different situations of what clothes they wear in what weather. Once I am sure they
understand I will have them work in partners to cut out their flashcards and discuss what
we have been talking about.

Once the students have their flashcards cut out. I will call on students to talk about the
flashcards to make sure they an understanding of the different types of weather.

Questioning strategies:
I will ask questions to evaluate if they have a firm understanding of what we have
discussed so far. I will then give them the worksheet Weather-Clothes-Food.

I will complete the first two questions with the students. I will then have the students
work in different groups to complete the worksheet Weather-Clothes-Food.

Independent Practice
My hope is that the students can finish the worksheet in class. However, any part of the
worksheet not completed will be homework.

Closure
I will discuss the answers the children chose for their worksheets. I will ask questions to
make sure they have a clear understanding of the weather and to challenge their
answers to have them explain why they chose the answers they did. I will then discuss
why it is important to understand the connection between the weather and the clothes
we wear or the activities we do.
