As a group project for Pilar’s English class, the students had to prepare a type of weather forecast for any country they wanted. The groups prepared posters with weather forecasts for Germany, France, Italy, Iceland, and Switzerland.
Today I bring you the weather forecast for Germany, from Cambil.
After watching all of their great presentations, which made me quite proud as their English TA, they asked me report the weather with one of the posters. Doing eenie-minie-miny-moe I ended up doing the weather for the ICELAN(D) poster. The group for Iceland originally wrote Iceland without D!! (The Andalucian accent cuts off the end of words... and that accent slips it's way into the student's use of English in the classroom.) As I instructed them on how to correctly spell the country's name, Sergio insisted it didn't matter. When I asked him what he would think if I spelt España without an A at the end, leaving it "Españ," he giggled and realized the silliness of their misspellings.
What a great day of weather predictions it was!
