Retronews, the press site of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, has just launched a new newsletter: The Letter of Education. I recommend it to you. As is always the case with the Bnf, these are quality educational resources.
Retronews offers a good way to discover andteaching history through the press of the time.
Every month a new turnkey pedagogical sequence for teachers and their students
The Bnf has therefore just launched a free monthly newsletter, the education letter. Its purpose is to present a new pedagogical sequence turnkey on a topic of History programmes for middle and high school students. It's a really good idea.
The site already featured some 40 sequences produced by the association Les Clionautes. Each of them is built with reproductions of newspaper articles taken from the Bnf archives. Additional online resources on the topic or on the time are linked and at the click of a button.
Collaboration on the menu of the education letter of the month
The pedagogical sequence presented this month in the letter is aimed at third- and final-year students studying collaboration in the course of History. It makes it possible to understand the Service du Travail Obligatoire (STO).
Retronews offers your students (but also all history buffs) three press articles from 1943 (the daily headlines) Morning, an article from The Little Gironde and the front page of The Berry Dispatch). It addresses the biases used by the Vichy regime to impose the STO through increasingly coercive means.
The Retronews education letter is every month directly in your mailbox. You can view the latest edition here.
For sign up for this free newsletter here.
To benefit from free access and download the teaching sequence, do not forget to specify the ‘teaching’ status in your profile.
The Retronews Education letter enriches the newsletters offered by the Bnf press site. Every Sunday the summary of the week, so as not to miss anything of the latest publications and the daily from Monday to Saturday that addresses you an article selected by the editors.
