Creation of the
teaching material
If I talk about creating the voice-over reading video on weather is firstly I think about the grade level and subject to create the video. I thought of class II readers in English subject. Immediately I visited the REC website. Opening the website I clicked Textbook and Manuals, choose the grade II and English subject. There were various reader books. After thoroughly going through all the readers for that particular grade (II), finally I came to conclude that “Weather book 6” reader book is interesting and students also have the prior knowledge about the weather. Then I downloaded that particular reader. I started to screenshot the reader, page by page accordingly. I used my phone in build screen-capture to record the text while I read it. I kept trying for 2-3 times and finally was able to have a perfect voice-over reading video. Therefore I inserted the video in the blog page through the use of insert video in blog.
For the quiz question as a follow-up activity, firstly I designed ten MCQ roughly in the book. Then I login my Gmail account and went to Google apps. Under the Google apps I choose forms. Then I open a forms change the quiz title as Weather Quiz Question. I have also change the theme header of the quiz.

Instructions for the use of content-based material
I will be using the content-based material i.e. the voice-over reading video on weather throughout the two stages of the lesson that are lesson development and lesson conclusion. Instead of students struggling to read the text and have difficulties comprehending the text, the video will help students to comprehend the text and pronounce the new words correctly. The reason for uploading a video is to let students learn with equity or in other word keeping in mind their learning preference. Some students are auditory learner, where some are visual learner and some of them are kinesthetic learner. To promote the learning to those of learners, the activity is also design accordingly. There are two learning preference involved that is verbal reading is done by teacher to help those auditory learners and text are uploaded to visualize by the visual learners. After that conducting quiz as a follow-up.
