Weather is an ever-present phenomenon that affects our daily lives. Whether it is sunny, rainy, snowy, or windy, we all experience different types of weather throughout the year. In this lesson, we will explore the topic of weather and how to talk about it in English.
To start our lesson and to get you thinking about weather, I want you to share with us how the weather affects your daily life. Do you have a favorite type of weather? Maybe you enjoy going to the beach on a sunny day or playing in the snow on a winter day. Or perhaps you don’t like the rain because it makes your commute to school difficult. Write down your thoughts for a few minutes and we will discuss as a group.
Now that we’ve thought about how weather impacts us personally, let’s learn some new vocabulary terms related to weather. I will show you some images of different types of weather and we will practice saying the words together. Then we will work on constructing sentences about the weather in English.
Finally, to wrap up our lesson, we will listen to a weather report in English and practice interpreting it as a group. This will help you practice listening skills and reinforce the new vocabulary we’ve learned.
Overall, I hope that by the end of this lesson, you will feel more confident talking about the weather in English and have some new vocabulary to add to your language skills arsenal!
