Lesson Plan

Entry Work Question: How does concrete and asphalt affect the amount of precipitation in the city? (Hint: look in sect. 2, chap. 14)

Attention Grabber: What city have you always wanted to visit or live in? Go around the room and have the students answer the question and why.

Introduction: We are going to be making a poster of what the climate in your city looks like. Let me show you what it should look like.

Together Work: Walk through what the students should to do create the poster.
1. Pick a city that they've always wanted to visit, live in, or are curious about.
2. Write 2-3 sentences about why they picked this city.
3. Look up the climate type on page 364 in the textbook.
4. Draw a picture of what you think the climate looks like.
5. Write a 2 paragraph "letter home" of what the climate is like. Use the book for help.

Independent Work: Have the students work on their poster. Walk around to help. They will be due at the end of class on Tuesday.
