Today's Lesson
Introduction
Look at an online world map or an atlas and discuss some of the countries that your student may know of.
Talk about how weather is different in different countries. Find some countries that have very different weather to that of your own.
Discuss:
- How far away are these countries from ours?
- How would we get there?
- What is the weather (usually) like there?
Talk about the different sort of clothes we need for different weather. Look at the clothes we are wearing now. What sort of weather are our clothes good for? Hot, cold, wet, dry?
Main Activity
Ask your student to pretend they are going to visit three different countries with very different weather to each other. They would need to be ready for these weathers with the clothes they have. Look at pictures of different clothes on the internet that might be suitable. (An effective search, for example, is ‘clothes for weather’ and then select ‘Images’ – show your student the search results as they come up on the screen, and look through the various images in order to provoke discussion).
Ask your student to draw themselves in these different countries, wearing the clothes that they will need to cope with the weather there.
