General Objectives :
Developing knowledge of different subject areas through the reading of comic strips
Specific Objectives:
Working on clonning, fossils, the evolution of species and the geological eras in comic strips
Target Areas : science and biology - evolution of species, fossils, clonning,
reproduction, geological eras, biotechnologies and ethics. geography - vegetation, animals, climate, geological eras,
formation of rocks and fossils. history - pre-history, early beginnings of humanity,
technology and ethics. Portuguese - narrative text, punctuation, onomatopoeia
(insect sounds), direct speech(1st person - "Professor Bagulho! Look what I found!") and chronological order.

4. The wonderful time trip with Piteco:1) What evidences show you that the beginning of the story
takes place in pre-history? In order to answer this question, observe the written text and the images in the story.
2) Have dinosaurs and men lived together, in the same era? 3)In this comic strip story the insect has been conserved: a)
in a tree, b) in amber, c) in rocky substrata, d) in the ice 4) How did you get to this conclusion?
5. Science Wonders X Piteco:(…) 2) Why was the scientist so disappointed with the results of
his experiment?3) Why has this result occurred?4) What did he expect to get through this experiment?5)" We can remove the genetic code of dinosaurs and , by
means of modern science, create hundreds of animals like these!". Through what scientific procedure can we “create” genetically equal beings?

mankind?(…)
8. The wonders of creativity : Based on the use of Biotechnology for the benefit of mankind,
create a comic strip story that represents this scientific evolution. Remember that in order to create a comic strip story you have to relate the images of the frames to the text. A great part of the meaning comes from the images.
