Assign students to write five sentences about the current weather in their area using the vocabulary learned in class. Homework will be collected in the next lesson and checked without presentations.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about something very interesting—weather! Can anyone tell me what the weather is like today?"
(Pause for student responses.)
"Great answers! Weather can change a lot from day to day. Let’s look at some visuals to help us understand better."
(Show relevant visuals if available.)
"Now, what type of weather can you see in these pictures? Can you name any types of weather?"
(Encourage participation and name different types of weather together.)
"Now that we've introduced the topic, let's learn some important vocabulary related to weather. I will write some words on the whiteboard. Please pay close attention!"
(Write ‘sunny’, ‘rainy’, ‘windy’, ‘snowy’ on the whiteboard.)
"Repeat after me: sunny. Good! Now, rainy. Excellent! How about windy? Perfect! Finally, snowy."
"Fantastic! Let’s say them together one more time: sunny, rainy, windy, snowy."
"These words will help you describe the weather we experience. Keep them in mind as we continue with our lesson."
"Now it’s time for a fun activity! I have some weather vocabulary cards for each of you. I will hand them out now."
(Distribute the weather vocabulary cards.)
"On your cards, I’d like you to write a sentence for each type of weather. For example, for ‘sunny’, you could write 'Today is sunny, and I feel happy.' Please try to use your creativity!"
(Give students time to fill in their sentences, walking around to offer help if needed.)
"Remember to think of different types of weather and how they make you feel!"
"Now let’s work with our friends! I want you to get into pairs or small groups."
(Help students form pairs or groups.)
"Once you are in groups, take turns sharing the sentences you wrote on your cards. Discuss how the weather is in your area."
(Walk around to listen in and encourage discussions.)
"Think about questions you might ask each other about the weather, such as what is your favourite type of weather and why?"
"Let’s come back together, everyone! I’d like to collect your weather vocabulary cards."
(Collect or check the cards as students hand them in.)
"Now, I will take a moment to give some feedback. I noticed some wonderful sentences! Some of you used the vocabulary perfectly."
"However, I also saw some common mistakes, like forgetting to use full sentences. Let's remember to do that next time!"
"Great job today discussing and learning about weather. I hope you had fun!"
