Introduction
Good morning my dear students!
Today, I am going to need all your help. But first, let me introduce you my new friend:
His name is Lolo, and he is a little alien. He has came from a far planet to visit us, the humans on the Earth. What he would like to know is the different kinds of weather we have here, to check if they are the same than the ones in his planet. He is very curious. Can we help him?
Task
What are we going to do?
In groups, we are going to design a beautiful mural of the main kinds of weather we have:
-Sunny, cloudy, stormy, snowy, rainy and windy.
Why it's important a good teamwork? < Click and watch!
We are going to use different materials such as:
-Colors, markers, pencils, crayons, scissors, papers, cardboards, celofan paper, glue...
A wide range of options! You all have these available on the tables, all you need to make it gorgeous.
Process
- First, let's review the different types of weather with this video:
- Ready for a song?
- Now, we are going to put the tables and chairs in groups of four. I will make the groups. Group 1 will be SUNNY, group 2 will be WINDY, group 3 will be STORMY, group 4 will be CLOUDY, group 5 will be SNOWY and group 6 will be RAINY.
- Once all of you get ready, each group with its corresponding paper and material, you start to draw.
- In each paper must appear: the characteristics, typical pictures...
- At the end, we will put all the pictures together and we will make a big CLIMATE CALENDAR (with the season included).
Lolo is learning a lot!
