Directions
Arrange set pieces and draw a grid on the display as shown. Use Ready Letters® to create a headline. Write the name of three U.S. cities on name plates and shuffle facedown.
Classmates form three teams and choose fun, weather-related names to add to the display. Then, a spokesperson for each chooses a name plate and adds it to the Winter Watch board. Groups track the weather using websites such as weather.com.
Teams create a brief Weather Alert newscast and update the display each day. A student volunteer updates the weather information for your home city too.
Create a final broadcast to present your observations of weather patterns between your city and the city you researched. Share examples of clothing and activity differences or include skits about building a snowman in each climate.
