One of the rooms of the Louise-Michel college in Alençon (Orne) is well filled, this Monday, June 24, 2024 in the morning, for the restitution of the work of the students of 5e A. They spent a week, before the Easter holidays, working on interviews with sports enthusiasts.
They first prepared the questions, researched the people they were going to interview. Then they conducted the interview, in writing and on video. On Thursday and Friday, they worked on writing their article. First to write it, but also to make it as clear and readable as possible
explains Simon Gouin, journalist for Grand Format, the organizer of this week.
This year, the theme of sport was chosen for the class of twenty-two students. They were able to speak with local sportspeople: Yassin Nfaoui, journalist for Télé Foot and former student of the college, Arnaud Fauchet, president of the Alençon roller club and professor of physics and chemistry at the Alain high school, Maxime Demeude, dancer breakdancer and high school student, Pauline Nkundwanabake, boxer and lacemaker and finally Johann Birée, disabled rugby player.
“Tell girls that you can do any sport”
We didn’t want this special edition to focus on the theme of performance, so we didn’t necessarily choose professional athletes, but rather enthusiasts,
says Simon Gouin. It’s impressive to see the considerable amount of work that fifth graders were able to put in in just one week
. It’s very interesting to see little by little their thoughts put into place, on what words to use, for example.
It’s something you have to do at least once in your life. I found it funny,”
says student Shahada.
I agreed to do this interview to tell girls that you can do any sport. You can also do a combat sport,”
affirms Pauline Nkundwanabake during her interview.
The interviews, conducted in the CDI of the Louise-Michel college, are all available on the Grand Format website.
