Purpose for Listening

Tell students that you are going to read Annie’s first letter to them and
that their job is to listen for the different kinds of weather and for the
names of the four seasons.

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

 Name the four seasons in cyclical order, as experienced in the United
States

 Characterize winter as generally the coldest season and summer as
generally the warmest season

 Describe daily weather conditions of their own locality in terms of
temperature (hot, warm, cold), cloud cover (sunny, cloudy), and
precipitation (rain, snow)
