Luke Howard was an English pharmacist and meteorologist who in 1803 developed a modern system of classifying clouds by their Latin names and appearances. He identified three main cloud genera - cirrus, cumulus, and stratus - and described their basic types and combinations. His system was adopted by the World Meteorological Organization in 1896 and remains the international standard used today for identifying clouds. The lesson discusses Howard's work in classifying clouds and naming the cloud types still used worldwide.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Lesson 5 understanding weather through time (the man who named the clouds)
1. Understanding Weather Through Time
Lesson 5: The Man Who Named the Clouds
In this lesson, students review the legend Rainbow Crow, Young Zeus,
Bonnie Bess the Weathervane Horse, How Ben Stole the Lightning, and
then travel back in time to 1772 to the United Kingdom. Students learn how
you can look up a keyword in Destiny Discover to search for a topic you
want to learn more about. I tell students I want to learn more about clouds.
We search Destiny Discover using the keyword cloud and then find the call
number for the book The Man Who Named the Clouds by Julie Hannah and
Joan Holub. I only read selected sections of this book and pair the reading
with slides to help students better understand the topic. I also paraphase
much of the information in this book. After we finish, students access their
digital book in Book Creator and identify the title, author, and illustrator on
the title page. Students also add photos to their Book Creator book from
the recently added folder in Book Creator. Students choose the pictures
related to The Man Who Named the Clouds that they want to add to their
digital book.
