Silent Spring
Text and worksheet

Pairwork on the content of the passage

Students receive a worksheet and use it as a guide for discussion. They work in pairs to explore the content of the text, which is the story of a fictional American town that one spring transforms dramatically from an idyllic place to a place of death and sickness for animals, humans and plants. Students first analyse the changes occurred, and then make hypotheses for the reason of the changes and look for clues in the text.

Some students notice in the text "patches of granular powder" and ask what it is.

It was DDT. Teacher gives historical and environmental data about DDT, now forbidden in many countries, and asks students what sort of contemporary contaminations they know of. The discussion ends with students' opinions on possible solutions.
