Description
Please describe the teaching source taking into consideration:
- the strengths and weaknesses
- the traditional way on how to use it
- the necessary adaptation to use it through empathy and emotional intelligence

In this final task, pupils must choose one of the posters in the group, present it to the class, and comment on it. This exercise should allow pupils to explain their choice, their feelings and exchange their points of view with others in curiosity, respect, benevolence and empathy.
Secondly, pupils create a poster with the athlete of their choice and write the values they have retained to promote team spirit, coaching and European values.
They present the poster to the class.

Lesson Plan
FIRST PRODUCTION: The choice of poster. The pupils are first in groups, they look for arguments to defend their choice. They try to identify the values that are presented on the poster, values that revolve around empathy, mutual respect, and benevolence. Then a mediator from each group presents their work to the class. Within the same group, they all have a role of mediator: the text mediator (the one who formulates in English or French when understanding is not accessible to others), the concept mediator (within the group, cooperates so that the work progresses, invites to the discussion, encourages speaking out ,…), the communication mediator (facilitates interactions in favor of a compromise in case of disagreement ...)

SECOND PRODUCTION: Creation of a poster. Pupils, as a group, should create a magazine cover with the athlete of their choice and write the values that uphold fair play. Each group then presents the poster produced and explains the choice of the athlete and the values he represents.

THIRD PRODUCTION: final production: in plenary (for the whole class): the empathy Café: rehearsal, presentation of productions for interaction in plenary and meeting .

Assessment
No quantified assessment but a valuation of the involvement of each pupil recorded in the pupil's school record (see BO (Official Bulletin of education) citizenship education in high school).

The use by the pupils of socio-linguistic tools and methods developed during the year around emotion, respect, benevolence, empathy and exchanges between pupils on these concepts are the realization of the objectives pursued: to fight against prejudices in sport in particular and make pupils reflect on the democratic values of the European citizen.
