- Discuss with the class the task of developing a presentation system and the need to investigate how weather information is presented,
eg on TV, in newspapers, on teletext. The discussion should elicit the different forms of information,
eg weather maps, graphs, statistics, written form.
- Ask the pupils to work in groups to investigate two different sources. These sources can then be shared between the groups. Ask the pupils to identify how the weather is presented in detail and what purpose it performs,
eg giving predictions for visitors or farmers, reviewing holiday resorts.
- Hold a plenary discussion to compare different ways of presenting weather information and the reasons for presenting information in different ways.
- Explain to the pupils how to distinguish facts from opinions and how far information is complete and helpful.
