COLLE 14: THE MEDIA AND THE PRESS

Vocabulary: Learn the vocabulary for this colle. Your colleur will test you at the beginning of the session. Make sure you can spell all words correctly in English.

To help you prepare for your colle, I have also added a folder entitled "COLLE TEXTS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS (to help you prepare for your colle)" containing colle texts from previous years. You can use these texts to broaden your reflection on the topic and to find additional examples and arguments, but these are NOT the texts you are to prepare for this colle.

• First student: home preparation of this week’s text. Only BRIEF notes are allowed. Do not come with fully written-out notes or your colleur will collect them. This is an oral test: you must sound fluent and spontaneous.
• Second student: 20-minute preparation of a newspaper article (≈500 words) dealing with the media and the press (freedom of the press, fake news, misinformation, social media platforms, algorithms, online polarisation, censorship, whistleblowing, public trust in the media, etc.), provided by the colleur.
• Third student: 30–40-minute preparation of a 2025 CCINP recording selected by the colleur from this selection: 19, 52, or 62.

Please make sure to download the files before coming in. The cellular connection is weak in Building D.

Pronunciation: make sure you know how to say these words

• journalism /ˈdʒɜː.nə.lɪ.zəm/
• newspaper /ˈnjuːzˌpeɪ.pə/
• freedom of the press /ˈfriː.dəm əv ðə pres/
• misinformation /ˌmɪs.ɪn.fəˈmeɪ.ʃən/
• algorithm /ˈæl.ɡə.rɪ.ðəm/

Concours Blanc : pas de colles cette semaine

Nous reconduisons le principe de la séance du 4 mai : les connexions internet seront interdites ce jour-là. Vous devrez donc arriver à la séance du 18 mai avec de nouveaux documents papier à analyser. Nous pouvons aussi vous proposer d'imprimer vos documents le jour-même mais à condition que vous ayez déjà extrait les parties utiles, que vous les ayez regroupées dans un seul document au format pdf de moins de 20 pages (lien vers un tutoriel pour diviser/fusionner un/des pdf) et que ce document soit déposé dans cahier de prépa avant 13h30 le 18 mai (lien pour le dépôt du fichier).

Le concours blanc se déroulera au dernier étage du bâtiment E (bâtiment du GRETA).

C'est le même bâtiment que celui des salles E1 et E2 mais, pour vous y rendre, il ne faut pas descendre l'escalier qui mène aux salles E1 et E2 mais monter celui à l'angle du bâtiment E (porte en bois ; voir la croix rouge sur le plan ci-dessous).

Planning du concours blanc.

Suite à quelques demandes, voici des statistiques du lycée

Un ancien élève, Gurvan Jodin, va venir faire une conférence à destination des élèves de PCSI et MPSI, option SII. Il est passé par la PCSI, puis la PSI. Cette conférence aura lieu le Vendredi 22 Mai, de 16h à 18h, à l'amphi de Vauban.

Votre présence est obligatoire.

Voici quelques mots sur sa conférence:

Itinéraire : de la prépa à la recherche scientifique aux frontières de l'électronique.

Je vais vous présenter mon parcours depuis le Lycée Vauban jusqu’à l’ENS Rennes où je suis enseignant chercheur. Spécialisé en mécatronique, je vous parlerai ensuite de quelques travaux de recherche autour de l’écoconception d’électronique de puissance, de capteurs flexibles pour les sportifs ou encore mesure de tourbillons dans le sillage de poissons…

Le programme du concours blanc portera sur tous les chapitres de l'année, du chapitre 0 au chapitre 19 (partie 1, avant l'espérance).

Les deux derniers chapitres de probabilités ne devraient pas être réellement évalués, mais il se peut qu'une question soit posée, pour tester l'aspect complet des connaissances acquises.
