In one hot summer afternoon last June, I was in my room sitting near the window having
some fruits and playing with my oud. Outside, the sky was blue and two little girls were
running with their umbrellas, There was also a cat sleeping under the tree and a huge bug
walking on the leaves and ducks were swimming in the lake. Then, I put on my shoes and

M.S 3 Teacher: Moudjib Arrahmane Khelil
Presentation: The teacher introduces the situation Task page 77.
Our English and history teachers asked you to organise a photo and postcard exhibition
with accompanying captions and short descriptive and narrative texts comparing life in some
Algerian cities about a hundred years ago and today (dwellings, architecture, people, dress,
transport, etc.). I decided to display photos and old postcards of Setif and Constantine and write
comparative texts about these two cities.
Practice: The teacher provides the learners with "Layout page 79" and some other
information and asks them to start gathering information for their paragraphs, engage in the task
by controlling, monitoring, have peer correction before posting and offering help when needed.
They should use the information that they have already seen in the previous lessons.
Some useful information about: "Setif" and "Constantine".
thePolitics: In the past: Under the French rule/ Algerian people were colonized and work for
colonizer. In the present: Algerian government rule/ People are free citizens and work for
their own welfare.
Dressing: In the past: Women wore the "Haiek" and men wore "Turkish pants" and "Kachabia". In
the present: Wear all kinds of clothes (traditional or modern).
Dwelling: In the past: Old houses of mud, tents, low and narrow quarters.
Transport: In the past: Carriages, animals backs, on foot, cars and bus.
Schooling: In the past: A few privileged went to school, but most of the population was
illiterate.In the present: All children must attend school at the age of 6.
Production: The teacher asks the learners to start writing their paragraphs.
The learners produce their own paragraphs, present them and let the classmates check,
take notes and assess the work.
Example:
One hundred years ago, Setif and Constantine weren't like today. They were less large.
People used to go from one place to another on foot, horseback, or by cart. There were nice
building and paved streets lined with trees. When they went out, women used to were white
piece of cloth ("Haiek") or black piece of cloth ("Mleya") to cover their bodies. Men used to
wear long dresses ("Gandouras"), traditional coats ("Kachabia"), or ("Burnous").
Nowadays, Setif and Constantine have changed. They have become large. As a result,
means of transport have developed. People take the bus, the train, the tramway, or use their
cars to go to work, to go shopping, to visit friends and relatives, and so on. Contrary to the
past, the construction of buildings isn't as well organized as it used to be. Concerning dress
and clothes, people wear European clothes or religious ones like the ("Hijab").
As a conclusion, the two cities Setif and Constantine have changed with the years.
People's lifestyles are influenced by modernity. The use of T.V and the internet has also
played a big and important role in these changes.
