Getting information about climate for the leaflet

How much do you know about the climate in your European country? Is it the same in the north or in the south, in the west or in the east of the country?

In order to find out, you can click here.

You'll get a map of Europe. Click on your country, and you will be given general information about the country, but also you will see the name of some cities in CAPITAL LETTERS. Check the location of these cities in the map of the page, and choose two of those cities (try to choose two cities with a very different location). Then click on each of the two cities and you will find a chart with the average temperatures and rainfall in those cities. Be careful, we need the information in Centigrades, not in Fahrenheit degrees. Click on "centigrade" to get the correct numbers. Then PRINT this page and bring it to the following class. If you haven't got a printer, copy the chart with the numbers.

You will use this information for your leaflet: you will write a paragraph in which you will compare the climate in both cities, considering the different seasons (summer, winter, autumn or spring) or months. You will use comparative and superlative adjectives in a variety of structures (see book, page 23)
