Tapón y el Día de los Muertos (historia corta 2)

Use this story with comprehension questions at the end to review high frequency structures related to the weather in Spanish.&nbsp;Students will review concepts like "¿Qué tiempo hace?" "Está lloviendo". "Hace viento". "Hace buen día" and much more!&nbsp; Before working on this short story make sure to teach the <a href="http://beta.rockalingua.com:3000/videos/weather-difficult-version&quot;">¿Qué tiempo hace? video </a>and song to your students. After&nbsp;working on the story they can also practice weather related vocabulary with these <a href="http://beta.rockalingua.com:3000/games/weather&quot;">Spanish interactive games&nbsp;for kids</a>.

Remember that there is an interactive version&nbsp;of the story where students can listen to the story and then complete the comprehension and sequencing activities&nbsp;and also a printable version. You can download the printable version by clicking the blue "Download story" button. You can also download a version without text that you can use&nbsp;to do "Picture Talk" type activities.&nbsp; If you are&nbsp;new to Comprehensive Input you can <a href="https://tprsquestionsandanswers.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/how-to-do-picturetalk/">take a look at this post by Chris Stolz </a>where he explains how to do a Picture Talk really well.
