Weather Audio Visual

The first week of January 2009 - Had an interesting AV lesson on Weather for Grade 1. Basically, they had to be just introduced to four types of weather - sunny, rainy, cloudy, and windy. My lesson composed of pictures showing how each weather can be identified. The children enjoyed discussing about the different things they can enjoy for each type of the day. Before taking them to the AV room, I did make them observe the weather when they were out of the class. Talked about the three types of clouds you can see in the sky. When they were going back to their class after the AV, the children noted the type of cloud they could see in the sky.
I also incorporated a the interactive story on the North Wind and Sun which, I am sure gives them a basic idea that the wind makes the weather cold and the sun makes it hot. Well, the story has a moral too.
Another interesting thing in the lesson was I played them a link which made them hear the different sounds the wind make. That was fun for the kids! I have learnt that introducing sounds to the lesson makes it more real to them. I guess that helps these young fellows to retain something about the lesson.
If I were to evaluate this lesson, I would give a A+.
