About this resource
This quiz focuses on weather vocabulary and descriptions in English as a second language instruction, specifically designed for middle school students at the grade 8 level. The assessment targets fundamental weather terminology including sunny, rainy, snowy, cloudy, windy, foggy, stormy, hot, and cold, while incorporating Spanish prompts to support English language learners in making connections between their native language and target vocabulary. Students must demonstrate comprehension of weather-related adjectives, understand contextual clues that indicate specific weather conditions, recognize appropriate clothing and accessories for different weather scenarios, and identify opposite terms within weather vocabulary. The quiz requires students to process bilingual text, match visual representations with corresponding weather terms, complete sentence stems with appropriate weather vocabulary, and distinguish between weather-related words and unrelated terms to show mastery of the semantic field. Created by Jessica Francisco, an English teacher in Dominican Republic who teaches grade 8. This assessment serves multiple instructional purposes within an ESL classroom, functioning effectively as a warm-up activity to activate prior vocabulary knowledge, independent practice for reinforcing newly introduced weather terms, homework assignments that allow students to demonstrate understanding outside the classroom, or formative assessment to gauge student progress before summative evaluation. The bilingual format supports scaffolded learning by providing Spanish context clues while requiring English responses, making it particularly valuable for Spanish-speaking students transitioning to English academic language. Teachers can utilize this quiz during weather-themed units, seasonal discussions, or as part of broader vocabulary development programs. The assessment aligns with WIDA English Language Development Standards for vocabulary usage in academic contexts and supports Common Core State Standards for Language Arts, specifically L.8.6 regarding acquisition and use of grade-appropriate vocabulary, while addressing ESL-specific learning objectives for practical communication skills.
