Description
This activity, compiled in 7 romance languages (Portughese, Spanish, Catalan, Occitan, French, Italian and Roumanian) deals with the food chain of living beings. Learners pair up, complete, reestablish the logical order and thus reflect upon the dietary habits of animals around them as well as those of distant places. Further on, learners are asked to look up information on insects and carnivorous plants. A story entitled « The boatman, the cabbage, the goat and the wolf » presents the learner with a problem which s/he must resolve by making hypotheses. These hypotheses can be confirmed or rejected through readings in 5 romance languages. Through metalinguistic exercises learners compare variants of the prefix « de » in romance languages, the words indicating the parts of the human body as well as temporal connectors. Another exercise raises awareness of latin roots in scientific terminology (omnivore, granivore, etc.)
