Our class will be communicating a daily weather report through e-pals discussing to a fourth grade class in Florida. Our students would contact these students as we learn about the different climate types. Along with a description of that days "daily readings" they can discuss why the weather is different. These daily readings should include temperature, precipitation,dew point, humidity, and wind speed. The students can also discuss how the weather affects the activities they do after school and on the weekends. After communicating with the other students, our class could make a log of the weather in Florida according to their pen pal. After recording the information the students could write a short story that is set in Florida. They would include the weather and how it affects the lifestyle of the people there and how it is different than our weather here. The students will also be able to better understand why the weather is the way it is, even though it may be winter in Florida, and know the differences between Michigan and Florida winters, and the reasons behind them.
