Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence. He had 17 half sisters and brothers. Although suffering from paralysis of the right hand, he was still able to draw and teach. Leonardo died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. Growing up in his father’s home, Leonardo was exposed to Vinci’s painting tradition, and when he was about 15 his father apprenticed him as a painter to the famous workshop of Andrea del Verrochio in Florence. Even as an apprentice, Leonardo demonstrated his colossal talent. Leonardo stayed in the Verrocchio workshop until 1477. About 1503, Leonardo reportedly began work on the “Mona Lisa.” From 1513 to 1516, he worked in Rome, maintaining a workshop and undertaking a variety of projects for the Pope. The Duke kept Leonardo busy painting and sculpting. From 1485 to 1490, Leonardo also designed weapons (tanks, submarines), flying machines, buildings and machinery. In 1499, Leonardo had to search for a new patron. Over the next 16 years, Leonardo worked and traveled throughout Italy for a number of employers, including the cruel Cesare Borgia. In search of new challenges, he entered the service of the Duke of Milan in 1482. He spent 17 years in Milan, leaving only after Duke Ludovico Sforza’s fall from power in 1499. Following the death of his patron1 Giuliano de’ Medici in March of 1516, he was offered the title of Premier Painter and Engineer and Architect of the King by Francis I2 in France. His last and perhaps most generous patron, Francis I provided Leonardo with a comfortable manor house near the royal chateau at Amboise.

Step 11 1- During your last adventure in the 16th century, you interviewed Leonardo Da Vinci. You did very well, but your questions did not sound really authentic because you just asked your questions and probably did not use gap fillers.
Read the script of Leonardo.
Leonardo: Welcome to the 16th century, my dear Time Traveler. I am very happy to make your acquaintance. I am sure you have a lot of questions to ask me if you want to discover which objects you are going to bring back to the present, so please, do ask your first question.
[Time Traveler]
Leonardo: Let’s see… I was born in the 15th century, more exactly on April 15, 1452. That was a long time ago, April 15, 1452… What else would you like to know?
[Time Traveler]
Leonardo: Now then… Listen to my pronunciation of the English language. You have probably guessed. I’m Italian. I was born in Vinci, in Italy, not far from Florence. I’m sure you would like to know my age.
[Time Traveler]
Leonardo: Well, I’m 65 years old. I am quite old and I suffer from paralysis of the right hand. But that’s not the point. What is your next question, my dear Time Traveler?
[Time Traveler]
Leonardo: Oh dear! No, I never married, I made the portrait of a very beautiful lady, though. Would you like to know something else about my family?
[Time Traveler]
Leonardo: Er…, I had 17 half brothers and sisters. Just imagine, 17 half brothers and sisters! But most of them are dead now.

All the highlighted sentences of the script convey a message. The words or expressions which have not been highlighted are gap fillers, that is to say, they do not convey a message but are very useful to articulate an oral message. They can: a) give you time to think
Ex: Er…. / Let’s see… b) announce a new subject of conversation
Ex: Well… / Now then,… c) express surprise
Ex: Oh dear! 2- Get used to pronouncing these gap fillers. Listen to Leonardo and repeat.

Dans cette leçon, le point de repère dans le passé est l’âge d’Edison, 16 ans. Je peux faire le bilan de ce que je sais de sa vie à ce moment-là : - He had learned telegraphy. - He worked as a telegraph operator.
Tu pourrais traduire la phrase par : À 16 ans, il avait déjà appris la télégraphie et travaillait comme opérateur.
Exercise 8 Use the expression by the time to write about Edison’s professional life.

Séance 6 Je rédige une biographie à partir de notes Ta présentation orale est presque prête. Tu souhaiterais donner à tes camarades de classe une biographie de Thomas Edison, afin qu’ils aient une trace écrite de ton exposé. Tu reprends la biographie de Léonard de Vinci qui est dans ton jeu et observes sa construction afin de t’en inspirer.
je rédige une biographie Step 14
1- Read the biography of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence. He had 17 half brothers and sisters. Growing up in his father’s home, Leonardo was exposed to Vinci’s tradition, and he was about 15 when his father apprenticed him as a painter to the famous workshop of Andrea del Verrochio in Florence. Even as an apprentice, Leonard demonstrated his colossal talent.Leonardo stayed in Verrochio workshop until 1477. In search of new talents, he entered the service of the Duke of Milan in 1482. He spent 17 years in Milan, leaving only after Duke Ludoviko Sforza’s fall from power in 1499. The Duke kept Leonardo busy painting and sculpting. From 1485 to 1490, Leonardo also designed weapons (tanks, submarines), flying machines, buildings and machinery. In 1499, Leonardo was left to search for a new patron. Over the next 16 years, Leonardo worked and traveled throughout Italy for a number of employers, including the cruel Cesare Borgia. About 1503, Leonardo reportedly worked on the “Mona Lisa”. From 1513 to 1516, he worked in Rome, maintaining a workshop and undertaking a variety of projects for the Pope. Following the death of his patron Guiliano de’ Medici in March of 1516, he was offered the title of Premier Painter and engineer and architect of the king by Francis I in France. His last and perhaps most generous patron, Francis I provided Leonardo with a comfortable manor house near the royal chateau in Amboise. Although suffering from paralysis of the right hand, he was still able to draw and teach. Leonardo died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. 2- Indicate in each box the sort of data given using the following titles (Indique dans chaque case le type d’information donné en utilisant les titres suivants) :
- date and place of death
- date and place of birth
- important events in professional life
- early professional life
- family life © Cned, Anglais 3e —

3- You already have a lot of data about Thomas Edison’s life. Check your notes. Have you got all the necessary pieces of information?
Interview memo Private life
Date and place of birth: February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio
Age at the time of the meeting: 35 Family: married, 3 children Professional life Occupation: inventor
Important events:

Remember, you met Thomas Edison in 1882. He was not dead yet. You should look for two very important pieces of information if you want your biography to be complete. Which ones? (Souviens-toi, tu as rencontré Thomas Edison en 1882. Il n’était pas encore
mort. Tu devrais aller à la recherche de deux informations importantes pour compléter ta biographie. Lesquelles ?)
..................................................................................................................................... ..................................................................................................................................... 4- Log on to the Internet to find the missing data. You can type Thomas Edison and choose the Wikipedia site. Apart from the necessary data, you will find on the site a very interesting sound document: you can listen to Thomas Edison reciting a poem. He made this first recording on the phonograph he had invented in 1877. (Va sur
l’Internet pour trouver les informations qui te manquent. Tu peux taper Thomas Edison et choisir le site Wikipedia. À part les informations que tu recherches tu peux trouver aussi un très bon document sonore : c’est le premier enregistrement de la voix de Thomas Edison sur le phonographe qu’il a inventé en 1877.)
Check and correct.

Leonardo was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence. He had 17 half brothers and sisters. He was born on 15 August 1769 in Corsica into the gentry. Educated at military school, he was rapidly promoted and in 1796, was made commander of the French army in Italy. Growing up in his father’s home, Leonardo was exposed to Vinci’s tradition, and he was about 15 when his father apprenticed him as a painter to the famous workshop of Andrea del Verrochio in Florence. Even as an apprentice, Leonard demonstrated his colossal talent.Leonardo stayed in Verrochio workshop until 1477.
In search of new talents, he entered the service of the Duke of Milan in 1482. He spent 17 years in Milan, leaving only after Duke Ludovico Sforza’s fall from power in 1499. The Duke kept Leonardo busy painting and sculpting. From 1485 to 1490, Leonardo also designed weapons (tanks, submarines), flying machines, buildings and machinery. In a coup d’état in November 1799, he became first consul. In 1802, he was made consul for life and two years later, emperor.
In 1499, Leonardo was left to search for a new patron. Over the next 16 years, Leonardo worked and traveled throughout Italy for a number of employers, including the cruel Cesare Borgia. In 1800, he defeated the Austrians at Marengo. Britain inflicted a naval defeat on the French at Trafalgar (1805) so he abandoned plans to invade England and turned on the Austro-Russian forces, defeating them at Austerlitz later the same year. About 1503, Leonardo reportedly worked on the “Mona Lisa”. From 1513 to 1516, he worked in Rome, maintaining a workshop and undertaking a variety of projects for the Pope. Following the death of his patron Guiliano de’ Medici in March of 1516, he was offered the title of Premier Painter and engineer and architect of the king by Francis I in France. His last and perhaps most generous patron, Francis I provided Leonardo with a comfortable manor house near the royal chateau in Amboise.
Although suffering from paralysis of the right hand, he was still able to draw and teach. Leonardo died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. His invasion of Russia in 1812 resulted in a disastrous retreat. The Battle of Waterloo ended his brief reign. The British imprisoned him on the remote Atlantic island of St. Helena where he died on 5 May 1821. © Cned, Anglais 3e —
