Semantic Field of Agriculture – Word Search

Description

Semantic Field of Agriculture Word Search

Writers love to use the semantic fields of agriculture and gardening in their texts. It’s everywhere – if you know where to look! After all, farming is one of those things that pretty much every culture has in common.

You can use this semantic field in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side of things, you can compare farming to maintaining healthy relationships, growing your knowledge and becoming a better person. Just like all of those things, farming takes time, energy and dedication. Also, they all pay off in the end!

On the other hand, it can also be used in a negative way. One of the best examples of this is The Handmaid’s Tale. So many people describe women’s bodies using the semantic field of agriculture. Margaret Atwood does this to show how women have been dehumanised and treated like only their ability to make babies matters.

There are plenty of other ways that a writer can use this semantic field. So, it is a good idea for you to prepare yourself so that you notice it when it comes up.

This word search will help you with that! It has 22 official words in total, but there are others you can think of! Use this word search to inspire you and then come up with a list of your own.

There are no clues, so be careful of red herrings! There might be a word or two that is not related to agriculture or farming. Don’t let those ones catch you out!
