Overview

Cette technique donne aux élèves l’occasion de répondre de manière réfléchie à des questions écrites, puis d’en discuter de façon approfondie avec leurs condisciples. Jeter des idées par écrit puis en discuter avec un partenaire avant de les exposer devant un groupe plus large leur donne plus de temps pour formuler leur point de vue. C’est un format qui leur donne aussi confiance en eux, les encourage à participer et donne souvent des discussions plus approfondies.

Procedure

Première étape

Demander aux élèves de réfléchir à une question donnée et d’écrire la réponse dans leur journal.

Deuxième étape

Regrouper les élèves par deux pour qu’ils échangent leurs réponses.

Troisième étape

Demander à chaque groupe de rapporter le contenu de leurs conversations devant la classe tout entière. On peut aussi demander à chaque étudiant d’expliquer ce que son partenaire lui a dit. Cette stratégie-là se focalise sur la capacité d’écouter des élèves.

Voici quelques exemples d’échanges croisés dans une classe Facing History :

Pour lancer un débat après la lecture d’un texte court.
Pour évaluer les réactions après avoir visionné un extrait de film.
Pour évaluer les connaissances des élèves avant d’entamer un nouveau sujet.
Pour rassembler ses idées avant de commencer un devoir ou une dissertation.
