EXERCISE DESCRIPTION

Choral reading is a way of “coming together” as a group to read a text and “give it a voice.” This is a collective practice used to integrate written material and to create a group synergy through reading. The protocol for choral reading is as follows:

• The text is read in order
• Anyone may read at any moment, for as long as they wish
• Each person may choose the number of words or sentences they read
• Chacun·e est libre de répéter un mot, une phrase qu’il·elle souhaite faire résonner
• Each person is free to repeat a word or phrase they wish to emphasize
• The reading tempo is freely chosen
