Soumettriez-vous vos élèves à un examen sur les fonctions trigonométriques sans les avoir préalablement enseignées? Pourtant, c’est souvent ce que nous demandons aux élèves lorsque nous évaluons l’oral. Ils sont notés sur des critères qui n’ont pas été explicitement enseignés. Bien au contraire, il est souhaitable d’enseigner l’oral aux élèves avant de les évaluer ; par l'entremise d’ateliers formatifs par exemple et en leur permettant de réinvestir ces apprentissages lors de jeux qui favorisent la prise de parole. Ce sont des habiletés essentielles qui leur permettront de se démarquer dans leur environnement de travail. Aidez vos élèves rafiner leurs stratégies de communication en participant à cet atelier!

In this session participants will work through exploring the differences between Perpetrators, Collaborators, Bystanders, and Rescuers in relation to the Holocaust, by sifting through a number of identity and situational cards. From there, they will be introduced to 3 year old Barney Greenman. Participants will then utilize the same cards to identify who was responsible for Barney’s death. This activity is Monday morning ready for participants and is an incredibly effective way to have students engage with the acts of the Nazi regime through the lens of just one child.
