Descriptions

 The presentation I have prepared is simulation based on teaching grade III students about Weather in English subject.  The reason behind choosing this topic is I found it suitable and informative to teach with the use of ICT integration in the classroom since it is comprehensible to learn through seeing the real life situation in animated form. In that way, I can convince the information about the types of weather together without wasting much time delivering different types of weather to occur outside and then teaching a lesson. The main objective of this simulation lesson is to help each child to identify and describe the types of weather like rainy, sunny, windy, and snowy, in their daily life after learning or going through this simulation.  In addition, the children can comprehend the knowledge of four types of weather in a short period watching this simulation with attractive gifs, pictures and animations like a real thing happening around.   

How did I create the materials?

As a young learner, the animations, sound or music and the colorful pictures in their learning usually attract children, which enable them to involve and understand the lesson clearly. To fulfill those things, I have come up with this simulation lesson through use of ICT integrations.

I have downloaded the relevant gifs and animated pictures to cover the concept on weather in order to convince the better information and to let student keep the information for longer duration. Moreover, the young children love the beautiful pictures and gifs in their day-to-day learning.  The gifs and animated pictures I have downloaded are interesting and fascinating to the eyes of young children. I have inserted the background music in the slides because it will boost the student’s attention in the slides or while learning the lesson on weather. I have also used simple languages for the younger children to convince with the appropriate information and let them understand the content well. In addition, I have written a less relevant sentence using simple language in every slide as per the children’s capacity to understand and learn the content in their level.

 

When to use the materials?

The materials can be used in lesson development and the learning activity. The reason is, in lesson development, the information input is addressed and the teacher can use this simulation to teach the concept along with the examples from the slides to aid information input in a better way. During learning activity, the slides can be used to complete the student’s activity as they can use their previous learnt knowledge from the slides. Moreover, students can explore more on this content via doing an activity that lets to use this slides.

Furthermore, it also makes the students to do activity on matching the weather pictures along with the situation, which ensure retaining information for long duration and effective teaching and learning.

Activity Instruction: 

1.       You will do the activity individually.

2.      There are five situations according to the types of weather.

3.      You are supposed to match the four types of weather with the given situations.

4.      Whoever finished the work first with correct matching will be the winner and award the mark for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd.  You have to say BINGO if you complete the activity.

5.      You should not discuss and get help from each other and if I happen to see you discussing then I will not consider your work.
