Lesson 22: Write About Seasons or Weather Changes

✍️ WRITING (40 Lessons) • 🟡 C. Creative Writing

← Back to Level 2

Objective

I can write a short paragraph about a season or a weather change with a clear topic sentence, 2–3 fitting details, and a closing sentence that wraps up the idea.

Materials

Tip: Think about what you see, hear, feel, and do in that season or weather. Those sensory details make writing strong.

Mini-lesson — Writing about seasons

  1. Choose a focus: Pick one season (spring, summer, fall, winter) or a change (rainstorm, windy day, snow).
  2. Topic sentence: Name the season/weather and your main idea. Example: Spring is my favorite time because everything wakes up.
  3. 2–3 details: Describe actions or senses that fit (e.g., flowers bloom, puddles splash, warm sun).
  4. Closing sentence: Wrap it up with a feeling or final thought.
  5. Helpful connectors: first, next, then, finally or because, so.

Guided Practice — Trace on the Pad

Trace key words, then draft a tiny paragraph (4 sentences) about your chosen season or weather:

  • Key words: topic, detail, closing, because, finally
  • Example outline (rainy day):
    1. Topic: Rainy days are cozy and fun at home.
    2. Detail: We listen to raindrops tap the windows.
    3. Detail: I read books and draw by a warm lamp.
    4. Closing: Rain helps plants grow, and I feel calm.

Tip: Read your draft out loud. Do your details match the season or weather you chose?
