The first task that I have given the students to complete is to reflect on New Zealand's weather. Being an island nation we have varied weather patterns, even over the course of one day. Many of our students here come from mainland China, meaning that they have experienced very different weather, and notice particularly our weather when they arrive. However, we have students from all over the world, whose perspective on our weather is equally valid.
I am looking for richness of vocabulary, so I'm expecting the students to use whatever resources they have at their disposal, (including me) to augment their lexicon.
For those of you who may be interested in the success (or otherwise) of this exercise you can check out the blogs of two of my students.
