weather symbols that are a part of the map or that can be attached

b) A written script - this will be turned in and graded.
The following should be included in the forecast:
1) Begin your presentation by introducing yourself and your partner. You may include a small conversation with your partner
2) Today's weather - including Highs/lows and the record high/low for this date sunrise/sunset times
3) Tomorrow's weather- highs/lows, etc.
4) The weather for the next 3-5 days

c) Each student should speak in French for at least 2 minutes.
