第六課時（項目式學習）
Project: Give a live weather report
本課學習目標
通過參與“Give a Live Weather Report”的項目式學習活動，學生能夠：
1.準確讀取并理解提供的天氣信息，根據(jù)成都的天氣數(shù)據(jù)，編寫一份包含關鍵天氣要素的實時天氣預報。學生能夠識別并提取表格中的關鍵信息，如日期、溫度、降水情況等，并巧妙地將其融入自己的報告中，確保報告內容既準確又生動。
2.以小組為單位，自主選擇一座城市，并收集該城市某一天的詳細天氣信息。學生需要合作制作一個與示例表格相似的天氣信息表，通過這一過程，學生將鍛煉自己的信息收集、整理以及團隊協(xié)作能力，確保所收集的天氣信息全面且準確。
3. 根據(jù)收集到的天氣信息，編寫一份完整的天氣預報，并自信地向全班同學展示。學生需要綜合運用語言技巧、邏輯思維和創(chuàng)意表達，使天氣預報既準確傳達了天氣信息，又富有吸引力和感染力。通過口頭表達和書面展示相結合的方式，學生能夠清晰地傳達天氣狀況、對人們日常活動的影響以及相應的建議。

How do we give a weather report
Giving a weather report involves presenting current and forecasted weather conditions in a clear and concise manner. Here are some steps and tips to help you deliver an effective weather report:
1. Gather Information
Reliable Sources: Use trusted sources like weather websites (e.g., , AccuWeather), meteorological agencies (e.g., NOAA in the US, Met Office in the UK), or weather apps.
Data to Include: Temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation (rain, snow, etc.), cloud cover, and any weather alerts or advisories.

2. Structure Your Report
Introduction: Start with a greeting and a brief overview of the weather situation.
Current Conditions: Describe the weather right now. For example, “It’s currently sunny with a temperature of 22°C and light winds from the northwest.”
Short-Term Forecast: Provide details for the next few hours. For example, “This afternoon, expect increasing cloud cover with a chance of scattered showers.”
Long-Term Forecast: Give an overview of the next few days. For example, “Tomorrow will be partly cloudy with a high of 25°C. Tuesday brings a cold front with heavy rain and lower temperatures.”
Special Alerts: Mention any weather warnings or advisories. For example, “A heat advisory is in effect for the weekend, with temperatures expected to reach 35°C.”
How do we give a weather report
3. Use Clear and Simple Language
Avoid overly technical jargon. For example, say “heavy rain” instead of “intense precipitation.”
Use relatable terms like “sunny,” “windy,” “cold,” or “humid.”
4. Visual Aids
If presenting on TV or online, use maps, radar images, and charts to illustrate your points.
Point out key areas on the map where weather conditions are significant.
5. Be Concise and Relevant
Focus on the most important information for your audience. For example, if you’re reporting for a specific city, highlight local conditions and forecasts.
Keep it brief but informative. Aim for a balance between detail and brevity.
6. Safety Tips
If there are adverse weather conditions, provide safety tips. For example, “With thunderstorms expected, avoid outdoor activities and seek shelter.”
