Attention Grabber: Why does the weather change so much during the Spring and Fall in Indiana? Do you like having temperatures in the 70's one day and 30's the next?
Introduction: For the quiz tomorrow, there will be 2 questions about the different Climate types and Subtypes. We need to review them.
What are they? Have the students list them and write them on the board.
Together Work: Have everyone take out a sheet of paper for "ClimateBingo!"
1. Give each of Climate types and subtypes on the board a number.
2. Put the numbers randomly in a Bingo Board. There are 17 total.
3. As I call out a number, the student are to write ONE SENTENCE explaining the climate type or subtype. If correct, they get a point at the end.

Side-note: The sub didn't follow any of the directions that I left for him. I will be lodging a formal complaint downtown because I had the schedule for this week planned that the students would be watching the movie on Wednesday and Thursday and reviewing for the test on Friday. Now, they don't get a review day for their test because they have a project that they need to finish over the movie, which they need to see.
