Russia The novel in the classroom
A historical fiction that opens two centuries of American power — and the making of truth. Built for secondary level, at the crossroads of history, language and civics.
Je fus le Président — An American Soul is, for now, a French-language novel; classroom materials are first developed for French and European curricula (History, language, civic education, media literacy). Tell us your context below.
Democracy, from the inside
Where the textbook gives institutions, the novel steps into the Oval Office: how a decision is made, how the office weighs on the one who holds it. History becomes embodied — and so, open to discussion.
Fiction meets History
The narrative crosses real presidents and figures. Telling the documented from the imagined becomes a critical exercise: what is a source? What can fiction do — and what can it not?
A promise tested
“All men are created equal”: the thread runs from 1776 to the age of screens — a concrete way into equality, civil rights and media literacy.
Narrative vs. source
Set an excerpt against a period document (the Declaration of Independence, a presidential address): what fiction adds, omits, interprets — and why.
The office and the person
Debate what a role demands and what it changes in the one who holds it. Does power change the person?
Writing workshop
Give voice to a consciousness that crosses a studied era: adopt an internal point of view, write History from within.
The promise and its gap
Follow, chapter by chapter, the gap between the ideal proclaimed in 1776 and what was lived — a thread for thinking about equality and how it was won.
