PERIODIC WINDS

2/7

Seasonal changes of the atmospheric pressure in one place cause air flow in a certain period of time in one direction and then in

another period in the other. These are periodic winds monsoons. They cover large areas of both the land and ocean and in winter they

blow from the land which is colder at that time and above which the air pressure is higher, towards the warmer sea, whereas in summer it

is the other way round the winds blow landwards. This is why the winter monsoons are dry while the summer ones bring heavy rain.

Monsoons are not so pronounced around the equator due to little annual change in the temperature and air pressure. Higher latitudesare more favourable for their development, especially where there are no stronger constant winds, such as in the belt of subtropical calm.

Depending on the position of the area we can distinguish between two types of monsoons tropical and non-tropical.

Tropical monsoons blow in the belt up to 20*N and 15*S. they are most pronounced in South and East Asia India, Pakistan,

Bangladesh and Indochina. In summer the monsoon blows from the Indian Ocean and is actually the continuation of the southern trade

wind, which, after it has crossed the equator, changes its direction from the southeast to the southwest. The air masses saturated with

water vapour come across the Ghats Mountains in India and southern slopes of the Himalayas along which they rise and cool down,

water vapour condenses and a huge amount of rain falls. There is over 90% of the annual precipitation from June until September in

some parts of India. In winter the monsoon blows from the cold mainland of Punjabi and the foothills of the Himalayas, where at that time

the vast anti-cyclone forms. It comes from the northeast direction, which makes it a northern trade wind. The winter monsoon is dry and

weaker than the summer one, and only brings rain if it crosses the sea.

The non-tropical monsoons are the most typical in the Far East in Japan, east Siberia and east China. In the Far East the summermonsoon blows from the northwest Pacific with a lot of rain. In winter the area of high air pressure is above East Asia, with its centre in

Mongolia, while the one of low air pressure is east of Japan. The monsoon crosses over the Okhotsk, Japanese and Yellow Sea, with

the rain falling along the west coast of Japan and disappears in the northern part of the Pacific.

Besides half-a-year-long monsoons, those with half-a-day period are also considered as periodic winds. During the day they blow in

one direction, whereas at night they blow in the opposite direction. They are called daily winds like: katabatic, anabatic, valley and

mountain winds. The daily winds are most pronounced in the tropics where there are great differences in the temperature during the day.

In median latitudes they form in clear weather in the summer.

Focus on Grammar

Some words and phrases show cause and effect. For

example, in the sentences "It is cold so I wore a coat" and

"I wore a coat because it is cold," the cause is "cold"

and "wore a coat" is the effect. The words so and

because are used to show the relationship between the

cause and the effect. Identify the cause and effectin the

sentence(s) below.

Directions: Identify how the cause_effectis used in the sentence(s) below

1. Seasonal changes of the atmospheric pressure in one place cause air flow in a certain period of time in one direction and then in

another period in the other.

2. Seasonal changes of the atmospheric pressure in one place cause air flow in a certain period of time in one direction and then in

another period in the other.

Rule: The suffix ly changes an adjective into an adverb, like slowly.

3. Monsoons are not so pronounced around the equator due to little annual change in the temperature and air pressure.

4. This is why the winter monsoons are dry while the summer ones bring heavy rain.

Word Roots & Stems

Directions: Identify the word that ends with -ly in each sentence and write it on the line.

1. In summer the monsoon blows from the Indian Ocean and is actually the continuation of the southern trade wind, which, after it has

crossed the equator , changes its direction from the southeast to the southwest.

2. They are called daily winds like

Assessment

Introduction of vocabulary

Introduce the new words from

the vocabulary list in above

(see Objectives) by modeling

pronunciation, individual and

choral repitition.

Review defintions

Sample Questioning:

In your own words, explain

the definition.

Who can think of a time

when this word might be

used?

Can you use this word in a

sentence?

Whats the antonym

(opposite) of this word?

When appropriate, give

different types of learners an

opportunity to write down the

new words, associate a visual

image to cue to understanding

of the word, or develop a

physical action to increase the

students ability to remember

the new words.

ALL Students will be able to

increase their understanding

and awareness of the new

words.SOME Students will be

asked to orally demonstrate

knowledge of new words.

Reading & Comprehension

Questions

Students will read the passages

of and demonstrate

comprehension of the content

by question.

Depending on the population:

Read the entire passage aloud,

to model phrasing and fluency.

Pause at key moments and

model good reading strategies

through a think aloud. Ask

students to volunteer to read

parts of the passage aloud.

Instruct students to read the

passage silently and complete

the questions independently,

while working with students who

need more literacy help. Ask

students to complete the

questions by doing Think, Pair,

Share

ALL Students will read the

passage or follow along as the

passage is read. ALL Students

will strive to demonstrate

comprehension of the passage

by answering the questions.

SOME students will be given an

opportunity to share their

answer aloud.

Grammar

Students will review the usage

of and then identify

simple_present in sentences

from the reading. Students will

write 5 original sentences using

simple_present.

Give students need time to

work on completing their own

practice sentences for the

grammatical structure. Invite

early finishers to put their

sentences on the board or

challenge them to not only use

the grammar structure, but also

include the vocabulary from the

lesson in their sentences.

ALL Students will be able to

demonstrate an increased

Word Building: Roots and

Stems

Students will be encouraged to

take away a word-attack

strategy from this lesson by

reviewing -y, which was used in

the reading.

portion of the worksheet

individually or in pairs.

ALL students will be able to

recognize the suffix -y and

understand The suffix y

changes a noun into an

adjective, like dirty..

small groups.

ALL Students will increase their

familiarity with the new

vocabulary and their ability to

successfully use these newwords in context. Students who

get more than two of the cloze

sentences wrong should be

asked do other reinforcement

(i.e. flash cards).
