Session 1 · Unpacking docs
Language objective · CECRL B2+ · unpack axis docs; paraphrase ×5; thesis spark.
Cours / Document
Shared narratives in a fragmented feed
To what extent do shared narratives still hold a community together in the digital age? The question is not nostalgic. Algorithms scatter attention; yet fandoms, local podcasts, and commemorations online still produce we-ness. Bac-level work demands a nuanced thesis early: shared narratives bind when communities curate them against scatter · not when platforms alone decide the story.
Unpack two class docs (literary DP spark optional: Antony’s crowd-shaping speech in Julius Caesar as cultural foil). Paraphrase five dense phrases; draft a thesis that includes a tension word (yet / insofar as / only when).
Exploitation
- Define shared narrative vs viral clip.
- Where does the essay refuse nostalgia?
- Paraphrase 5 phrases.
- Thesis with tension word.
- Role of curation vs algorithm.
- Optional: how a Shakespeare speech reshapes a crowd · without French-style commentaire.
