PROMPTS ÉCRITURE - HISTOIRE - ÉVÉNEMENTS MAJEURS - ÉCRITURE CRÉATIVE - ROUTINE
By French Made Fun!
De nos jours, il semble que les élèves connaissent de moins en moins les grands événements et moments historiques, qu'ils soient bons ou mauvais. Ce document est conçu pour permettre aux enseignants de donner à leurs élèves un aperçu de certains événements majeurs de l'Histoire que nous n'avons souvent pas le temps d'explorer en détail en classe, mais qui offrent au moins aux élèves une première introduction à ces moments marquants.
Ce document pédagogique propose une immersion dans 41 moments marquants de l’Histoire mondiale à travers des récits captivants. Chaque semaine, les élèves découvriront un personnage fictif placé au cœur d'un événement historique majeur, avec un focus sur le contexte temporel, géographique, les personnes impactées et les répercussions à long terme de cet événement.
Les élèves seront invités à rédiger des entrées de journal intime en adoptant la perspective de personnages historiques, tels qu'un jeune garçon dans un pensionnat autochtone, une infirmière sur le front de la guerre de Sécession, ou encore un membre d'une communauté des Premières Nations lors des négociations des traités avec le gouvernement canadien.
Objectifs pédagogiques :
- Comprendre les moments historiques clés qui ont façonné le monde et leurs répercussions durables.
- Encourager l’écriture créative et l’exploration des perspectives personnelles et historiques.
- Sensibiliser les élèves à l’empathie à travers des récits ancrés dans des contextes réels.
- Stimuler la réflexion critique en analysant comment les événements ont affecté les différentes communautés.
Contenu :
- 41 semaines de suggestions d'écriture basées sur des moments historiques divers et enrichissants.
- Chaque activité inclut les détails clés : période, lieu, personnes touchées, et conséquences à long terme sur le monde.
- Des descriptions concises pour guider les élèves dans leur écriture.
- Une activité engageante où les élèves imaginent des récits personnels tout en explorant des événements historiques.
- Ces événements sont accompagnés d'images captivantes permettant aux élèves d'être transportés dans ces moments historiques. Grâce à ces visuels, ils pourront s'immerger pleinement dans les différentes époques et contextes, enrichissant ainsi leur compréhension et leur expérience de l'histoire.
Exemples de moments historiques que vos élèves verront ici:
- Les raids vikings
- L'Égypte antique sous les pharaons
- L'Empire mongol sous Gengis Khan
- La cour de Versailles sous Marie-Antoinette
- Le Japon féodal
