A very large landscape with a lot of diferent approaches possible.
Indeed, before the outing, the pupils discovered that a landscape doesn't exist. It's a representation : picture, drawing, poem, story, description, map, symbols...
But, each landscape has his own history too : in this case, geologics changes due to volcano, rains, wind... or changes due to human people (architecture, fields of growing), or history like displacements of people (in this case, fleeing slaves)
The name of a few montains keep the track of this history : here we've got the Cimendef's top and closed to it the Marianne's crest. Both were slaves who married. And Marianne was the daughter of a fleeing slave, Anchaing, who's name is the name of a piton (the only one of Unesco in the Salazie cirque), his own refuge during 10 years.
So, the pupils had to build their own approach of the landscape.
Unfortunatly, the weather was bad in the cirque and they didn't see
Mafate. Only the part oustide the cirque
They had to do pictures and give a title, then pictures with a title it's impossible to understand without explanation. They had to take pictures in a bag (all landscappes of Reunion Island) and inquire the tourists people to have informations about this. They had to read (story, poem), and to draw. They worked as groups and shared ttheir own work.
There was a picture contest with themes : brown, creepage, incongruous, empty space...
The teaching method used cooperation, creativity, own choice, sharing.
At the end, we were at the atmsophere's observatory. The encharged, Valentin Duflot, welcomed us and explained the role of the structure (study of atmosphere, with international partners like Nasa) and the diferent jobs necessary to work.
Then, in the pictures you'll see this diferents moments and examples of pupil's work.
About writing, they had to close their eyes and note 3 words to qualify what they felt. For example, they wrote : wind, heat, noise of walking, culture, homogeneous, nature, respect, relaxation, family, desert, empty space, glacial, wildlife, empty air, journey...
And to finish, what pupils with the biggest school dificulties wrote (with 4 themes imposed) : "This place is impossible to flee. We are only able to contemplate it.The slopes are tremendous. There are a lot of visiting people and families who come. When you are here, you enjoy pace the landscapes. There is a lot of fauna and flora. Then, tourists are numerous to contemplate the empty space. But, in this place there is a lot of changing weather, from freshness to the fire of the sun".
