Tell the weather in Galicia, you can focus on a city or particular area if you want.

• You can project a map on the interactive board and paint the weather, or a Google Slides.
• Go to Meteogalicia and check the main information of today and yesterday (Accessed on 02/05/18).
• You can focus in a particular station next to your area (Accessed on 02/05/18).
• Does it rain? Check the radar. You can see what happens in the next hour (Accessed on 02/05/18). 
• And you can also watch live what the weather is like, you can show during your presentation the live weather (Accessed on 02/05/18). 

STEP 1. Decide the area or place.

STEP 2. Collect information on the previous links. Write down the main information.

STEP 3. Design your graphics: a presentation, a map, what drawings and information to include.

STEP 4. Write a short script following Ben´s structure: 

       1. Introduction: welcome your audience and say something nice about the weather, such as: It is great to have snow in the peak of the mountains. Show a picture and mention your headline.

       2. Middle: explain the weather and the temperatures. You can talk about numbers and technical information.

       3. End: finish with a goodbye and good wishes, such as "enjoy this sunny evening".

STEP 5. Practise in your group and organise who is telling each part.

STEP 6. Check this list, do you have it all under control?

• What is your top line?
• Are you explaining the main information?
• How can you keep your audience's attention?
• Are you speaking slowly and clearly?
• What tone of voice are you using?
• How are you interacting with your graphics?
• Are you keeping to time?
