Weather and Seasons
« on: July 23, 2010, 10:27:19 AM »
Here is a filler lesson a friend and I made about the Weather and Seasons, including weather from around the world (to keep it interesting it is best to update it to the weather from the day your are teaching the lesson).

Cheers!

Looks great, thanks for the post.

Here's my spin on weather, it goes with this bomb game. I was worried about the the idioms but the kids loved it!

Hey, landry-
Thanks for the post.
How did you get the screen capture? I went to weather.com, but I must be doing something wrong. Can you help me out? I'm sure it's something I should know. Thx

Hi sorry I just saw your post now... download Screenhunter. Its free shareware that you can use to take screen captures very simply - its quite straightforward, just google the name to find it. Hope that helps!

Hi guys,

Here's my weather lesson for low level students (Middle and Elementary would both be suitable I think). Real simple lesson plan:
1) Ask them what slide 1 is then click to play the video
2) Ask them what they saw in the video...what are these things - Weather!
3) Season and weather brainstorm.
4) Introduce phrase and gap fill class activity/practice.
5) Get them to guess the locations - deserts, jungle, tundra etc.
6) If you have time do some idioms for fun.
7) Play the game...music plays they throw around the ball - when you stop the music whichever student is holding the ball has to answer the question by choosing a letter (Get the class to say the question with you, then the student holding the ball answers).

There's lots of videos attached to the pictures, so have a look at them and pick which ones you like according to level/preference/time etc.

It's a good little filler lesson, hope it helps.
