High School - Weather Topics

[incognito84]

This lesson plan is pretty straight forward.

Instead of only talking about the weather (boring) I cannabalized somark's "Natural Disasters" PPT to get some fun images and create some discussion (credit to her).

There are three parts:

-Seasons/Adjectives
-Natural Disasters
-Idioms

The worksheet quizzes the students on all three. The PPT and worksheet can be stretched out to 45-50 minutes depending on the student's level. I sometimes run out of time.

If you have extra time, show them this:

The kids get a kick out of it (as do I). Its not really related to the subject matter though...

Enjoy!

Here is an updated version of the same lesson plan.

Some of it was illogical and the wording was poor/too advanced in places.

Its attached.

A weather lesson that went well with the grade 2s in my high school. It introduces some vocab from their reading books and follows some of the stuff from their conversation textbook.

the questions on the 'give earth a hand' slide are related to the greenpeace video 'give earth a hand' (search on youtube)

Thanks.  This looks fun.  Now I must decide which lucky class gets it.

You can download open office, but i just tried to open it and clicked yes (not sure what it said, it was in Korean).

yeah i have open office on my computer but it still wouldn't open, strangee. no big deal. the lesson didn't fill the whole time with my first grad class. not sure if i'll use it for the second graders or not.

Use the PowerPoint to discuss weather vocabulary and weather appropriate/inappropriate activities. The links are to examples of bad local American weather reports--they are hilarious, my classes loved them. At the end of the PP, there are links to Seoul-based weather forecasts (and forecasts for my hometown in Colorado) which should be used to fill out the attached worksheet.

Have fun!
