Activator Weatherman freaks out over “THUNDERSNOW” in Chicago 2 MINUTES - Think, Pair, Share: What unique weather phenomenon have you experienced? (Ex: Tornado, Hurricane, Blizzard, etc.)
Today, you will get a chance to be weather forecasters! • Glue your “weather observation” ½ sheet into your notebook. • We are going to go OUTSIDE to observe the weather. • It is VERY important that you fill in all boxes of your guided note sheet.
While we are outside… • Stay ON TASK. • Follow directions the FIRST time they are given. • Stay WITH the class. • Act right!!!!!!! Failure to follow these rules will result in an AUTOMATIC referral
When we return… • You will get in groups of NO MORE than 4 people. • You will be responsible for writing a DRAFT script of a weather forecast (one that is going to be on TV) • We will do peer revisions & start second-draft corrections today. • I will give you feedback on Monday.
When we return… • You will make a final copy on Monday and we will begin video recording Monday as well. • Things to Note: • Not EVERYONE in your group has to be on camera, but everyone MUST participate on the final in some way (ex: cameraman, video editing, director, etc.)
