Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Use Spanish expressions for weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, etc.) correctly.

  • State a temperature in Spanish using the 'Hace + number + grados' formula.

  • Evaluate true/false statements about a weather calendar and correct false ones in Spanish.

  • Independently describe the weather and temperature for a given date entirely in Spanish.

Teaching tips

  • Review the vocabulary reference page as a whole-class warm-up before assigning the calendar-based exercises.

  • Have students complete the true/false page first as guided practice, since it provides a worked example, before moving to the open-response page.

  • Use the included answer key to let students self-check the true/false corrections before submitting the open-response page.

Skills covered

  • Spanish weather vocabulary -- students learn and apply terms for sky conditions, temperature, and seasons (e.g., hace sol, está nublado, hace frío).

  • Reading comprehension with a data source -- students read a printed weather calendar and determine whether Spanish statements about it are cierto or falso.

  • Written correction in the target language -- for false statements, students write an accurate replacement sentence in Spanish rather than simply marking it false.

  • Open-response weather description -- students independently write full Spanish answers describing the weather and temperature on four assigned calendar dates.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

The weather calendar lists temperatures like 94° and 102° -- is that Fahrenheit or Celsius?

The calendar uses Fahrenheit degrees (e.g., 'Hace noventa y cuatro grados' for 94°), the US convention, rather than the Celsius scale used in most Spanish-speaking countries, so teachers introducing authentic regional weather reports may want to note the difference.
