Jennie CastrogiovanniMATSL Summer SessionProject UnderstandingFinal Draft Project Understanding and Rationale

Question Essentielle:

De quoi peut-on s’indigner et comment peut-on exprimer son indignation?

sous question #1 : De quoi Grand Corps Malade s’indigne-t-il ? sous question #2: De quoi vous indignez-vous ? sous question #3 : Qu’est-ce qu’on peut faire quand on

s’indigne ?

Niveau : Français IV

Le Contexte : Les Français s’indignent beaucoup. La Révolution Française a des racines dans l’idée d’indignation contre les injustices de la monarchie. Dans la littérature, l’art, la musique, et la presse française on peut trouver tant d’expressions d’indignation. On ne doit que regarder la télé pour remarquer l’indignation des français qui manifestent ou qui font des grèves contre n’importe quelle nouvelle régulation gouvernementale. Durant le déroulement de cette unité, «L’indignation», notre classe de Français IV étudiera le concept d’indignation par la poésie du slameur Grand Corps Malade. Ensuite les étudiants auront l’occasion de s’engager et de faire entendre la voix de leur propre indignation.

Les Paroles « Romeo kiffe Juliette »

Roméo habite au rez-de-chaussée du bâtiment troisJuliette dans l’immeuble d’en face au dernier étageIls ont 16 ans tous les deux et chaque jour quand ils se voientGrandit dans leur regard une envie de partageC’est au premier rendez-vous qu’ils franchissent le pasSous un triste ciel d’automne où il pleut sur leurs corpsIls s’embrassent comme des fous sans peur du vent et du froidCar l’amour a ses saisons que la raison ignore

[Refrain]Roméo kiffe Juliette et Juliette kiffe RoméoEt si le ciel n’est pas clément tant pis pour la météoUn amour dans l’orage, celui des dieux, celui des hommesUn amour, du courage et deux enfants hors des normes

Juliette et Roméo se voient souvent en cachetteCe n’est pas qu’autour d’eux les gens pourraient se moquerC’est que le père de Juliette a une kippa sur la têteEt celui de Roméo va tous les jours à la mosquéeAlors ils mentent à leurs familles, ils s’organisent comme des prosS’il n’y a pas de lieux pour leur amour, ils se fabriquent un décor

Page 9: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

Ils s’aiment au cinéma, chez des amis, dans le métroCar l’amour a ses maisons que les darons ignorent

[Refrain]

Le père de Roméo est vénèr, il a des soupçonsLa famille de Juliette est juive, tu ne dois pas t’approcher d’elleMais Roméo argumente et résiste au coup de pressionOn s’en fout papa qu’elle soit juive, regarde comme elle est belleAlors l’amour reste clandé dès que son père tourne le dosIl lui fait vivre la grande vie avec les moyens du bordPour elle c’est sandwich au grec et cheese au McDoCar l’amour a ses liaisons que les biftons ignorent

[Refrain]

Mais les choses se compliquent quand le père de JulietteTombe sur des messages qu’il n’aurait pas dû lireUn texto sur l’i-phone et un chat InternetLa sanction est tombée, elle ne peut plus sortirRoméo galère dans le hall du bâtiment troisMalgré son pote Mercutio, sa joie s’évaporeSa princesse est tout prêt mais retenue sous son toitCar l’amour a ses prisons que la raison déshonoreMais Juliette et Roméo changent l’histoire et se tirentA croire qu’ils s’aiment plus à la vie qu’à la mortPas de fiole de cyanure, n’en déplaise à ShakespeareCar l’amour a ses horizons que les poisons ignorent

[Refrain]

Roméo kiffe Juliette et Juliette kiffe RoméoEt si le ciel n’est pas clément tant pis pour la météoUn amour dans un orage réactionnaire et insultantUn amour et deux enfants en avance sur leur temps.

Jennie CastrogiovanniRationale Final DraftMATSL Summer Session

Rationale

This rationale discusses my Project Understandings in which I have

integrated concepts learned during the French Language and Culture,

Pedagogy, and Technologies and Literacies in Second Language Learning

classes at Bennington College MATSL (Master’s of Arts in Teaching a Second

Language) summer residency session. The activities which are a part of this

project include both technical and traditional components. In this paper, I will

explain how and why I have integrated the technical and traditional, and

both my own thinking and the prior knowledge which I have gleaned through

my reading and in my Bennington MATSL courses which have informed my

thinking about this project

My Project Understanding is built around the concept of

“L’Indignation”, which has been a key component in our French class

discussions of “La Révolte” this year. My unit is rooted in Wiggens and

McTigh’s concept of Backward Design, which I learned about in my Pedagogy

class this summer. Backward Design is designing a curriculum, a unit, or

even a single activity around a central concept or idea. As Stephen Covey

said, “To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear

Page 11: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

understanding of your destination.” (Covey as quoted in Wiggins, 1) I started

with an essential question, which is a question that zeros in on main concept

or big idea. Its aim “is to stimulate thought, to provoke inquiry, and to spark

more questions—including thoughtful student questions.” (Wiggins, 106). My

essential question is this: “What can one get indignant about and how can

one express his or her indignation?” I chose to make this the essential

question for my project because of its basis in my own learning during the

past three weeks of my MATSL Language and Culture class at Bennington.

During our class we spent many interesting hours reading about, discussing,

thinking about, and coming to understandings about revolt in the context of

French texts. We discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant about

an issue in order to revolt. Given that my students are often indignant about

school policy or parental rules or even governmental regulations, I believe

that thinking more deeply about both revolt and indignation in our French

class would be both interesting and thought-provoking.

My French IV class will explore this question in the context of the slam

poetry of French slam artist Grand Corps Malade. In particular we will be

studying the slam “Romeo kiffe Juliette”, which is a modern-day version of

Shakespeare’s classic play, “Romeo and Juliet”. I will first project Grand

Corps Malade’s version via a Youtube video.

Youtube is an on-line resource for sharing videos. The affordances of

Youtube are that it provides a forum for videos that my class would not

otherwise be able to see. A main constraint is that the teacher has to be

Page 12: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

careful in previewing videos because many are not deemed appropriate by

local school boards and administrations.

    When designing this unit, it was important to think about the affordances

and constraints inherent in using technology, and especially to ensure that

the affordances outweighed the constraints. By affordances I mean a term

that “is used to describe the perceived action possibilities posed by objects

or features in the environment.” (coined by Gibson as quoted by Gee, 81). A

constraint is the opposite. It is something which restricts possibilities. One of

the best affordances of technology is being able to bring the world and

specifically the many aspects of culture associated with the French

language, which can be as diverse as negritude poetry or a Parisian flea

market or a Haitian lullaby. In the context of this project we will delve into

the languaculture of slam poetry. Languaculture, a term first used by

Michael Agar (as referenced by Risager, 110), refers to the connection

between language and culture. When one stretches linguistically to fill the

gaps, culture happens. Agar said, “Culture starts when you notice you’ve got

a problem with language and the problem has to do with who you are.” (Agar

1994:20 as quoted in Risager, 110).

Slam poetry is competitive recited poetry usually preformed by the

poet himself or herself. Grand Corps Malade is a popular French slam poet. 

It would be difficult and most likely expensive to show slam poetry

presentations without Youtube. An assessment activity includes making a

blog entry and downloading an image which illustrates the student’s point of

Page 13: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

view. For example, I would blog about my indignation at the practice of child

marriages and then I would attach a National Geographic photo of a young

girl, who is the child-wife of the bearded man standing next to her. A

constraint of Tumblr Blogs is that they are somewhat awkward to navigate

and particularly difficult to comment on.

The day after making the blog entries, the class as a whole will look at

them and take ideas from the blogs for making a public service commercial

video about something which makes them indignant. They will then upload

the commercials onto their blogs, thus allowing everyone to interact with

them.

The use of digitally afforded literacies in my activities flows into

traditional activities so that both technology and traditional (traditional in

this context meaning non-technology based) in a way which scaffolds the

students’ learning and makes for a community of learners, who

communicate in multiple ways in the classroom. For example, the students

work in groups to answer questions about the video. In the text there are

several instances of verlan, which is a type of slang in which the order of

words is reversed. An example in the video is the expression “Ça peut

chemar”. Chemar is verlan for “marcher” (work), so in English the phrase

would read, “That can work”. The students are asked to find the word.

Fortunately one of the greatest, I argue, affordances of technology is being

able to find the meanings of all kinds of slang expressions on-line.  Students

must find the French definition of the verlan expression “chemar”. Then they

Page 14: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

will discuss the meaning and what Grand Corps Malade meant by the

expression, write their answer, after which the class as a whole will discuss

the questions.

     This is just one example where the traditional and technological flow back

and forth, and the students are immersed in a sequence of activities, which

involves listening to a slam in French, working collaboratively in responding

by writing answers to questions about the slam, discussing their answers as

a whole-class activity, then writing individually in their blogs, expressing

their own indignation, and finally discussing and analyzing the blog entries.

The activity flows into the following one, in which the students choose an

idea which has come from the blogs and make a public service ad regarding

the idea which they are indignant about. Finally students are asked to peer

evaluate the videos and self-evaluate their own contributions to their group

video, and also justifying their evaluation

In developing a range of evaluative activities, I am aligning my thinking

with that of Elliot Eisner, whose ideas about assessments include “making

possible more than one acceptable solution to a problem… (and) assessment

tasks need not be limited to solo performances.” (Eisner, 206). Eisner also

advocates “providing a climate that welcomes exploration and risk-taking

and cultivates the disposition to play.” (Eisner, 162) It is my intent for my

students to explore their own creativity in making a video which expresses

their indignation. They will work with a partner for this activity,

     My project has its roots in the idea of literacy-based teaching, in which

Page 15: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

“the relationship between reading, writing, and talking is not linear, but

overlapping” (Kern 2000, 132) The students hear a text, interpret a text,

collaboratively answer questions about a text, and because of the text,

become aware of a cultural phenomenon, the slam poetry of French slameur,

Grand Corps Malade. They also collaborate on problem-solving by making

meaning out of French instances of verlan. The problem solving also involves

making a video which reflects on something which makes them indignant.

Finally they reflect collaboratively in a googledoc discussion about the videos

they have made and watched and about indignation in general. The reason

that this evaluative activity involves a googledoc is because I feel that

googledoc forum affords the students to work collaboratively in writing to

express their opinions. The students would not be able to write

collaboratively as a group without this technology. My instructions include

writing in different colored font so that I can tell who is responding.

My intention for this project is that the students will become immersed

in a community of practice. According to James Paul Gee “the central idea (of

a community of practice) is that people learn new practices through

participation with others, that they are networked with others and with

various tools and technologies in ways that allow them to accomplish more

than they could by themselves, and that knowledge is stored as much in the

network and the practices of the group as it is in an one person’s head”

(Gee, 92). If I look to my own experience, this is what happens during our

MATSL sessions at Bennington College. French and Spanish students

Page 16: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

together become a community of practice, scaffolding or helping each other

to new understandings and also taking different perspectives and thus

finding themselves disciplining their own thinking. This is precisely the type

of community I want to build in my classroom

 The activities that I have designed also mesh with what Kern calls

“situated practice.”  “Situated practice has to do with the learner’s

immersion in writing as an act of meaning design, and is a key ingredient in

the development of writing ability” (Kern 2000, 192).

    On the other hand, there are also examples of what Kern calls “overt

instruction”. Having to express in writing their ideas about indignation, gives

students the opportunity to use metalanguage to reflect on their

contribution. Collocations such as “Je pense que” (I think that), and “Je suis

d’accord” (I agree), “Pourquoi” (I think that) will be important in framing their

opinions.  This last activity is an example of what Kern calls “critical framing,

“which involves stepping back and looking at the ‘then and there’ of

communication.” (Kern 2000, 133). In this collaborative activity, students are

asked to form opinions, defend their opinions, and find out other students’

opinions. They are asked to analyze their own and other’s words and ideas

and to come to terms with the concept of indignation.

    In thinking together by working collaboratively, both in answering

questions about the Grand Slam video and in responding to the blogs about

their own indignation, and in creating the video and watching and discussing

the videos and the concept of indignation, the students scaffold each other’s

Page 17: jennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.comjennieeportfoliomatsl.wikispaces.com/file/view/jennie+Fin…  · Web viewWe discovered that it is first necessary to be indignant ... The students

understanding about the culture and linguistic awareness of verlan. The

googledocs activity affords students the ability to see other students’ writing,

which also is a way of providing the linguistically stronger students the

opportunity to scaffold others by setting forth examples in their own writing.

Of course, this is a constraint if the first students to respond write incorrectly

in French.

    During my action research last year I looked to the Sociocultural Theory

which stipulates that learning is culturally-based. L.S. Vygotsky found that

“learning collaboratively with others, particularly in instructional settings,

precedes and shapes development.” (VanPatten and Williams 2007, 211)      

During my own Action Research I found that: When there is an overarching

concept in which students investigate a text in the target language and then

discuss it with the teacher serving primarily as linguistic scaffolder, students

take perspectives and they may discipline those perspectives. In the process

they grow linguistically and in their understanding of the culture associated

with the target language; furthermore, the atmosphere of collaboration

inherent in this type of activity fosters a spirit of community.”

(Castrogiovanni, 2011)

    Everything I have learned so far has contributed to my current plan for my

class. My intent is to integrate technology in smart ways to scaffold my class

to a stronger linguistic place, to provide for richer cultural understandings,

and to foster a spirit of community.
