Teachers, save “[LISTENING] The weather forecast” to assign it to your class.

Watch the video and answer the following questions: True or false? (skimming) This forecast focuses on today’s weather. (T) People in the North may need an umbrella. (T) It is dry today in the East. (F) It is sunny in the middle of the country. (F) The South has the best weather for the day. (T) Short answers (scanning) What is the weather going to be like in the North? (very windy and cold) How about the East? (rainy) What is it like in the West? (dry and cloudy) Where are the highest temperatures? (in the South) Amplification: higher achieving students may want to take a chance at trying to figure out which country this forecast belongs to, and they can write their reasoning in a short paragraph. Reinforcement: multiple choice. (very windy and cold, very cold and sunny, cool and rainy) (dry, warm, rainy) (rainy, stormy, dry and cloudy) (in the middle, in the South, in the West)
