I went over the maps for the 1st 2 pages of the yellow worksheet packet. I actually showed the isobars and isotherms and the students drew them on their papers. Tomorrow I'll go over the fronts and help them with the "weather map." I explained how folktales are great weather predictors. This should help them with the folktales page.
