Lecture et écritureDescription
Résumer une histoire, un événement, un film ou un roman sans trop entrer dans les détails, est une tâche plus ou moins complexe. On a souvent tendance à vouloir en dire trop. Cette activité te permettra de repérer l’information essentielle d’un miniroman ou d’une histoire pour ensuite la résumer dans tes propres mots. Tu auras aussi l’occasion de créer une couverture de livre (jaquette et résumé), comme sur les vrais livres.
Durée de travail estimée
Plus de deux heures, selon le temps consacré à la lecture. L'activité peut donc s'échelonner sur deux semaines (une semaine pour la lecture et la prise de notes, l'autre semaine pour la confection de la jaquette du livre).Attente(s)

Comprehending and Interpreting
Using Comprehension Strategies
Activate their prior knowledge about the topic of a new text before reading (e.g., brainstorm to identify what they already know about the topic; describe personal experiences related to the topic); identify different purposes for reading (e.g., for pleasure, to obtain information), and describe the types of texts that are most appropriate for these purposes.
Read texts that are appropriate for their reading level at a sufficient rate and with sufficient precision and expression to convey the sense of the text readily to the reader and to an audience.
Interpreting Text
Identify the important ideas, information, and messages in literary and informational texts, restating them in their own words and providing interpretations, supported by illustrations in the text.
Identify and describe the main events in narrative texts, presenting them in sequence.
Describe the characters in narrative texts, including their physical traits, their actions, and the conflicts in which they are engaged.
Retell a story by adapting it, or an aspect of it, for presentation in another form.
Understanding Forms and Their Characteristics
Read a variety of story books and other narrative texts (e.g., graphic novels, folk tales) and identify their basic elements (e.g., narrator, characters, main conflict).
Writing
Developing and Organizing Content
Determine, independently or with guidance from the teacher, the purpose of an audience for the text they are planning to create.
Applying Knowledge of Forms and Techniques
Write narrative paragraphs: relating events in chronological order; using connecting words to indicate the passage of time.
Revising and Editing Texts
Edit and proofread their written work, using reference material (e.g., personal word lists, visual dictionaries).
Producing Finished Work
Produce a clean and legible final draft, using simple techniques and resources to format and enhance the presentation, with a focus on the following: using headings appropriately to help organize the text; using underlining, colour, and/or a different style of lettering (e.g., printing, cursive writing, a different font) to emphasize certain text; integrating clip art, photos, and/or diagrams to supplement or to reinforce information and messages.
Déroulement et directives
As-tu déjà vu un film ou lu un livre que tu as tellement aimé, qu’au moment où tu as rencontré ton meilleur ami, tu t’es empressé de le lui raconter? Tu ne lui as pas tout raconté, n’est-ce pas? Sinon, à quoi bon regarder le film ou lire le livre en question si on en connaît déjà la fin? Tu lui as seulement donné une version courte de l’histoire dans tes propres mots.
C’est ce qu’on appelle un résumé, ou en anglais, a summary.
Pour cette activité, tu vas devoir résumer l’histoire au complet pour montrer ta compréhension.
Allons voir plus en détails comment rédiger un bon résumé.
