Compréhension orale : Ma vidéo sur le Gothique2.
             (Leur faire compléter la fiche sur les caractéristiques du gothique en leur donnant des
             synonymes de certains mots inconnus tels que « gloom »).
             1) Projection de la vidéo
             2) Lecture de la fiche
             3) Projection de la vidéo + fill in the document about « Gothic »
             4) Correction

          Phase 3 : Frankenstein
     Jeu de piste : les élèves sont invités à se déplacer dans la classe, à courir pour reconstituer le
     résumé de Frankenstein. Travaillant en îlot, les groupes sont naturellement constitués. (Leur
     préciser qu’il y aura une récompense à la clé : des bonbons en forme d’araignée).

     Sur leur table une enveloppe. Dans l’enveloppe leur annoncer le jeu et l’énigme.

     Disposer des boîtes sur une table au fond de la salle dans lesquelles il y aura les morceaux du
     résumé de l’histoire de Frankenstein. Sur chacune des boîtes, coller une image qui renverra à
     un indice.

     Effacer des lettres dans cette annonce qui, une fois retrouvées puis reconstituées, formeront
     le premier mot / indice - indice qui aura un lien étroit avec l’une des images sur les boîtes.
     Une fois l’indice identifié et relié à la boîte, les élèves peuvent l’ouvrir et prendre l’un des
     morceaux du résumé. Sur ce même passage de ce résumé d’autres lettres auront été effacées.
     Ces lettres formeront un mot renvoyant à une autre des images collées sur les boîtes etc…
     (ceci garantira une première lecture plus ou moins active du résumé).

          Phase 4 :
     Une fois tous les extraits du résumé en leur possession, les élèves devront le remettre dans
     l’ordre puis résumer à nouveau l’histoire avec leurs propres mots. Par la suite ils devront
     identifier les différents endroits dans lesquels Frankenstein s’est rendu pour retracer son
     itinéraire sur la carte. L’objectif étant de montrer aux élèves que Frankenstein est ancré en
     Haute-Savoie.
     (succès garanti !)

Résumé de Frankenstein

                                                 Frankenstein

                                                 Mary Shelley

The story of Frankenstein takes place in Europe in the 1790’s. It opens with the letters of
Captain Robert Walton to his sister. The letters tell the story of Victor Frankenstein and
his monster.

Walton decided to explore the North Pole where he met Frankenstein, lost and sick. He
rescued him. Frankenstein then told him his story.

Frankenstein describes his early life near the Leman Lake. He grew up in a Swiss family
with his adopted cousin Elizabeth and his friend Clerval. As he grew up, after reading a
book Agrippa Corneille near Thonon les bains 5, Frankenstein became obsessed with
bizarre theories about creating humans and he finally managed to create a monster.
Disgusted by the ugliness of the creature Frankenstein decided to run away from him.

The monster wandered like a vagabond near Geneva and finally realized he was rejected
by society. He observed a family and finally became educated. One day, because he wanted
to have a friend he kidnapped a little boy called William but he decided to kill him.

Frankenstein went back home for his little brother’s funeral which took place at the foot of
the Salève. He realized that the monster killed William. Walking in the Mont Blanc,
Frankenstein met with the monster who asked then his creator to create a female partner
for him but Frankenstein after starting his creation abandoned it.

Frankenstein’s decision not to create a female partner for the monster caused the death of
his father, of his wife Elizabeth and of Clerval. The revengeful monster killed them to
punish Frankenstein.

After telling his story, Frankenstein died on Walton’s expedition. The monster mourning
the death of his creator decides to commit suicide.

  Mary Shelley, Frankenstein chapter 1 « When I was thirteen years of age, we all went on a party of pleasure to the
baths near Thonon ». Les “baths” auxquelles il fait allusion sont les thermes d’Evian qui rencontraient un grand
succès à ce moment-là. La carte postale ci-dessous révèle la configuration de la ville à l’époque et a permis à mes
élèves de s’ancrer dans la réalité du roman. Ils ont apprécié le fait que l’histoire de Frankenstein se soit en partie
déroulée dans la ville d’Evian, celle qu’ils voient tous les jours et qu’ils ont observée avec beaucoup d’égard et
d’attention depuis la salle de classe.

il s’agissait pour moi de montrer aux élèves la différence entre lire une histoire et raconter une histoire ainsi que
l’importance de capter l’attention de son auditoire en modulant sa voix.

[to] infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet13. It was already one in
the morning; the rain pattered14 dismally against the panes15, and my candle was nearly burnt
out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull16 yellow eye of the
creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion17 agitated its limbs.

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe […]? His limbs18 were in proportion, and
I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! -- Great God! His yellow skin scarcely19

                                            Vlad the Impaler22

Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia (1431–1476), was a member of the House of Drăculești, a branch
of the House of Basarab, also known by his patronymic name: Dracula. He was posthumously
called Vlad the Impaler (Romanian: Vlad Țepeș pronounced [ˈvlad ˈtsepeʃ]), and was a three-
time Voivode of Wallachia, ruling mainly from 1456 to 1462, the period of the incipient
Ottoman conquest of the Balkans. His father, Vlad II Dracul, was a member of the Order of the
Dragon, which was founded to protect Christianity in Eastern Europe.
Vlad III is revered as a hero in Bulgaria. A significant number of Bulgarian common folk and
remaining boyars (nobles) moved north of the Danube, recognized his leadership and became
part of Wallachia, following his raids on the Ottomans.
As the cognomen 'The Impaler' suggests, his practice of impaling his enemies is central to his
historical reputation. During his lifetime, his reputation for excessive cruelty spread abroad, to
Germany and elsewhere in Europe. The total number of his victims is estimated in the tens of
thousands. The name of the vampire Count Dracula in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula was
inspired by Vlad's patronymic.
His Romanian patronymic Dragwlya (or Dragkwlya) Dragulea, Dragolea, Drăculea is a
diminutive of the epithet Dracul carried by his father Vlad II , who in 1431 was inducted as a
member of the Order of the Dragon, a chivalric order founded by Sigismund of Hungary in 1408.
Dracula literally means "Son of the Dragon". In Modern Romanian, the word drac has adopted
the meaning of "devil" (the term for "dragon" now being balaur or dragon). This has led to
misinterpretations of Vlad's epithet as characterizing him as "devilish".
Vlad's cognomen Țepeș ("Impaler") hints at his favourite method of execution. It was attached to
his name posthumously, in ca. 1550.

Early life
Vlad was born in Sighișoara, Transylvania, in the Kingdom of Hungary (today part of Romania),
in the winter of 1431 to Vlad II Dracul, future voivode of Wallachia. Vlad's father was the son of
the celebrated Voivode Mircea the Elder.

Reputation for cruelty
Even during his lifetime, Vlad III Țepeș became famous as a tyrant taking sadistic pleasure in
torturing and killing. He is shown in crypto-portraits made during his lifetime in the role of cruel
rulers or executioners. After Vlad's death, his cruel deeds were reported with macabre gusto in
popular pamphlets in Germany, reprinted from the 1480s until the 1560s, and to a lesser extent in
Tsarist Russia.
Impalement was Vlad's preferred method of torture and execution. Several woodcuts from
German pamphlets of the late 15th and early 16th centuries show Vlad feasting in a forest of
stakes and their grisly burdens outside Brașov, while a nearby executioner cuts apart other
victims. It was reported that an invading Ottoman army turned back in fright when it
encountered thousands of rotting corpses on the banks of the Danube. It has also been said that in
1462 Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man noted for his own psychological
warfare tactics, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of 20,000 impaled
corpses outside Vlad's capital of Târgoviște.

Count Dracula of Transylvania…

Jonathan goes to Dracula’s castle in the Carpathians and he starts
to see strange things. He discovers that he is a prisoner of Dracula’s

Jonathan’s life, his family, his fiancée Mina and her beautiful friend
Lucy…

While Jonathan is locked away in Dracula’s castle. Dracula travels to England
changing shape several times (dog, bat, green mist). Once in England he turns Lucy
into a dreadful vampire. Van Helsing a vampire slayer convinces Lucy’s fiancé to
kill her by cutting her head and thrusting a stake through her heart…

Jonathan escapes from Dracula’s castle and is
reunited with Mina, his fiancée but soon after that,

Dracula
                          by Bram Stoker (1897)
                                Chapter 2
Jonathan Harker left London to go to Transylvania. He is now in Dracula’s
castle. (Here is an extract from his journal)

8 May. — […] I only slept a few hours […] and […] got up. I had hung my shaving28
glass by the window, and was just beginning to shave [when] suddenly I felt a hand on
my shoulder, and heard the Count's voice saying to me, "Good morning." […]I had
not seen him [although] the reflection of the glass covered the whole room behind me.
[…] I had cut myself slightly, but did not notice it at the moment. Having answered the
Count's salutation, I turned to the glass again to see […] there could be no error,
[because] the man was close to me, and I could see him over my shoulder, but there was
no reflection of him in the mirror! The whole room behind me was displayed 29, but there
was no sign of a man in it, except myself.

[…] I saw that the cut30 had bled a little, and the blood was trickling31 over my chin32.
[…]. When the Count saw my face, his eyes blazed 33 with a sort of demoniac fury, and he
suddenly made a grab34 at my throat. I drew away35 and his hand touched […] the
crucifix […]. Then he withdrew36 without a word. […]

I went into the dining room, breakfast was prepared, but I could not find the Count
anywhere. So I breakfasted alone. It is strange that as yet, I have not seen the Count eat or
drink. He must be a very peculiar37 man! After breakfast I did a little exploring in the
castle. I went out on the stairs, and found a room looking towards the South.

The view was magnificent […] The castle is on the very edge of a terrific precipice. A
stone falling from the window would fall a thousand feet38 without touching anything! As
far as the eye can reach is a sea of green tree tops39, with occasionally a deep rift where
there is a chasm40. […]

But I am not in heart to describe beauty, [because] when I had seen the view I explored
further41. Doors, doors, doors everywhere, and all locked […]

The castle is a veritable prison, and I am a prisoner!

The Art of Story-telling
1)      Listen to the extract and highlight
-in green : the stressed words
-in yellow : the pauses
-in orange : the passages where the voice is low

8 May. — […] I only slept a few hours […] and […] got up. I had hung my shaving43
glass by the window, and was just beginning to shave [when] suddenly I felt a hand
on my shoulder, and heard the Count's voice saying to me, "Good morning." […]I
had not seen him [although] the reflection of the glass covered the whole room behind
me. […] I had cut myself slightly, but did not notice it at the moment. Having answered

no reflection of him in the mirror! The whole room behind me was displayed 44, but there
was no sign of a man in it, except myself.

[…] I saw that the cut45 had bled a little, and the blood was trickling46 over my chin47.
[…]. When the Count saw my face, his eyes blazed 48 with a sort of demoniac fury, and
he suddenly made a grab49 at my throat. I drew away50 and his hand touched […] the
crucifix […]. Then he withdrew51 without a word. […]

I went into the dining room, breakfast was prepared, but I could not find the Count
anywhere. So I breakfasted alone. It is strange that as yet, I have not seen the Count eat
or drink. He must be a very peculiar 52 man!

    entre film et texte-
Activités langagières dominantes de la séance : Compréhension écrite et expression orale.

    Phase 1 :
    Appel// Warming up// Rebrassage

    Phase 2 :

    Après avoir décrit au présent les images du story-board (m’assurant ainsi de la bonne
    compréhension de l’extrait) les élèves sont amenés à raconter l’histoire au passé. Il faut
    insister sur le fait que le temps du récit est le passé simple. Noter au tableau les mots:
    Where ? When ? Who ? What ?

    Productions attendues :
    The document is an extract from Dracula (chapter 2) written by Bram Stoker. It is taken from
    Jonathan’s journal. The story takes place on the 8th of May at night in the Carpathians in
    Transylvania, in Dracula’s castle.
    At the beginning, Jonathan was shaving when suddenly Dracula touched him on his
    shoulder. Jonathan didn’t see Dracula’s reflection on the mirror, startled/ surprised he cut
    himself.
    Then he eventually understood that a lot of strange things were happening and that he was
    the Count’s prisoner.

    Phase 3 :
    PRL (voir fiche)
    Exercice d’application :
    Pour que les élèves s’imprègnent de la structure, j’ai donné des exemples en français à
    traduire…
    Les élèves devaient piocher dans une boîte plusieurs phrases en français à traduire. J’ai
    utilisé leurs prénoms pour rendre l’exercice amusant.

    Exemples :
        Les 4eme 8 étaient en train de danser quand soudain(ement), Mickael Jackson arriva.
        Marie était en train de chanter avec les One Direction quand soudain(ement), Pierre
          poussa un cri.

    Phase 4 :

    l’accélération de la voix…
    Moduler le son de sa voix.

          Fiche de prononciation= Enregistrement de l’histoire

    53
       J’ai choisi d’enregistrer ma voix bien que je ne sois pas native. Outre la dimension phonologique très importante
    il s’agissait pour moi de montrer aux élèves la différence entre lire et raconter et l’importance de capter l’attention
    de son auditoire en modulant sa voix.

Différences entre film et texte. What are the differences between the movie and the text?
Insister sur le fait qu’il faut repérer les éléments divergents mais qui sont traités aussi bien
dans le texte que dans le film.

Phase 7 :
Trace écrite:
 Dracula by Bram Stoker: The Shaving scene (Chapter 2)
 The document is an extract from Dracula (chapter 2) written by Bram Stoker. It is taken
 from Jonathan’s journal. The story takes place on the 8th of May at night in the Carpathians
 in Transylvania, in Dracula’s castle.
 At the beginning, Jonathan was shaving when suddenly Dracula touched him on his
 shoulder. Jonathan didn’t see Dracula’s reflection on the mirror ; startled/ surprised, he cut
 himself.
 Then he eventually understood that a lot of strange things were happening and that he was
 the Count’s prisoner.

 Differences between the text and the movie54: (Introduction de la structure contrastive
 “while”)
 In the movie the date given by Jonathan’s voice over is not the 8 th of May while in the text
 it is taking place on the 8th of May.
 Moreover, in the movie, Dracula breaks the mirror using his superpowers; he also licks
 Jonathan’s blood on the razor while in the text he doesn’t.

Homework :
Etre capable de raconter ce qui se passe dans la scène du rasoir.
Fiche vocabulaire (mots croisés) réactivant le lexique Gothique (vu au cours de la séquence ou
rencontré à l’occasion d’un projet antérieur portant sur Halloween).

  Le parallèle établi permet de montrer aux élèves que l’adaptation cinématographique d’un roman ne consiste
pas en une répétition de l’œuvre originale.

                                  - Intérêt de l’utilisation de Twiducate -
               Imiter Jonathan Harker dans la scène du miroir.
               Transposition du support épistolaire aux technologies de notre époque
               Favoriser l’interaction. Après avoir posté leur message, les élèves doivent poster
              des commentaires à leur binôme. Réagir à l’histoire.
               Les élèves ont complètement adhéré au format de la tâche intermédiaire et
              continuent à poster des messages.

                                                    Exemples de productions :

       I was in a gloomy castle in South Africa; there were spiders and two skeletons
       dancing on the floor. I was brushing my hair when suddenly a creepy zombie
       took my hand and kissed me!

Séance 8 –Extrait de Dracula, Jonathan Harker et les Brides-
Activités langagières dominantes de la séance : Compréhension orale

Phase 1 :
   Anticipation
Projection de 3 images: Chambre… Expression (visage) de Jonathan + Image de la BD
“Something strange happened last night but I can’t remember what…”

Le point de départ de cette étape d’anticipation: “Something strange happened last night but
I can’t remember what…”

What can you say?

 Productions attendues :
 There are 3 pictures. On the first one Jonathan looks scared. On the second one he is
 sitting on the bed. On the last one, he says “Something strange happened last night but
 I can’t remember what”
 Jonathan doesn’t know what happened to him last night.

Phase 2 :

Distribution du document écrit (Extrait coupé pour amener par la suite les élèves à émettre
des suppositions sur ce qui est arrivé à Jonathan):
Présentation du document
(cf. méthodologie)
    Have a look at the document… What can you say?

 Productions attendues:
 It’s a text taken from Dracula (chapter 4). It’s an extract from Jonathan’s journal. The
 document is composed of a text and of a picture.

Phase 3:

Une fois cette étape passée, je demande aux élèves de reconstruire le sens en répondant aux
questions suivantes (inscrites au tableau) :

        Who/ What/Where?

Productions attendues:
Jonathan slept in his room in Dracula’s castle. When he woke up he understood that weird/
strange events happened last night.

Phase 4:

    Now I want you to read the text and underline all the sentences referring to strange
     things that happened to Jonathan.
    Then underline Jonathan’s assumptions (suppositions) / the things Jonathan thinks
     happened to him.
    Le but de cette étape est non seulement de faire découvrir aux élèves le sens du texte
     mais aussi et surtout de les mettre dans la même position que Jonathan Harker,
     ignorant les faits de la veille au soir.

Productions attendues :

 the Count must have carried me here
 If it was the Count [who] carried me here and undressed me, he must have been hurried in his
    task
Certaines de mes classes ont voulu transposer au discours indirect les explications de Jonathan.
He thought that the Count must have carried him there. Dracula must have undressed him very
quickly.

Réflexion sur la langue: (fiche polycopiée)

Exercices d’application:
Make assumptions on what happened to Jonathan.

Productions attendues:
Jonathan must have been sleepwalking.
Dracula must have been in Jonathan’s room.
The count must have drunk Jonathan’s blood.

Trace écrite:
 It’s a text taken from Dracula (chapter 4). It’s an extract from Jonathan’s journal. The
 document is composed of a text and of a picture.
 Jonathan slept in his room in Dracula’s castle. When he woke up he understood that weird/
 strange events happened last night.
 He thought that the Count must have carried him here. Dracula must have undressed him
 very quickly.
 The 4eme 4’s assumptions:
 Jonathan must have been sleepwalking.
 Dracula must have been in Jonathan’s room.
 The count must have drunk Jonathan’s blood.

 New words:
 To sleepwalk
 To make assumptions: To make suppositions

                                           Bram Stoker
                                            Chapter 4

(Jonathan Harker's Journal Continued)

I awoke in my own bed. If […] I had not dreamt, the
Count must have carried me here. I tried to satisfy myself
on the subject56, but could not arrive at any
unquestionable result. […] My clothes were folded57 […]
in a [certain] manner which was not my habit58. My
watch was still unwound59, and I am rigorously
accustomed to wind it […] before going to bed […] …
But these things are no proof60, […] I had certainly been
much upset. I must watch for proof. Of one thing I am
glad. If […] the Count carried me here and undressed me,
he must have been hurried61 in his task, [because] my
pockets are intact. I am sure this diary would have been a
mystery to him which he would not have brooked62. He
would have taken or destroyed it…

56
   I tried to understand what happened to me.

-Le modal Must-

Observe les phrases suivantes et choisi quelle traduction convient le mieux à
chacune d’entre elles.

   1) I must watch for proof.
   2) The Count must have carried me here.

   a) Le Comte m’a certainement porté jusqu’ici.
   b) Je dois chercher des preuves.

1
2

  Must peut être utilisé de 2 manières différentes. Il a donc plusieurs
  valeurs.
  Le contexte est donc très important pour déterminer de quelle valeur il
  s’agit.

  Il peut exprimer une …………………………………….. que l’on s’impose,
    une sorte de devoir. (Phrase n° )
ou
  Il peut exprimer une ……………………………. et l’énonciateur en est
    quasiment certain. (Phrase n° )

Pour exprimer une quasi-certitude en anglais on construit la phrase de la
  manière suivante :
 Sujet+ Must + Present perfect : Aux Have –Participe passé + complément.
