=Format=
*for each chapter, collaborative work between two groups of students of my 2 bilingual classes  
*production of a written document.
===Written part===
Work by groups of two in class and at home… Each group will work on a particular chapter… so you'll have to define first which topic you would like to work on…<br>   
At the same time, a group from the other bilingual class will work on the same wiki page (chapter) as you… This will implicate that you'll have to collaborate in English with this group for the production of the written document. '''= interclass approach'''. <br>
'''Goal?''' For each group, the main goal will be to highlight and describe the main points of the chapter you are studying. <br>
'''How?''' Inquiry Based Learning: Inquiry implies involvement that leads to understanding. Furthermore, involvement in learning implies possessing skills and attitudes that permit you to seek resolutions to questions and issues while you construct new knowledge. 
(from http://www.thirteen.org/edonline/concept2class/inquiry/index.html).
You'll have to reed the chapter, and raise questions and then answer to them in order to build a final written document that will be published.

===Evaluation===   
This work will be evaluated... but only during the semester exam. The role of the '''written part''' is for you to put together the main ideas of each chapter in a collaborative manner. These summaries will help you to read in a second step the entire book in an easier manner and maybe to have a better understanding of some tricky points.<br>
The '''semester exam''' in June will be an oral exam. You'll pick up a question on the book and will have 15 minutes of preparation and then 15 minutes of presentation and discussion. <br>
As you can see, there is a step-by-step procedure: first a chapter analysis and synthesis, then some time to read the written document and the entire book and then finally an oral exam on the entire book<br>
Hope it's gonna work! It's up to you... and me!
