Exploration: What's for Dinner, or Supper? Directions: Think of all the words you know that are used to describe eating practices.


 * snack
 * lunch
 * supper
 * dinner
 * brunch
 * breakfast

1. Organize your lists according to the time of day you'd eat them.

Morning- breakfast Noon- lunch, snack, brunch Night- supper, dinner

2. Can some words signify more than one mealtime? Yes, because I use the words "lunch" and "snack" to mean to eat around noon. I also use the words "supper" and "dinner" to describe what I want to eat at night time.

3. Are there some mealtimes that only one name? Yes, breakfast. I know no other name for breakfast.

4. Do some of the names of meals suggest formal or informal? I feel like "dinner" is more formal than "supper." Also, "lunch" is more formal than "snack."

5. Who makes the decisions regarding the names of mealtimes? When I was younger I always heard my parents use these mealtime names, so I continue to use them. I feel like people use them based on where they are from and how their families use them.
