Familiarize your students with the U.S. climate by exposing
them to weather reports. While you can definitely do your search of “weather
reports” on Google, www.weather.com is the perfect place to go.
As a national and local weather forecast, Weather.com features a wide range of
weather reports as well as some interesting aftermath disaster analysis. Want to
know what happened to the MS World Discover Cruise ship after it was wrecked
in 2000? Weather.com will tell you!
Another great feature of Weather.com is that not only does it provide short weather
write-ups, but also mini-clips to brush up your students’ listening comprehension.
Read a weather report or watch a video from Weather.com in class. Feel free to ask
your students to do further research on the subject and make a mini-
lesson/presentation that:
•
summarizes key points in the weather report
•
teaches 2-3 vocabulary related to the weather condition
•
gives practical tips on how to prepare for this kind of catastrophe
Is there a blizzard on the way? Your students can tell you all about it!
