The text is useful for demonstrating the skills of scanning - looking for interesting details, and readers might extract what they think are key points to give different interpretations of 'vouivre'.
Rationale:
The link with the fantastic might interest students who play role play games or read fantastic literature
The section 'Créatures considérées comme des vouivres' contains a wide range of place names which provide good scope for pronunciation practice
Because of the range of details associated with the Vouivre the options are fairly open for students to write their own description of what one looks like, recycling language from the online text
