Teaching Tips

Positives

  • This video is appropriate for young learners and is easy to follow.

Additional Prerequisites

  • It may be helpful to pause the video to check for understanding with younger students.

Differentiation

  • The analogy of the kinds of clothes a person owns vs. what they will wear on a given day might be a really good one to elaborate on. For example:
    • Would a student who lives in tropical area need the same kinds of clothes as a person who lives in high mountains?
    • What about someone who lives in a hot desert vs. someone who lives in a polar region?
  • Similar resources include this video, this lesson, and this digital text.
