Ratatouille’s Savor

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is about observing synesthesia in action within a scene from the Disney Pixar movie “Ratatouille”. It guides students to watch a specific clip from the film and then describe how synesthesia is presented in that segment. Students must consider which senses are typically involved in the activities shown in the clip, identify the additional senses that synesthesia brings into play, and reflect on how this blending of senses enhances their understanding of the main character, Remy’s, relationship with food. The worksheet is a tool for students to connect cinematic storytelling with sensory perception.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how synesthesia can be used in visual media to deepen the audience’s understanding of a character’s sensory experiences. It encourages students to analyze how different senses can be represented visually and conceptually to create a more immersive viewing experience. By considering Remy’s perspective, students learn to appreciate the role of synesthesia in character development and storytelling. This activity also helps students to explore their own sensory perceptions and the potential for creativity in expressing these experiences.
