CNN HEROES
Le SIDA fait des ravages en Afrique. Des millions d’enfants sont orphelins et grandissent
sans pouvoir se construire à travers une image paternelle valorisante. En 2003, Amy
Stokes s’est rendue en Afrique du Sud où elle a adopté un enfant. Afin d’aider ces
orphelins du SIDA, elle a créé « infinitefamily ». Cet organisme met en relation un
enfant orphelin avec un mentor.
Transcript
Presenter: Well on this second week of the new year, we introduce you to the first CNN hero of 2011, every
day people changing the world. We take you to South Africa where nearly two million children have been
orphaned by AIDS. Meet a, meet a woman who is redefining family for hundreds of children left without
role models. Amy Stokes uses the Internet to build meaningful relationships between teens and adults all
over the world.
Amy Stokes: Connor are you gonna help me do this other one? In 2003, my husband and I went to
Johannesburg and we adopted our son. Here you go… HIV AIDS has really decimated some of these
communities. We’ve seen all of the children and so few adults to help them grow up. If none of the adults
you care about has ever lived past thirty-five, then why would you think you can? Why would you stay in
school? Why would you invest in yourself? I had to find a way to bring the caring nurturing effect of other
adults for that child to invest in themselves. I’m Amy Stokes, I use the Internet to create a global village
where the mentors and the kids can interact face to face on a regular basis.
Child: Hi June, how are you?
June: How was your day at school, did you work in the garden?
Amy Stokes: When that mentor shows up every week, a relation starts between one person here and one
person there and then that relationship expands.
Teacher: My mentor is so good, I like him very much.
Amy Stokes: Because they want to connect with that special someone, they are going to learn keyboard
skills, the skills they will need to have jobs and to be able to do whatever they need in the future.
Child: OK, l love you.
June: Love you too, bye!
Child: June is part of my family and also part of my life.
Amy Stokes: It’s a bite size opportunity to change the world, and there’s no commute.

CECRL
Je peux comprendre des mots isolés ou des phrases simples dans un reportage télévisé. – Écouter, A1 / A2
Je peux utiliser les informations contenues dans un reportage pour présenter quelqu’un. – Parler, A1
Démarche possible
I. Faire commenter l’image figée. Donner le lexique nécessaire. Faire émettre des hypothèses sur les liens entre le
garçon et l’adulte.
II. Visionner l’ensemble du reportage et faire restituer l’essentiel de ce qui a été compris.
III. Compréhension détaillée
1. a) Niveau 5e : Faire écouter le présentateur et cocher la bonne réponse. Arrêter après « on this second week of
the new year » afin que les élèves puissent déduire que le reportage a été diffusé en janvier.
b) Faire compléter la dernière phrase de ce que dit le présentateur.
c) et d) Niveau 6e : Ces deux activités permettront de revoir les nombres de onze à vingt et d’inférer les sens
de teens et AIDS. Faire constater en observation réfléchie de la langue que la position du < s > dans les deux
acronymes SIDA et AIDS provient de la syntaxe de la détermination : en anglais le mot le plus important est à la
fin.
2. a) Écoute fractionnée jusqu’à « face to face on a regular basis » et faire compléter le tableau qui pourra être utilisé
en prise de parole en continu. Attirer l’attention des élèves sur ce qui apparaît en haut de l’écran (Yonkers. New
York) il s’agit de l’état et non pas de la ville New York City.
2. b) Le texte lacunaire reprend l’essentiel de ce que dit Amy Stokes. Au niveau 5e, on fera retrouver « I had to find
a way…. What is the problem? Two million children live without their parents. So, … »
3. Visionner la fin de la séquence puis faire retrouver les phrases.
IV. Phonologie. Écouter les huit phrases proposées et faire constater la différence d’intonation entre les déclaratives,
les wh- questions et les yes / no questions .
V. Tâche finale.
a) Niveau 6e : Arrêt sur l’image qui montre Amy Stokes occupée à filmer un adolescent. Aller sur le site www.
infinitefamily.org/stokes.html. Visionner les vidéos dans lesquelles les enfants se présentent. Les élèves se
présentent sur le même modèle.
b) Niveau 5e : Utiliser le tableau de l’activité 2 a) et les phrases de l’activité 3 comme aide à une prise de parole
en continu afin de présenter Amy Stokes et ce qu’elle a fait.
