Summary
When Ben Ross, a history teacher at an American high
school, shows his students a film about the Nazis and
what they did during the Second World War, they are
shocked. The students ask him how it was possible for
such a party to become so powerful in a civilised country.
Mr Ross cannot answer this question himself, but he
decides to try an experiment that might answer it. Over
the next few days he introduces his class to some new
ideas. He tells them that they are going to be part of a
team called ‘the Wave’. The aim of the team is success, and
for success you need discipline. To Mr Ross’s amazement,
the students like the Wave and the new discipline. They
begin to work much harder and do more homework. It
is as if this is what they have wanted all along. Very soon,
almost everyone in the school wants to join the Wave. But
it becomes clear that there is a darker side to such a team,
and soon the Wave is out of control.(Pinguin Readersbook)Age : A partir de 10 ans The Wave [texte imprimé] / Morton Rhue, Auteur . - 2007 . - 145 p.
