Use this right after the goal slide to activate prior knowledge. Accept simple words like sun, rain, hot, clouds, windy, cold, sky. Briefly praise any English weather word students can share.

Learning Goal

Students will be able to identify and describe basic weather conditions ( sunny ☀️, rainy 🌧️, cloudy ☁️, windy 💨) using simple vocabulary and visual aids through a song, to express what the weather is like and their daily environment.

Students will identify, understand, pronounce, and use basic weather words.

Weather Detective!

Please, look outside. What is the weather like today?

Choose or write:

Today it is ________.

What do you see?

First, invite students to look outside or at the sky through the window. Then use a LessonUp open question or image choice. Ask for a visual clue after the answer. Expected words: sunny, rainy, cloudy, windy. This shows blended learning because students combine classroom observation with a digital response.

What is Weather?

The weather tells us what the air and sky are like during the day.

☀️ Sunny – The sun is shining.

🌧️ Rainy – Water falls from the sky.

☁️ Cloudy – There are many clouds.

💨 Windy – The air is moving.

What weather do you like most?

After introducing each word, let students point to the matching photo or icon. End with a quick preference response: 'Which weather do you like?'

E-learning

Pronunciation Practice

Embed the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/DYdhT2DMzes as a short support activity. Keep it brief and clearly secondary to the song. Let students predict two words before viewing, then respond after watching. This demonstrates e-learning through online audiovisual input.

Weather Picture Challenge

Look at the photo.

Type the word:

It is ______.

Then say the full sentence:

It is rainy.

Use your best weather word.

Show four new real weather photos one by one. Students type a word, not just choose it. After typing, they say the full sentence aloud. Expected answers include sunny, rainy, cloudy, and windy. This combines digital images, typing, and speaking.

Weather Role-Play Game: TV Broadcast 🎤

Live Weather Broadcast! 📺🎤

Pair up with a classmate and act as news anchors!

• Student A: "Good morning! What's the weather like today?"

  
  

• Student B: "It is ________ (sunny / rainy / windy / cloudy) today!"

Students first use the LessonUp image, then speak with a partner, then connect to the real environment by looking outside. Switch roles after each image. Optional extension: 'I like sunny weather.' This clearly demonstrates blended learning.

Class Feedback & Reflection

• C) 🤔 I need more practice.

What new weather word did you learn today?

• ☀️ Sunny | 🌧️ Rainy | ☁️ Cloudy | 💨 Windy

Students write one short sentence digitally, then say it aloud to a partner. Focus on producing language, not memorizing a text.

Technology + English Learning

CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning)

• Students use digital tools on Lesson-up (multiple-choice quizzes, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence ordering) to practice weather vocabulary interactively.

Application of CALL, E-learning, and Blended Learning

E-learning

• Learning supported by multimedia content: AI-generated weather songs, educational videos, and audio clips for active listening comprehension.

Blended Learning

• Combines digital practice on screens with real-world observation and speaking (looking outside the window and reporting the daily weather).

Keep this visual and simple with icons such as headphones, tablet, classmates, and a window. Briefly connect examples from today: AI song, LessonUp tasks, partner speaking, and looking outside.

Why AI Music Helps Us Learn English?

1. 🎵 Makes learning fun & natural: Songs turn practice into a game, keeping students motivated.

2. 🧠 Boosts memory: Catchy rhythms help us remember new vocabulary (like weather words) much faster.

3. 🗣️ Improves pronunciation: Singing along lets us practice sounds and intonation easily.

4. 🌍 Connects to real life: It bridges digital learning with our everyday environment.

End with a quick whole-class review. You can use a simple response check for: 'Did the song help you learn the weather words?' Expected reflection options: yes, a little, or not yet.

What did we learn?
