Learning Objective: By the end of this lesson you should have a clear idea of what
characteristics each season has, and be able to explain why
you like one season better then the rest.
Key Definitions:
Seasons: How we
divide a year according to weather events.
Climate: Seasonal
weather events that help describe a region.
Activities:
After a lively discussion about the seasons with your classmates,
you should be able to create a chart of your own with descriptive words about
the four seasons. Use the most descriptive words you can think of!
(For example, instead of saying winter is 'cold', say it is 'icy', 'bitter'
or even 'glacial'!)
Make yourself a worksheet like this
one and see how many descriptive words you can include.
Now, with your teacher, poll your classmates and see which
season is the most popular. Which one do you think it will be?
Look at this graph and see if you can answer some of the
questions below.
How many children are in this class?
Which season is the most popular?
Which season(s) is the least popular?
How does your class's preferences compare
to this class's?
What were some of your classmates arguments
for why they enjoyed one season over the other three?
