182 UNIT 15
VOCABULARY
The weather
1
Ask the students to look at
cloud
and say how we form
the weather adjective from the noun. Explain that when
a noun finishes in a consonant-vowel-consonant, we
double the final consonant, e.g.
fog
–
foggy
. Point out
that we often use
rain
and
snow
as verbs too, e.g.
It’s
raining
or
It’s snowing today
. Then, ask the students to
complete the table. Write the correct answers on the
board (or invite volunteers to do so) and ask the students
to check their spelling.
Answers
fog – foggy, ice – icy, rain – rainy, snow – snowy, sun – sunny,
wind – windy
2
Ask the students to look at the symbols on the weather
map first and try to say what they are before they match
them to the adjectives.
