Outils pour le confinement : élèves aux besoins éducatifs particuliers

Enseigner à distance est déjà un défi. Enseigner à des élèves aux besoins éducatifs particuliers peut sembler d'autant plus difficile. Heureusement les enseignants dans ce domaine utilisent déjà avec leurs élèves de nombreux outils qui peuvent s'avérer utiles pendant le confinement. En faisant le tour des sites académiques, nous avons trouvé plusieurs pistes différentes : L'équipe de l'Ecole inclusive de l'académie de Nancy Metz a mis en ligne un document spécifique avec des conseils pou r assurer la continuité pédagogique pour des élèves aux BEP . Il contient des liens vers des padlets avec des suggestions pour les enseignants d'EBEP en général, et un autre spécifiquement pour les enseignants d'élèves autistes, des conseils spécifiques pour aider les élèves avec peu ou pas d'accès aux outils numériques et le cas concret du blog d'une classe avec son emploi du temps d'une journée. Renaud Taillard nous a déjà présenté l'utilisation des TICE au service des langues dans des dispositifs ULIS. Pendant le confinement, ces outils deviennent les supports principaux de la continuité pédagogique. Chaque semaine, ou épisode, a un programme de matières variées , dont l'anglais, grâce aux C@psulis, petites vidéos avec des avatars animés préparées par les enseignants et les élèves.

Watch UK's National Theatre Productions at Home!

One of the nice results of the current lockdown, from an audience point of view, is that the UK's National Theatre is going to be making selected shows available for a week at a time on YouTube. The National Theatre has announced a show a week for the month of April. They are filmed shows that are usually shown in cinemas. They will go live at 8 p.m. French time every Thursday, and be available for a week on demand. A couple of them could be particularly interesting for your older students. You can view the plays on the National's YouTube channel . For more information visit the NT site , but you may have to queue to get on due to high demand. Thursday 2 April : 'One Man, Two Guvnors ' A modern adaptation, set in 1950's England, of a Goldoni commedia del arte play, "The Servant of Two Masters." Starring James Corden as Francis Henshall, erstwhile skiffle musician who is now working for an East End hoodlum (or rather the hoodlum's sister in disguise), as well as the sister's fiancé. A classic comedy of disguise and mistaken identity. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pcJM1Z3Trfo Thursday 9 April : 'Jane Eyre' A modern, feminist and post-colonial reimagining of Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=64&v=ZVW5bO5wvbw&feature=emb_logo Thursday 16 April : 'Treasure Island' Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate story of murder, money and mutiny, but this time the hero, young Jim Hawkins in the innkeeper's granddaughter. https://youtu.be/04HhlbFGq1M Thursday 23 April 'Twelfth Night' Where music is the food of love, and nobody is quite what they seem, anything proves possible in Shakespeare's classic comedy.

Banksy in Venice

This short video by Banksy is a great addition to Shine Bright 2de SnapFile 8 Will you get Banksy-ed?. Like the prank studied in the file, when a Banksy work that had just been sold at auction disappeared into a shredder at the bottom of the frame, it questions the art market and what is considered "art". It was the street-artist's reaction to not being invited to the Venice Biennale, but also a comment on the large cruise ships that dominate the picturesque city and pollute its lagoon in the name of "cultural" tourism.

Judy Garland

Judy Garland was a child singing star and a global star of stage and screen. Her starring role in The Wizard of Oz at 17 made her a household name. A new film stars Renée Zellweger playing Garland in the final year in her short life, when stardom and the Hollywood studio system had taken their toll. Like so many stars whose public image was moulded by the studios in Hollywood, Garland's real life was far from the glamour that made the covers of magazines. She was born Frances Ethel Gumm in 1922 in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Her parents were both vaudeville artists, and ran a vaudeville theatre, so the young Frances was on stage as soon as she could walk. She had an excellent singing voice and by age 10 was a child star, receiving rave reviews in Variety magazine. Soon after, she adopted the stage name Judy Garland. At age 13, she signed a contract with MGM, the biggest Hollywood studio. It was The Wizard of Oz that made her name internationally. The perennial favourite film has been seen by more people than any other in Hollywood history and "Over the Rainbow" became Garland's signature song and a jazz standard. Garland played Dorothy, an orphan, who is blown away in a tornado and finds herself in the magical Land of Oz, in glitzy Technicolor. Dorothy's quest to return home to Kansas will lead her to help a tin man, a cowardly lion and a scarecrow find what they most want in the world. https://youtu.be/i2zdYIF5DAY Garland was awarded a special miniature Oscar for “outstanding performance by a screen juvenile” for the role. Don't miss the televised lycée class on reading comprehension around a letter to Judy Garland. #continuitéPédagogique Judy The new film is set in 1969. Garland has gone through four marriages. She has a daughter, Liza Minelli, and two younger children from her marriage with Sidney Luft. The film shows her broke and struggling with depression, touring to sing in London to try to provide for her children. Zellweger loved the possibility of having an in-depth look at Garland's life, rather than the wide fresco of a traditional biopic. "I thought there was an opportunity to explore something that isn't often considered when you're thinking about this larger than life personality - what it was that she delivered in her work and what it cost her. This was a period in her life when she was working because she needed to work, but physically needed to rest. Her voice, the thing that gives her value and self-worth, is also the thing that she's destroying in order to be able to take care of her children." https://youtu.be/iJ4mU3oQW3g

An Extraordinary Theatre Experience

Taking folk tales from around the world, British company 1927 bring their latest category-busting show to Paris in English in March. Roots began with a book writer Suzanne Andrade found in the British Library. The Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index is a treasure trove of the world's folk tales. It gives short descriptions of stories, variations of which can been found from Scotland to Spain, Ireland to India, and classifies them into categories such as "transformation", "stupid husbands" and "foolish wives". Having selected likely stories, the company gave them "the 1927 treatment" developed in their previous shows such as The Animals and Children took to the Streets and Golem. 1927 combines silent-film-type performance, animation and music. And in this case, voiceover of the actual tales by friends and family of the company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-rx8_Hnz-k Andrade insists on the fact that these are folk tales, not fairy stories. They are rooted in real life, "different to the folk tales we grew up with, which, it became clear, had been bleached and cleaned up, trimmed and neatened, packed full of Christian morality, gender stereotypes, and ‘defanged’ to quote Angela Carter." Carter's unexpurgated and feminist tales in The Bloody Chamber (1979) and Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales (1992) are a major influence.

Just Mercy

A new film tells the true story of a battle against endemic racism in the American justice system. It's based on a memoir by Bryan Stevenson, a lawyer in Alabama, and tells the story of his firm's battle to prove the innocence of Walter McMillian, who was condemned to death for a murder he didn't commit. A black man, the murder of a white woman in Monroeville: the story disturbingly echoes Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and questions whether anything has changed in the almost hundred years since that classic was set.

Bringing African Faces to the Foreground

In an exhibition in Bordeaux, a British artist pulls African characters from the background of European paintings and puts them centre stage. Lubaina Himid was born in Zanzibar, Tanzania but brought up in England. She was a leading figure of the Black British Art Movement in the 1980s and won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2017. The installation on show in Bordeaux consists of 100 life size cut-out figures of black slaves or servants who featured in paintings as far back as the 17th century. Having a black servant in a painting signalled the main subject’s wealth and status. As Lubaina Himid explains , "They often provided the entertainment just by looking different and were at their most useful as the greatest conspicuous display of wealth imaginable." In 2004, Himid took the figures from the paintings and gave them back an existence of their own. They each have an invented name and story. But lest the bright colours and cheerful faces fool you, their stories take the form of invoices attached to their backs. My name is Walukaga They call me Sam I used to chase wild boar Now the dogs do it for me And they have the meat My name is Asiza They call me Sally I loved to work the clay Now I sweep the yard But I love the mud Himid called the piece Naming the Money , as the black characters literally represented wealth. The installation takes extra meaning from the venue in Bordeaux: the CAPC is housed in a warehouse built in 1824 to store the coffee, sugar, cotton, rum and spices that were imported into the city from France's colonies. This video gives a good sense of the installation: [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n92dRBiWfeM[/embed] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n92dRBiWfeM Lubaina Himid: Naming the Money CAPC Bordeaux Till 23 February 2020
