Présentation
Nous vous proposons
ce Treasure Hunt qui pourra être réparti
sur deux ou trois séances et qui permettra
aux élèves de collège d'acquérir
des connaissances ou de les approfondir sur la nation
Arc-en-Ciel - The Rainbow Nation.
La séquence
est utilisable en salle multimédia.
Mise en oeuvre
Vous trouverez ci-dessous l'ensemble
de la séquence, mais vous pouvez également
le
télécharger ici.
Les différentes activités
proposées vous permettront d'aborder les points
les plus importants de l'Afrique du Sud et d'emmener
vos élèves hors des sentiers battus
(et hors de leur manuel!) pour la fin de l'année.
Mais vos élèves vont également
apprendre à travailler en autonomie et à
découvrir une forme de travail qui s'apparente
à ce qu'ils feront en Seconde : l'étude
de documents authentiques, à travers lesquelsl
ils construisent peu à peu leurs connaissances,
tout en s'appuyant sur les 4 compétences, compréhension
et expression écrite pour les activités
du Treasure Hunt, compréhension et expression
orale pour le brainstorming,
la mise en commun des réponses aux activités
et le travail sur la chanson
Asimbonanga . Avec des élèves de
Troisième très motivés, vous
pouvez terminer par l'analyse du cartoon
sur l'apartheid qui permettra de vérifier
l'acquisition des notions et du vocabulaire spécifique
à l'Afrique du Sud.
Distribuez la fiche de travail aux élèves.
Demandez-leur de répondre aux questions sur
la fiche. Les liens indiqués les aideront à
trouver les réponses. Un certain nombre d'activités
peuvent être faites également en ligne,
grâce à des exercices interactifs, mais
de toutes façons, la fiche
de travail remplie servira de trace écrite.
