These clouds are like a sketch. What are clouds like?
You can write an artistic description of clouds by looking at these essay options.
Probably, each of us likes to watch water flowing, fire burning and... clouds floating in the sky. Every time these air balls make you look away at least for a minute and raise your head up.
A light breeze blows and they appear against a blue background - light, snow-white, funny. Clouds float by like waves. When I was little, I thought it was cotton candy that played with me, forming various images of animals. What do clouds look like?
It seems like an ordinary cloud, some elements of water vapor. But if you look closely, you can see a dragon, an African elephant, and a ship with air sails that carry it to unknown worlds. They are like pieces of something big, mysterious. And they cannot connect, meet. And we will never know what it was from the very beginning.
Clouds are always the harbinger of good weather. After all, as you know, after cloudy weather the bright sun will definitely come out. And when winter comes, the clouds will give us snow. It will cover the roofs of houses, forests and fields with a white carpet. Therefore, clouds have a very important role - they are the basis of moisture in nature. In summer they protect from the scorching sun, and in winter - from hypothermia.
Therefore, if you feel sad or lonely, just take your mind off your problems, raise your head, look at the clouds, the sky and dream. Imagine a fairy tale with knights and princesses around you. Don’t be shy, because we are all children at heart.
How can you describe clouds?
I love looking at the sky and the clouds, which look so much like big castles in the air. Unusual fairy-tale creatures live in these castles. For example, unicorns, dragons, elves and pegasi. You can also see different animals: crocodiles, rams, horses, little tiger cubs and lion cubs. You might think that there is a whole castle-zoo in the sky.
I like watching the clouds - it’s so interesting!!!
Description of the sky essay
My favorite pastime is to look out the open window and watch a variety of clouds. And now, I have opened the window and admire the picture of the approaching thunderstorm. Heavy, thunderclouds are gathering on the horizon. They are a gloomy dark gray color. In the distance you can see several more small light gray clouds, floating away quickly due to the strong gusty wind. Thunderclaps are heard, and then there is lightning, illuminating the lush clouds with a purple hue. It started to rain. The clouds became almost black; they began to chase each other like shadows, running away beyond the horizon. It's good that the thunderstorm was short-lived. The first rays of sunshine appeared through the clouds. Each cloud becomes lighter and lighter, letting in more and more sunlight. The clouds are becoming lighter and more delicate, some of them resemble funny, outlandish animals. Another hour passed and the clouds seemed to dissolve into the blue sky.

How much light, how much sun
And the skies turn blue.
It comes to visit us
The long-awaited... (spring).
A. Kochergina
Spring is coming, so I really want to be outside more and watch streams, green grass, and the first flowers. It’s also interesting to watch...
Guess the riddles and you will find out what we will be watching today.
Milk spilled high in the blue.
It spread like white-bluish cotton wool. (Cloud)They fly without wings
They run without legs, they swim without sails. (Cloud)
– What do you think is the topic of today’s lesson? What will the lesson be about?
– Day and night clouds travel in the heavenly expanse. Over forests and fields, over seas and oceans, these eternal wanderers float, obeying the wind.
– What are clouds? What do you know about clouds?
– Clouds are water that has evaporated - turned into steam - from the seas, oceans and from the surface of the earth. Light steam rose high into the sky and turned into a small cloud. It floats above the ground, merges with other clouds, collects water vapor and turns it into raindrops. While the cloud grows, the wind will carry it far from the place where it originated.
Clouds
Clouds, clouds, lush, white,
Tell the clouds, what were you made of?
Maybe you, clouds, were made from milk?
Maybe from chalk? Maybe from cotton wool?
Maybe from white crumpled paper?"Never! Never! - the clouds answered, -
We were never made from milk,
Never made of chalk, never made of cotton wool.
Never white, crumpled paper.We are rain, we are snow.
If we sail in the summer,
We carry the storm with us,
If we sail in winter,
We carry the blizzard with us,
That’s what we are!” (I. Maznin)
– Clouds are an important nature-forming factor. They influence both the precipitation regime and the temperature regime on Earth.
– Let’s open the diary of observations in the workbook on the world around us and note what the weather is like today: cloudiness, precipitation, wind force, temperature. Show cloudiness on the model:
What error was made in the cloud image? (In the second image the half should be black)

The word is derived from “cloud” (that which envelops).
The word “cloud” is a dictionary word; you need to remember its spelling. Form words with the same root and highlight the root.
Cloud, cloud, cloudy, cloudy, beyond the clouds, cloudless, under the clouds.
Words that help you remember .

– How do you understand the expression head in the clouds?
Having your head in the clouds is to indulge in dreams, fantasies, without noticing your surroundings.
4. Repetition of the studied material in lessons of the surrounding world.
– What types of clouds are there? (Clouds are different.)
– What color are the clouds at sunrise and sunset? (Clouds are black and white, gray and blue, pink and scarlet, yellow or gold, violet or lilac, and sometimes pale green). Showing photos.
– What determines the color of clouds? (The color of the clouds depends on the density of the clouds and their illumination by the Sun.)
– Why are they called heavenly wanderers? (Clouds, at the will of the winds, can float across the sky in one direction or the other until they fall to the ground as rain or snow).
Clouds are not alike and have different names. Remember how? (Cirrus, stratus, cumulus). (Drawings of clouds)
Student 1. Cirrus clouds are the highest and thinnest. They swim very high above the ground, where it is always cold. The steam droplets in them turned into ice crystals. These are beautiful cold clouds. The blue sky shines through them. They have a variety of forms: in the form of thin translucent stripes, curls, knotty dots, tongues of flame, and similar to the long feathers of fairy-tale birds. That's why they are called feathery. They are located at an altitude of 6-10 kilometers.
Sometimes the tops of the clouds reach a height of 20-125 kilometers above the Earth. At high altitudes they form pearlescent and noctilucent clouds, consisting only of ice crystals.
Student 2. Stratus clouds are solid, pale gray. They cover the sky with a monotonous gray blanket. Such clouds bring bad weather: snow, drizzling rain for several days. They are located at altitudes from 50 to 2000m.
Student 3. Cumulus clouds are large and dark. They rush after each other, as if in a race. Sometimes the wind carries them so low that it seems like the clouds are touching the roofs.
Student 4. Rare cumulus clouds are the most beautiful. These clouds are located at an altitude of 3-5 km. They resemble steep mountains with dazzling white peaks illuminated by the sun. It’s interesting to watch them: cheerful cumulus clouds run across the sky, constantly changing. They look like animals, like people, like some kind of fairy-tale creatures - like whatever your imagination suggests.
If you carefully observe the clouds, you can learn to predict the weather. What signs do you know about clouds?
Signs.
- White clouds do not wet the ground.
- Clouds are floating high - good weather.
- Blue evening clouds mean a change in weather.
- Cirrus clouds - to the bucket.
- Cumulus clouds are a harbinger of good weather.
- Cumulus clouds torn into rags - to bad weather and wind.
- If cumulus clouds come from the west, it means bad weather.
- Stratus clouds usually mean bad weather.
- Red clouds before sunrise - towards the wind.
- At sunset the clouds form rings - signifying rain.
- Wavy clouds mean bad weather.
- The clouds are low - it will be cold.
- The clouds move against the wind towards the snow.
- Answer the question.
– The cloud can’t be what? Answer options are provided. a) cumulus; b) layered; c) bushy; d) feathery.
5. Formation of new knowledge.
– Pay attention to the sky, remember what it looks like at different times of the day, at different times of the year. Let your imagination run wild!
– Have you ever watched the clouds? What can clouds or clouds floating across the sky be compared to?
– Look at how artists represent clouds.
– What clouds did the artists depict? (Cumulus)
– Do cloud shapes change quickly? (The stronger the wind blows, the faster the clouds change their shape.)
What are clouds like...
What type of clouds do you think the riddle is talking about:
An invisible shepherd chases white lambs.
What else can clouds be compared to?
Listen to how poets depict clouds. What is it compared to?
***
The clouds have set their sails,
The white rooks sent their run into the swell of heaven.
Quiet, smooth, effortless
Into the distance, without shores
A friendly flotilla came out
Fairytale swimmers. (V. Bryusov)
***
They're floating above me
Clouds one after another.
Well well! There are so many of them here!
Floating like a wave.
It's like a rhinoceros
It's like a boar
I count five sheep
Which illustration does this poem fit into?
Read the poem by Yakov Akim. Think about what image the poet chose for the heavenly miracle. Try to find words that rhyme with the last words. Feel like poets, creators of beauty.
Clouds
Cloud after cloud was chasing across the sky -
Behind the cloud-boat the cloud is __________ (elk).The elk walks briskly, does not want to fall behind,
But he cannot __________ (reach) the boat with his horns.And the wind drives, drives, hurries the clouds,
Either he touches or moves __________ (slightly).The boat became smaller, the elk became longer...
And a cloud suddenly __________ (teared off) from the elk.Where is the jumping elk? Forget about him!
The cloud turned into a galloping __________ (horse).And the wind rose more and more,
And the boat grew __________ (sails).I'm lying by the river, I'm looking from under my hand,
And __________ (clouds) are running above me in the sky (Ya. Akim)
– Read the poem by I. Konevsky, underline the words that the poet uses to depict clouds.
Here, along the coasts, seas, islands
The sky, like the whole world, is above me
Along its expanses, above the trees
A crazy herd is running around.
Snow-white manes scattered,
Swimming across blue lakes.
The wind drives them, their driver is zealous,
To the distant cloudy mountains.
And from the ground the feather grass carries a wide noise,
The trunks of the pine trees are rushing -
And still the dashing herd carries away to the same region,
To the land where the white shafts soar. (I. Konevsky)***
Various little animals run across the sky:
Bears, wolves, hares, foxes, pigs.
Snowy cliffs float across the sky
And even ships with sailors on them.
And if you are rich in imagination,
Find your portrait there, guys. (N. Gugnyar)
– What illustration does this poem fit into?
Reading passages from exercise 535. Imagine some pictures drawn by the writers.
They slowly float across the spring sky, like a flock of snow-white birds.
Spring clouds are like ships with white sails. The wind will blow them, and they will float... (According to G. Skrebitsky)
Clouds, clouds -
curly sides,
curly clouds,
whole, holey,
light, airy,
obedient to the breeze.
According to S. Mikhalkov
Clouds floated across the sky.
There are four little clouds:
From first to third -
People,
The fourth is a camel.
According to V. Mayakovsky
– Write down the passage that you liked the most.
6. Physical education minute.
The song “Clouds” plays (dance movements are performed to the music)
Past the white apple of the moon
Past the red apple of the sunset
Clouds from an unknown country
They hurry towards us and run somewhere again.
Chorus:
Clouds, white-maned horses,
Clouds, why are you rushing without looking back?
Please don't look down on me,
And take us for a ride across the sky, clouds!
We will rush into the sky-high distance
Past the dying stars in the sky.
A star will silently descend towards us
And the chamomile will remain in the palm of your hand.
7. Independent work. Writing a sketch.
Etude– a short essay about nature, his feelings; a sketch that is based on highlighting some interesting, unusual feature of the described object or phenomenon. An important feature of the sketch: incompleteness; it may be part of another work.
– Now sit back, turn on your imagination, imagine that on a warm spring day you come to the bank of a river or lake. A light breeze is blowing, light, playful fantastic clouds are floating above you.
Try to describe all the pictures that arise. For those who find it difficult, use the tips given in exercise 536.
Here it floats across the sky... And here … . A bit further … . But soon... no longer. The cloud looked like... It seems as if... ... as if ... .
The next stage may be the stage of reading students' sketches in class (at the request of the children acting as authors of essays). Each work is evaluated by students in accordance with the specified features of the genre. In addition, criteria for evaluating creative work must be set:
- originality in the disclosure of the topic;
- the ability to create an interesting image;
- unusualness of the author's language.
Examples of children's work.
White, fluffy clouds are floating across the sky. Among them there is a fiery red Firebird, a white rabbit, a goldfish and a white-maned horse and many more different fairy-tale animals. Wow!
Ksenia K.
These clouds look like huge white ships. They are sailing across the blue sky to no one knows where. Where are they going? And these white clouds-ships are sailing to a fairyland.
Here they can turn into anyone. Either they look like fluffy pillows, then suddenly they turn into a polar bear. But suddenly a strong wind blew, and they turned into a white horse.
And these cloud-ships float and float into the endless distance.
Misha D.
These clouds look like unknown creatures flying somewhere. But then they disappeared, but a little, a minute later they appeared again. What kind of miracle? Clouds are not just descending water vapor! These are wonderful inhabitants of the air. We look at them, and our heart rejoices and our soul longs to follow...
Alina N.
I love looking at clouds. They look like lions, elephants and other animals, and sometimes they resemble flocks of birds.
Alexey D.
These clouds look like fluffy little white kitten enthusiastically playing ball. But then a breeze blew, and now the kitten turned into a poodle puppy, and the ball into a bone. Another cloud looks like a fabulously beautiful horse, and the third resembles a bouquet of cheerful fragrant daisies.
Ilya D.

Essay-sketch "These clouds look like..."
These clouds look like clouds of white birds. There are millions of them and they scatter in different directions. They flap their snow-white wings, and you know that they are about to fly away. You will never see them again. These clouds seemed like the most beautiful thing you ever had. (Polina Filippova)
These clouds look like bright, fluffy marshmallows. They also look like a rabbit or a dog. The clouds are gentle and beautiful. Everyone sees what they want. The clouds float and float, not knowing where. Nobody knows where the clouds are going? (Ulyanova Snezhana)
I was lying in a clearing and suddenly... A cloud like a boot appeared in front of me. Then a fish-shaped cloud appeared. I saw a cloud that looked like a dove. I thought: what if I draw them... I ran for paper. When I arrived, suddenly a strong wind blew and the clouds scattered. (Mikheykin Daniil)
These clouds look like flying fluff. That's very beautiful. But suddenly one cloud came to life. And another cloud came to life. Suddenly they collided with their white barrels and scattered in different directions. (Mikheykin Daniil)
PClouds floated across the sky. These clouds look like light balls of air. It's because they were playing and having fun. Soon they began to look like cheerful animals. The animals began to play hide and seek, and they hid behind huge gray clouds. (Shulgina Alisa)
I woke up in the morning and went down to the 1st floor of my house. I had breakfast and went to the clearing. She lay down on the grass and looked at the sky. I saw the clouds and felt funny. They seemed to me like soft, airy lumps of snow, bluish-pink in color. (Koshkina Lisa)
As a child, when I was little, I was driving home with my mother at sunset. I looked at the clouds. These clouds at sunset looked like pink elephants and pink bears. then, when I went to bed and so did my mother, I got up and went to look out the window. The last clouds with stars looked like fish with shiny scales. But the largest cloud looked like a huge whale with diamond eyes. I looked at this extraordinary ocean for a long time. (Chepurko Neil)
The sun rose early outside. These clouds look like morning fluffs of cotton wool. One cloud looks like a deer and the other like a bee. But the most beautiful ones are those that look like various fish. These are the most beautiful clouds I have ever seen. (Skopintseva Sasha)
It was summer. I woke up early in the morning and saw clouds. They looked like many fluffy pinkish rabbits. They floated across the sky. Like birds in flight. It was the most wonderful feeling. (Knyazeva Nastya)
These clouds look like fluffy birds with white azure wings. And there are a million such fluffy birds. Then came the pink, blue, and red birds. Night fell and the fluffy birds never appeared again. (Morozova Nastya)
Clouds are like everything that surrounds us. They can look like animals, houses, flowers, people and much more. It all depends on your imagination. I like to look at the clouds. It is so beautiful! I can always see my favorite animal. I really want it to be next to me! (Tyrnova Liza)
I woke up early in the morning, and when I saw the clouds, I thought: these clouds look like little animals. I got dressed and ran outside. I looked at the sky and saw: the clouds first played catch-up, then danced around the sun, and then decided to rest. While the clouds were running, they turned red, but after resting they turned white again. And when the breeze blew, they flew far, far away. (Timofeev Dima)
I woke up early in the morning and saw the sunrise. The sunrise was beautiful, but it wouldn't have been as beautiful if it weren't for the clouds. They reflected the rays of the sun and were so red and interesting. These clouds look like an airplane or a fish, a ship, a dolphin or a bird. At first they are small and do not look like anything. Then you can see anything in them. Then they become so big that they look like palaces, like castles. (Danil Nikonov)
What do clouds look like?Clouds "Mammatus clouds".
A rare type of cloud was captured in 2004 over Nebraska (photo by Jorn C. Olsen).
The clouds were so named because of their shape, which resembles pendulous mammary sacs (like the udder of a cow).
Mammatus are always associated with thunderstorms and therefore cumulonimbus clouds.
Clouds remain in the sky from several minutes to several hours depending on the size of the droplets.
For the formation of mammatus, the proximity of a moist and unstable stratified air mass in the middle and upper parts of the troposphere above the dry air mass is necessary.
In such conditions, under the descending ice crystals of the “anvils” of cumulonimbus clouds, a system of small ascending and descending air currents appears against the background of a general downward air flow. These flows lead to the formation of the characteristic shape of clouds.
Lenticular (lenticular) clouds.
People who like to connect previously unseen and incomprehensible natural phenomena with evidence of the presence of aliens on our planet often call them UFOs.
There are also “Lenticularis” - lenticular cumulus clouds.
This type of cloud can also be mistaken for some unidentified flying object. But this “object” does not fly, and does not move at all. These clouds remain motionless, no matter how strong the wind is.
Lenticular clouds very often serve as definite signs of deteriorating weather.
Their appearance indicates that there are strong horizontal air currents in the atmosphere, forming waves over mountain obstacles, and that the air has a fairly high moisture content. This is usually associated with the approach of an atmospheric front or with the energetic transport of air from distant areas, from the south or from the north. Residents of the mountains and arctic regions are very familiar with these “weather predictors”.
Antique clouds. Look like antique paintings.
This unusual phenomenon was photographed on December 11, 2003 by Alabama resident Joel Knane. Scientists believe that the whole point is in ice crystals formed as a result of emissions from a passing aircraft (photo by Joel Knain from the NASA website).
These unusual clouds are like the “gateway to heaven”, an amazing and strange hole in the sky.
Cigar-shaped cloud.
British fishermen fishing in the English Channel felt like characters in the horror film “The Fog” when they were suddenly hit by a huge cigar-shaped cloud that came from nowhere.
For almost 30 minutes their ship "Jiminy" was shrouded in fog thick as jelly in eerie silence. It happened 30 miles from Dartmouth (Devon).
Asperatus - vortex cumulus clouds.
A slightly different type of thunderclouds are complex turbulences of air currents, and also portend the possible occurrence of a tornado.
Meteorologists claim that they have never seen anything like this before. These clouds look like either a stormy sea or the surface of the earth. They are dark with intricate swirls. Pictures of such clouds come from all over the world.
Polar stratospheric (“pearl”) clouds Nacreous.
These clouds, unlike their tropospheric counterparts that we can see in the sky every day, form at altitudes of 15 to 25 km in the cold regions of the stratosphere (temperatures below –78°). And they appear rarely.
If we are lucky, we can observe mother-of-pearl clouds either in the evening immediately after sunset, or shortly before the appearance of the daylight. They are usually fully illuminated by the Sun for 20 minutes after sunset or before sunrise. These light and transparent clouds cannot be confused with anything
The air in the stratosphere is very dry, so clouds usually do not form there. But in winter, the temperature of the stratosphere sometimes drops to such values that clouds still begin to form in it.
"Pileus" - "Cap" on top of a cumulus cloud.
This “cap” is a cloud of vertical development called pileus, which can be translated from Latin as a small light cap. "Pileus" typically form above cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds and are formed by the rise of dry air at altitudes that has a higher level of condensation than the underlying moist air in the cumulonimbus or cumulonimbus zone. This is why the pileus looks like a “hood” or “cap” over a cumulus cloud, rapidly changing its shape.
By the presence of a pileus, one can judge that strong upward air currents have formed in the convection clouds, which are capable of forming cumulonimbus clouds. Thus, “pileus” can be considered indicators of an imminent thunderstorm. Although everything may end in the formation of separate clusters of cumulonimbus clouds, which will shed only local thunderstorms
Noctilucent clouds.
Noctilucent clouds were first reported in 1885 after the Krakatoa eruption. This is also a very rare atmospheric phenomenon, and has only been observed in deep twilight, only in summer, and at latitudes between 50 and 60 degrees north and south.
They can be seen when they are illuminated by the sun from above the horizon, and the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the earth's shadow; they cannot be seen during the day. The clouds are so thin that stars can often be seen through them. There is an assumption that these clouds are just an optical effect, something like a mirage.
Funnel cloud
Tube clouds are cone-shaped and are most often found during thunderstorms. Outwardly, they look like tornadoes, but until they touch the surface of water or land, they do not turn into tornadoes.
Everything changes when, during a thunderstorm, the base of this cumulonimbus cloud touches the surface of the water or land - from a beautiful atmospheric phenomenon it turns into a dangerous one: a rapid funnel-shaped vortex stretches to a height of 1.5 kilometers.
Inside the funnel, the air rises, creating a vacuum. A tornado sweeps over the surface at a speed of 30-60 km/h and after about 30 km loses its destructive power. There are cases when tornadoes remained viable for 500 km.
Clouds "Morning Glory"
These are the only clouds that have a proper name. “Morning Glory” is like a rolling cloud up to 1000 km long, 1-2 km high, moving at speeds up to 40 km/h.
These clouds appear mainly off the coast of Australia, in places with high humidity and high atmospheric pressure. The sun heats the front of the cloud and an upward movement of air occurs in it, which spins the cloud. Imagine a powerful wave that has a single crest and moves without changing speed or shape - this is what this cloud looks like.
Clouds "Ac virga"
"Ac virga" are altocumulus clouds with falling streaks. Such a cloud is located at an altitude of about 4 km, its thickness is about half a kilometer, and the column of precipitation (fall strip) hangs down about one and a half to two kilometers.
Fall streaks are not ordinary rain, but rain that falls in separate zones of clouds; these fibrous streaks do not exist on their own, but are directed downward from the dense mother cloud. Although the "Ac virga" clouds rise quite high, they are quite transparent and a little romantic.
Shelf clouds
Concave clouds are usually seen before a thunderstorm, although they can precede any well-defined front of relatively cold air. Concave clouds are always associated with a larger cloud system hidden above.
A concave cloud descends toward one side of a thunderstorm. This reduces the decline away from the rain region rather than back into the rain region. It is this decline that characterizes the shelf cloud. As cold air is "pushed" out of the precipitation area by downdrafts, warm air glides over the gusty front to form concave shelf clouds.
Circumhorizontal Arc.
This phenomenon is also known as a "fire rainbow". Created in the sky when light is refracted through ice crystals in cirrus clouds. This phenomenon is very rare, since both the ice crystals and the sun must be exactly in a horizontal line for such a spectacular refraction to occur. This particularly successful example was captured in the skies over Spokane in Washington in 2006.
Alexander Semenovich Kushner wrote a wonderful poem "Clouds". And under the impression of his poem, and also due to the need to write a sketch for my daughter for a literature lesson on the topic “These clouds are like...”, I wrote a poem that partially echoes the above-mentioned work by A. Kushner. You can call it a remake or an interpretation, whatever you want. I don’t claim the laurels of the original author. I write for pleasure, yours and mine.
Clouds float silently across the sky.
One looks like a big bull.
Another - on a horse in a whitish coat.
And the third one looks like I don’t know what.
Waving its huge, lush edges,
It's as if it's dancing in front of us.
It’s as if it’s not the wind that’s pushing him,
And it plays catch-up with the wind.
Ships are sailing straight towards us.
On each of them the helmsman is the captain,
Sailing from wondrous, unknown countries.
I wish I could stand at the helm with him,
But... mom called home from the window.
