|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Briefly introduce the topic of climate zones, asking students what they already know. |
| 2 | Presentation | 10 min | Use a world map to present various climate zones (tropical, arid, temperate, etc.) and explain their characteristics. |

Students are to create a short report (1-2 pages) on one climate zone of their choice, including its characteristics and how it affects the people living there. The homework will be submitted without presentation in class. Teaching staff will verify completion through written submissions.
Students' understanding will be evaluated based on their participation in group activities, contributions during class discussion, and the completeness of their homework report.
