After creating the news, play the weather section on the school's morning announcements. Foreign Language students can use visuals to convey their message to non Spanish/French/German speakers who also watch the morning announcements. ( Such as showing the sun with clouds and holding up numbers for the daily temperature so that English speakers can also understand what is being said.)=====


 * World Language Day presentation
