After observing the behavior of our finalist students in recent years, we thought it would be good to make this working tool available to them and therefore to the final year French teacher as a useful aid in writing a dissertation. .
We have observed in fact that learning the dissertation is almost relegated to second position in the practical program of teaching French in the humanities.
French teachers generally wake up as the essay test for state exams approaches.
This excessive negligence means that our high school graduates have difficulty with editorial work.
We hear students say that “the teacher asked us to do 10 introductory lines, 15 development lines and 10 conclusion lines.” We'll admit that it's skinnier than a body ravaged by tuberculosis or AIDS.
A good essay should be written on at least 4 notebook pages, of course taking 10 to 15 lines for the introduction and conclusion, the rest being devoted to development.
We therefore understand that it is important, for the construction of a sustainable intellectual society, that our teachers put into practice their abilities and their knowledge so that we can establish a difference between an essay and a dissertation, between a finalist of elementary school and a finalist in humanities, pre-university.
May this little manual therefore be a complement to the work that already exists and be useful to teachers and students. The student has the advantage of self-training if the teacher does not understand that he holds the future of our young people in his hands.
