Painting the Walls

Emma's friends help her paint her school, the school gets its name, and a video call from Chicago gives Hugo away to Emma's mother. Ask what colour to paint a wall, name light and dark colours, talk about brushes and rollers, say "it will be called", talk about posters, sign-ups and a website, say "you didn't tell me anything!", "I have to go" and "go on!".

THE STORY

It's Saturday the twenty-second of May. The old shop in the Croix-Rousse is Emma's now. Chloe, Karim, Hugo and Leo have come to help, all in old clothes, with pots of paint and a cake from Monsieur Petit. In the afternoon, Emma's mother calls from Chicago to see the school, and she sees someone else on the screen too. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
