Translate today's lesson

Si une catastrophe majeure se produisait, beaucoup d’Américains seraient indépendants et préparés L’histoire des premiers pionniers a encouragé un sentiment américan d’autonomie. Si les gens grandissent avec ces valeurs, ils s’intéresseront souvent au survivalisme. Pendant la Guerre froide, beaucoup de familles construisaient des abris antiatomiques.S’il y avait une guerre nucléaire aujourd’hui, certaines familles se cacheraient dans des bunkers. Aujourd’hui, beaucoup d’Américains pensent que la sécurité est une responsabilité personnelle.Si le gouvernement ne réagissait pas rapidement, les citoyens devraient survivre seuls. Enfin si il n'y avait pas la société de consommation, beaucoup d’Américains n'achèteraient pas des kits d’urgence, des générateurs ou des armes pour se sentir plus en sécurité.

2/ You are going to watch a video about preppers. What do you expect to see?

A/ CrazyB/ RationalC/ Victims of somethings

What Would Your Group Keep? You can only keep THREE prepper strategies from the videos. As a group: * choose the 3 most useful strategies * explain why you would keep them * explain why you would reject the others ⚠️ Use the conditional: 🗣️ Be ready to justify your choices. Example: If there were a disaster, we would keep solar energy because it could provide electricity after a disaster. We would reject the sniper strategy because it seems too dangerous and unrealistic.
