LE CLUB HARRY POTTER DE NEXON

A. Motivations et objectifs du Club Harry Potter.
B. Problèmes posés / solutions proposées.
C. Mise en place du Club. Le club n’étant ouvert - pour des raisons de compréhension des supports qu’aux élèves de 4ème / 3ème , il a fallu prévoir un alignement d’une heure sur les 2 niveaux. Cela a été rendu possible grâce à la chorale qui nécessitait déjà un tel dispositif. Je me suis adressé à l’ensemble des classes des 2 niveaux et seuls les volontaires sont venus rejoindre le Club. Pas de façon définitive puisque je laisse 3 semaines aux élèves pour se décider d’adhérer ou non. Après quoi le Club devient un cours normal, duquel on ne peut s’absenter sans raison valable. Le club comptait
En cette année 2003-2004, le Club compte 14 élèves sur un ensemble de 5 classes (110 élèves). Venir au Club consiste à faire de l’anglais autrement. C’est pour cela qu’il n’y a ni devoir à la maison ni évaluation et encore moins de ‘note-carotte’ qui ferait gonfler l’effectif de manière artificielle. D. Les élèves-potteriens. Cette année 14 élèves participent donc au Club, 7 élèves de 4ème et 7 de 3ème. Le groupe est beaucoup plus homogène que les années précédentes puisque tous les élèves présents ont eu la moyenne en anglais au premier trimestre. Les élèves de 3ème connaissent donc le fonctionnement du Club. Au niveau des résultats, seuls 2 élèves ont de légères difficultés de compréhension écrite et d’expression. Pour ce qui est des 4èmes le problème est différent car le niveau général des 4èmes est particulièrement faible ce qui oblige de revoir les objectifs à la baisse, et cela depuis le premier trimestre de 6ème. Les élèves présents sont donc des élèves motivés qui ressentent le besoin de renforcer leur anglais. Cet aspect du Club n’est pas à négliger. E. Exemples de séquences.

L’objectif était de faire découvrir le nouveau Harry Potter avant qu’il ne paraisse en français. Toutes les activités sont construites autour d’un extrait du texte original suivi de questions de compréhension, d’un travail lexical et grammatical. Le travail commençait par une lecture silencieuse du passage et, à leur rythme, les élèves complétaient les premières questions de compréhension (1 fiche sur 2 en moyenne comporte des questions en français pour faciliter la tache des 4èmes). Cette activité se faisait en 15 minutes environ, après quoi j’entamais la correction des questions en demandant aux élèves leur avis. Le travail s’est déroulé ainsi jusqu’à la fiche PART FOUR qui a permis l’utilisation du dictionnaire pour la partie lexicale et surtout la lecture par groupes de 2 (un Harry et un Dudley) du passage après avoir surlignés les propos de l’un en vert et de l’autre en jaune. Un travail sur l’intonation a été exigé. Pour ce qui est de la PART FIVE le travail a été sensiblement le même hormis le travail sur le lexique. Celui-ci a été remplacé par la traduction linéaire de tous les propos tenus par les 2 protagonistes. Les élèves ont ensuite pris plaisir à jouer la scène debout devant le tableau, feuille à la main, surtout que cet extrait comporte de nombreux passages durant lesquels Dudley change de voix pour se moquer d’Harry ou exprimer sa colère puis son incrédulité tandis qu’Harry se met franchement en colère ! Il a fallu 4 heures pour réaliser ce travail (du 13 novembre au 4 décembre).

‘ Harry did not know how long he had sat on the swing before the sound of voices interrupted his musings and he looked up. The streetlamps from the surroundings roads were casting a misty glow strong enough to silhouette a group of people making their way across the park. One of them was singing a loud, crude song. The others were laughing. A soft ticking noise came from several expensive racing bikes that they were wheeling along. Harry knew who those people were. The figure in front was unmistakeably his cousin, Dudley Dursley, wending his way home, accompanied by his faithful gang /…/’ |

‘ Harry watched the dark figures crossing the grass and wondered who they had been beating up tonight. Look round, Harry found himself thinking as he watched them. Come on … look round … I’m sitting here all alone … come and have a go … | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
If Dudley’s friends saw him sitting here, they would be sure to make a beeline for him, and what would Dudley do then ? He wouldn’t want to lose face in front of the gang, but he’d be terrified of provoking Harry … it would be really fun to watch Dudley’s dilemma, to taunt him, watch him, with him powerless to respond … and if any of the others tried hitting Harry, he was ready he had his wand. Let them try … he’d love to vent some of his frustration on the boys who had once made his life hell. But they didn’t turn around, they didn’t see him, they were almost at the railings. Harry mastered the impulse to call after them … seeking a fight was not a smart move … he must not use magic … he would be risking expulsion again. The voices of Dudley’s gang died away; they were out of sight, heading along Magnolia Road. There you go, Sirius, Harry thought dully. Nothing rash. Kept my nose clean. Exactly the opposite of what you’d have done.’ A. Compréhension : 1. A quel moment de la journée se déroule l’action ? ……………………… Justification :………………………… 2. Que veut Harry ? 6.

“ Magnolia Road, like Privet Drive, was full of large, square houses with perfectly manicured lawns, all owned by large, square owners who drove very clean cars similar to Uncle Vernon’s /…/ . Harry walked quickly, so that halfway along Magnolia Road Dudley’s gang came into view again; they were saying their farewells at the entrance to Magnolia Crescent. Harry stepped into the shadow of a large lilac tree and waited. |

‘… squealed like a pig, didn’t he ?’ Malcolm was saying. ‘Nice right hook, Big D,’ said Piers. ‘Same time tomorrow ?’ said Dudley. ‘Round at my place, my parents will be out,’ said Gordon. ‘See you then,’ said Dudley. ‘Bye, Dud!’ ‘See ya, Big D!’” A.

‘ Hey, Big D!’ Dudley turned. ‘Oh,’ he grunted. ‘It’s you.’ ‘How long have you been “Big D” then ?’ said Harry. ‘Shut it,’ snarled Dudley, turning away. |

‘Cool name,’ said Harry, grinning and falling into step beside his cousin. ‘But you’ll always be “Ickle Diddykins” to me.’ ‘I said, SHUT IT!’ said Dudley, whose ham-like hands had curled into fists. ‘Don’t the boys know that’s what your mum calls you ?’ 'Shut your face.’ ‘You don’t tell her to shut her face. What about “Popkin” and “Dinky Diddydums”, can I use them then ?’ Dudley said nothing. The effort of keeping himself from hitting Harry seemed to demand all his self-control. ‘So who’ve you been beating up tonight ?’ Harry asked, his grin fading. ‘Another ten-year-old ? I know you did Mark Evans two nights ago ‘ ‘He was asking for it,’ snarled Dudley. ‘Oh yeah ?’ 'He cheeked me.’ ‘Yeah ? Did he say you look like a pig that’s been taught to walk on its hind legs? Because that’s not cheek, Dud, that’s true.’ /…/ It gave Harry an enormous satisfaction to know how furious he was making Dudley.’ A. Vocabulaire et technique narrative : 1.

‘Dudley was wearing a strangely triumphant look. ‘What d’you mean, I’m not brave when I’m in bed?’ said Harry. ‘What am I supposed to be frightened of, pillows or something ?’ ‘I heard you last night,’ said Dudley breathlessly, ‘Talking in your sleep. Moaning.’ |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
‘What d’you mean?’ Harry said again, but there was a cold, plunging sensation in his stomach. He had revisited the graveyard last night in his dreams. Dudley gave a harsh bark of laughter, then adopted a high-pitched whimpering voice. “’Don’t kill Cedric ! Don’t kill Cedric !” Who’s Cedric your boyfriend ?’ ‘I you’re lying,’ said Harry automatically. But his mouth had gone dry. He knew Dudley wasn’t lying how else would he know about Cedric ? “’Dad ! Help me, Dad ! He’s going to kill me, Dad ! Boo hoo!’” ‘Shut up,’ said Harry quietly. ‘Shut up, Dudley, I’m warning you!’ ‘ “Come and help me, Dad! Mum, come and help me! He’s killed Cedric! Dad, help me! He’s going to ” Don’t you point that thing at me!’ Dudley backed into the alley wall. Harry was pointing the wand directly at Dudley’s heart. Harry could feel fourteen years’ hatred of Dudley pounding in his veins /…/ ‘Don’t ever talk about that again,’ Harry snarled. ‘D’you understand me?’ ‘Point that thing somewhere else!’ ‘I said, do you understand me?’ ‘Point it somewhere else!’ ‘DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?’ ‘GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ’ /…/ Something had happened to the night /…/ the stars, the moon, the misty streetlamps at either end of the alley had vanished /…/ Dudley’s terrified voice broke in Harry’s ear. ‘W-what are you d-doing?
