Objective: To engage Year 2 students with the topic of hurricanes by sparking their curiosity and creativity right at the start of the lesson.
Today, we are going on a special journey through time to learn about one of nature’s most powerful forces: hurricanes! But before we dive deep into our lesson, let’s imagine something together!
Gather Around: Have the students sit in a circle.
Story Time: Start by telling them a short, exciting story:
"Once upon a time, in a little coastal town, there lived a brave cat named Whiskers. One sunny day, Whiskers noticed some strange dark clouds forming above the ocean. The wind began to howl, and the waves grew big and wild! Whiskers could feel that something powerful was coming. The townspeople spoke in hushed voices about an adventure that would change their lives forever—a hurricane! But what is a hurricane, and where do they come from?"
Discussion Starter: After the story, ask the students:
Now that we’re all curious about Whiskers and the adventure ahead, let’s uncover the truth about hurricanes together! We will learn about where they come from, how they affect people, and what we can do to stay safe.
With the imaginative story and engaging questions, we have sparked the students' interest in hurricanes. They are excited to learn the facts, history, and real-life impacts of these fascinating weather events!
