Unit 4 Lesson 11 Weather Around the World（第二课时） Lesson Focus • Weather adjectives • Talking about tomorrow's weather in your town • Future simple tense • Words with the sounds /m/, /n/ and /ŋ/ Exercise 6 Purpose: to help students make sentences in the future simple with cues · Say "Say the name of a city!" Elicit the name of a city, for example, Hangzhou. Write it on the board. Say "Tell me at least one adjective to describe the weather". Elicit an appropriate response, for example, cold and cloudy. Then say "Tell me a day in the future". Elicit an appropriate response, for example, tomorrow afternoon. Write that on the board. Then say "Let's make a sentence from these words". Elicit a sentence from your students, for example, It will be cold and cloudy in Hangzhou tomorrow afternoon. If you feel your students are ready, you may skip this step. · Direct students to the words. Say " Make sentences with the words". Monitor as students write sentences, offering assistance as needed. Direct students to the weather report in Exercise 3 as a model, particularly for item 3 (There will be. .. ) and item 4 (It'll be a ..day... ). · Go over the answers, having students first compare them with a partner. Then have individual students read the sentences aloud. Answers 1. It will be cold and snowy in Shanghai tomorrow afternoon. 2. Tomorrow it will be sunny in Sydney. 3. There will be rain in London tomorrow night. 4. It will be a cloudy day in New York on Saturday. · If time allows, do Workbook page 92, Exercise 3. Alternately, assign for homework. Expansion: Mix It Up! As an alternate approach, or to revise the future simple, write the words and phrases from the exercise on cards or pieces of paper, making enough sets for each pair of students. Give the students the cards and have them make sentences in the future simple, using the cues. Keep in mind, students may mix up the words to produce any number of sentences, for example, There will be rain in New York tomorrow aftern
