3 . Examples of good practice
3.2 An example from Lycée LGT Dupleix , France
Project Title : Dupleix High School senior student Reading Prize
Initial analysis prior to project implementation . Since the student Goncourt prize , there has been no reading project at the senior student library - the statistics of purchase of non compulsary books are low - the stock of novels doesn ’ t fit " reading for pleasure ". It should be developped to increase the purchases .
Description of the pedagogical and educational objective - develop the taste for reading , lead the senior students to discover their literary preferences , promote a different approach to literature , moving out of the usual pedagogical setting ( going to the library , reading " non classical " works , activities around " free " writing and speech , valorizing the students and guide them to continue reading , valorizing subsequently the educational literary section .
Content description- The teachers of french in 2nd forms ( students aged 15 ) and the librarian choose 6 " love at first sight " works ( detective or science fiction or fantasy novels ). This choice will be made in May 2016 for the purchase in number of books ( 5 copies of each book = 30 ) - 2 classes will take part in the project . The 2 classes will be drawn , one during first term , the other one during second term ( all the teachers of french in 2nd forms are volunteers to take part in the project , thats ’ why there will be a random draw ) - distribution of books to the class at the beginning of the project - the students will read the books in turns , they will study them with their teachers , will make information research on the general background of the work ( history , civilization , customs ,...). They will create alphabet books ( letter " A " : the students start a sentence related to book content or topic . Various levels of languages . Letter " B ", ...), raise questions or issues for other students to answer , ... - possible trip to the book exhibition in Valenciennes with the two classes in May 2017 - we will try to invite one of the selected writers ( May- June ) so that he / she could exchange with the students on the books they will have read : a preparation of the interview will have to be done beforehand . End of May – early June : selection of the students ’ favourite book . Exhibition of the students ’ works . Assessment .
Stakeholders - Coordinator : Mrs Urli Hélène ( librarian teacher ), Teaching team : teachers of French in 2nd forms , school librarian teacher , temporary intervention of other teachers ( History-geography , fine arts , music , ...) depending on the context in which the book story takes place . Target groups : 2 classes of 2nd ( aged 15 ), one class at a time mainly 30 students per term , partners : multimedia library of Landrecies .
Programme - three months per class , one hour per week at the library ( during usual french lessons when the class is divided in groups ), visit to the book exhibition in Valenciennes , one day for the interview ( May-June ) with the writer including all classes of 2nd form ( the teachers will work on the book ), selection of favourite book and exhibition of works ( during the cultural week ).
