Song Presentation

Language & Vocabulary Review

You will identify and define 5 key weather-related vocabulary words found in the song.

And also differentiate between the short /ɒ/ and long /oʊ/ vowel sounds through listening practice with the song lyrics

Based on our song, here are 5 essential words to learn:

Sunny: When the sun is hot and bright in the sky.

Puddles: Small pools of water on the ground after it rains.

Clouds: White or gray shapes in the sky made of water drops.

Wind: The natural movement of the air outside.

Splash: The sound and action of water moving when you jump in it.

Pronunciation Practice

Let's practice the Short "O" vs. Long "O" sounds found in the song:

Short /ɒ/ (like a circle): Dog, Stop, Frog.

Long /oʊ/ (ends in a 'u' shape): Snow, Shows, Rocks.

Listen to the Chorus again. Can you hear the difference between "Hot" and "Snow"?

How we used Technology

To make this lesson interactive, we applied three frameworks:

CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning):

We used an AI music generator to create an original song specifically tailored to A1/A2 vocabulary.

E-Learning:

This entire lesson is hosted on LessonUp, allowing students to access the materials and interactive quizzes digitally from anywhere.

Blended Learning:

This digital presentation is designed to be used in a classroom where the teacher explains the concepts (Face-to-Face) while students interact with the digital slides on their devices (Virtual).

Conclusion

Using music helps us learn English because:

The rhythm and rhyme make it easier to remember new words like "puddles" and "splash".

The repetition in the Chorus helps us practice the pronunciation of weather terms automatically.
