A selection of eight scientific works is offered to students. To begin with, “students will have to read the books proposed and make summaries which they will have to record in a follow-up booklet. They will therefore make a ranking of their preferences, this will be used to designate the college winner. The ideal would be to manage to read at least three books,” specifies Cyrielle Jeanne. The reading period will end at the beginning of February.
Personal or group work
In order to share reading experiences, individual or group work must be carried out. “It could be posters, summaries, poems, a comic strip, a board game, a quiz… We could also do video, in the form of interviews, stagings, photos… We can imagine whatever we want”, continues the professor.
