• Contents
Polyphonic writing is the main theme of the workshop. The group has to deal with the production of a collective polyphonic narrative about a fictive character. The workshop then makes some teaching questions emerge. Some of the appearing themes may be
-    Frame
-    Posture and gestures of the teacher
-    Teachers’ training, as we particularly insist upon them in France;
-    Use of literary texts, for propositions and as “detours”
-    Use of reflexivity and interactions
-    Links between workshops and literary achievements: way to personal projects and rewriting, relations with literary standards
-    Board of the teacher and pedagogical invention
Participants eventually write and share their own observations and conclusions.

Fee 325 €, includes course in Paris (30 h), but neither travelling expenses nor accommodation. We recommend you to find reduced special prices for flights and hotels in the Internet.
