Flannel Board Rigel Romeu Social Group: Ana
Valéria Félix Escola Municipal Uruguai Rua Ana Neri, 192 This work was developed by Rigel Romeu at “Escola
Municipal Uruguai”, in cooperation with Geography Professor Ana Valéria
Félix, who lectures fundamental school students throughout the 2nd
semester of 2008. The professor teaches her students course contents as well
as how to become better citizens and care for our planet. This was the
greatest motivation to choose her lecture as a research location. During the
visits to the school, the contextualization of the course contents, reality
and attitudes that the students had to develop to improve the world were
observed. Following the group of words that compose the vocabulary universe
of Ana Valéria, I recognize as project theme: “Making a difference is
learning and teaching to receive and distribute kindness”. This
content was approached during discussions about developing countries X
underdeveloped countries, child labor, IDH, amongst others. The idea of
building a flannel board where antagonistic situations could be worked upon
using images, phrases, words and with the active participation of the
students. The final product was made following the fusion of two experiments.
A flannel board was made with a projected tree on which the students could
correlate images of current problems such as pollution, deforestation, global
warming, violence and urban density, as well as solution proposals, to images
of desired situations such as preserved wild animals, recycling,
reforestation and care towards society and the planet, together with
proposals for its maintenance. We tried to associate the problem images to
dried leaves and good images to flowers and green leaves. The water drops,
kindness, feed the tree and the society. The panel and the tree were made of
felt. The flowers and leaves with felt and “Brescia”, and acetate envelopes
in which to insert words and images. The drops were made of synthetic
material. Velcro was used to fix the elements. The professor uses the product
through a drawing of the elements between the students who arrange the
elements of the flannel board in the way they identify the problems and their
solutions. I have learned to identify the wish of the professor, by
accompanying her activities, getting to know the project and becoming
involved with it. Several experiments led to the final product, always
thinking of situations where they would be used. My perception of interesting
experiments was not always perceived that way by the professor. Observation
of the hot and cold stages was fundamental for understanding the
intercessor’s choice. Various studies of different shapes, materials and
techniques should be done for the development of each element of the product.
Exchanging ideas and learning to observe and listen to other people expands
the analysis of the project’s functionality and its elements in the activity. I thank Prof. Ana Valéria Félix for the opportunity
to do this work, for the way she received me and followed the stages of this
process. Furthermore, for showing us that, despite the difficulties
encountered at public schools, it is possible to teach with joy, mobilization
and in search of a better world. Subject: DSG 1002 Class: 1AH Professores:
