Cathy X 教學 X 教育 X 哲學

1. weather sounds：http://cathystudio.pixnet.net/album/set/2697203，上網 google 超多音效的，搭配這些音效，再請學生畫各種天氣簡圖後，就可以分組錄製氣象新聞了。建議利用 windows 相片檢視器的投影片功能（按右鍵可選擇隨機播放），請學生先依各種天氣類型打好播報草稿，然後依投影出的天氣簡圖播報，挺刺激的喔。XD

2. 各種雨的擬聲：drizzle（搓手）→ sprinkle（拇指+中指）→ shower（輕拍）→ rain（重拍）→ thunderstorm（重拍+跺腳） [這是我之前在敦煌師訓聽一位在國外教英文的老師分享的！]

3. English Vocabulary Word List

4. forecast：BBC（有線上氣象播報影片）、The New York Times（只有文字敘述版）。

5. 全球暖化、氣候變遷：Al Gore: New thinking on the climate crisis

6. water cycle
