Beau, pas beau

We continue to explore Dr. Gillian Judson’s walking curriculum. On this nature outing, students were asked to look for ‘beautiful’ and ‘not beautiful’ elements around our school.

Rocks, lichen, and flowers were beautiful to most students; litter wasn’t beautiful. Mushrooms, specifically decaying mushrooms, drew a mixed reaction. Est-ce que c’est beau ou pas beau?

What about invasive species? Can they be beautiful? One student pointed out an invasive ivy plant. He considered it ‘pas beau’ for its damaging effect on our local ecosystem.

We next want to examine our findings and question how all things spotted on our walk may help our environment. Of course, it’s possible that not all of them can!
