Jackie and the Camelot myth

Cette séquence est élaborée par Anne Cook, enseignante d’anglais dans la Drôme, pour des élèves de lycée. La notion « Mythes et héros » est ici abordée à travers le prisme de plusieurs domaines issus des programmes du cycle terminal : arts, histoire et géopolitique, et croyances et représentations. Pendant la séquence, les élèves travailleront pour apporter des éléments de réponse à la problématique suivante : « To what extent is the movie Jackie intended to demonstrate that Jackie Kennedy recreated the myth of Camelot in the White House ? » Plusieurs outils numériques seront utilisés, tels que padlet et etherpad, pour partager le travail de chacun et permettre aux élèves de coopérer et collaborer.
