Description
This activity brings the period of Humanism, the Renaissance and its great discoveries to the pupil’s attention. The learner activates his/her intercomprehension skills when he/she examines 7 documents in 7 different romance languages (Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, French, Romanian, Catalan and Occitan). From these documents as well as the reading of two multilingual biographies, the pupil discovers the life of several personalities who had a determining effect on their times (Erasmus, Mercator, Rabelais, Christopher Colombus and Leonardo da Vinci). The learner also discovers knowledge about the origin and development of romance languages. As far as language work goes, the learner arrives at explicit discoveries: he/she identifies adjectives and nouns and compares their forms. The activity also proposes scanning which leads to the identification and discussion of the formation of adverbs in the languages in question.

Approach: Intercomprehension

Type of material: Iconic documents; sound
