Newlands College: Shared Histories Project

Newlands College students heading to France in April 2016

Shared Histories : les travaux de nos élèves

Shared Histories : les travaux de nos élèves

Depuis novembre dernier, nos élèves ont décidé de préparer des exposés sur des thèmes qui nous permettent de comparer l'engagement des Français et des Néo-Zélandais dans la guerre.

Ces travaux prennent la forme de journaux d'époque ou de vidéos. Ils se font "in English of course". Nous les envoyons régulièrement à Long Bay College. Les vidéos ont eu beaucoup de succès : les élèves d'Auckland ont apprécié d'écouter l'accent "frenchie" de nos élèves !

Nous envisageons, avec ces travaux...

These two students were invited to present their experience and knowledge gained from their WWI Shared History Project and in turn gained a first hand experience participating in local politics. This was a great chance for the Auckland City Councillors to find out...

Les premiers pas de notre projet : Shared Destinies

Les élèves de Meyssac en plein travail !

Notre projet a été lancé au mois de novembre 2014.

Depuis, les élèves du collège de Meyssac et les élèves de la High School Long Bay College d'Auckland ont réalisé des travaux conjointement et partagé leurs recherches. Nous avons pu constaté que, malgré l'éloignement géographique, il y avait beaucoup de similitudes dans les expériences vécues aussi bien par les soldats que par les civils.

Les élèves de troisième de Meyssac ont réalisé des journaux d'époque et des vidéos. Ils se sont...
