I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Say and understand the sentence pattern 'That's a + animal/object' to point at a thing or animal far away (That's a monkey.).
    • Distinguish 'This is' (near) from 'That's' (far).
    • Use the new words: monkey, mouse, mother, and 'That's' (That is).
    • Sing the song 'At the zoo' with the pattern 'That's a …'.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen and choose the correct picture, say 'That's a …' while pointing to faraway objects, act out the zoo dialogue, sing the song and write the sentence 'That's a mouse.'
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce 'monkey', 'mouse', 'mother' correctly; use 'a' before a singular noun (That's a monkey) and no 'a' before 'my' (That's my mother); distinguish 'This is' and 'That's'.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss keep track of their own answers in the exercises, check them with the picture clues and correct their own mistakes after the teacher's feedback.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to practise the zoo dialogue, sing together and give feedback to classmates politely.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide whether to use 'This is' or 'That's' from the distance of the object, and create their own zoo sentences in the project.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss actively take part in every activity, finish the exercises on time and practise the words at home.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair and group work, keep the materials tidy and complete their homework.
  • Kindness: Ss listen to their friends with respect, praise each other's performance and help classmates who are slow to answer.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Magic box: Guess the picture

Aims

Ss recall the vocabulary from previous units (horse, mango, car, dog) and get ready for the new pattern 'That's a …'.

Content

T puts 3 flashcards into a magic box. Ss guess what is inside by asking 'What's in the box?' and answering 'It's a …'. Then T shows the zoo scene and asks Ss to point at the animals they know.

Expected outcomes

Ss name 3 to 4 words from previous lessons correctly and show readiness for the lesson (Period 1).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Hello, class! Today we go to the zoo. Let's play the magic box game. Who wants to guess?' T shows the box and asks: 'What's in the box?'

    Pupils

    Ss listen and answer in chorus: 'What's in the box?'

  2. Teacher

    T takes a flashcard out of the box, shows it to the class and asks: 'What is it?' T gives help: 'It's a … (horse, car, mango)'.

    Pupils

    Ss guess and answer: 'It's a horse.' / 'It's a mango.' Pupils who answer correctly get a star.

  3. Teacher

    T shows the zoo scene and asks: 'Where is the monkey? Near or far?' T points to the monkey far away on the tree.

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'It's far away.' Some Ss point to the monkey and say: 'That's a monkey!'

  4. Teacher

    T praises Ss: 'Well done! Today we learn to say That's a … when the animal is far away.' T writes the title on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the title: 'That's a … – far away!'

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 15 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: That's a … or This is a …?

Aims

Ss understand the meaning and pronunciation of 'That's a …' and distinguish it from 'This is a …' (near objects).

Content

T presents the words monkey (/ˈmʌŋki/), mouse, mother (/ˈmʌðə/) and the pattern 'That's a + animal/object' (That's = That is). T models 'This is a mango' with an object held in hand and 'That's a mango' with the object far away. Ss then do the 'Listen, point and say' activity from the zoo picture, using the table in the lesson. Ss complete a small contrast table on Worksheet No. 1.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the new words and the pattern correctly, and complete Worksheet No. 1 Part A with 'This is' or 'That's' for each picture (Period 1).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T holds an apple near to the class and says: 'This is an apple.' Then T points to the monkey on the far tree and says: 'That's a monkey.' T asks: 'Is the apple near or far?'

    Pupils

    Ss listen and answer: 'Near!' / 'The apple is near.' Ss look at the difference between 'This is' and 'That's'.

  2. Teacher

    T models the words and the pattern: 'monkey – monkey', 'mouse – mouse', 'mother – mother', 'That's a monkey', 'That's a mouse', 'That's my mother'. T models the stress and the weak 'a' in 'That's a'. T asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then in groups and individually.
    T asks: 'Which one is near? Which one is far?' Possible answers: 'This is a mango (near).' 'That's a mango (far).'

    Pupils

    Ss listen, repeat chorally and individually. Ss answer: 'This is a mango – near!' / 'That's a mango – far!' Ss point to the teacher's hand and the far picture while speaking.

  3. Teacher

    T plays the audio. Ss listen and point to the picture. T asks: 'Listen and point. Which animal is it?' Predicted answer from pupils: 'That's a monkey.' 'That's a mouse.'

    Pupils

    Ss listen, point to the picture on the board and say the sentence aloud. Pairs check each other's pointing.

  4. Teacher

    T summarises on the board: 'That's a + animal (far away). This is a + object (near, in hand).' T gives Worksheet No. 1 to pairs to do Part A and checks answers with the class.

    Pupils

    Ss copy the summary into their notebooks and complete Worksheet No. 1 Part A: 1 – That's, 2 – This is, 3 – That's, 4 – This is.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Let's talk: A visit to the zoo

Aims

Ss listen to and understand the zoo dialogue between Nam and his mother, then practise it in pairs with correct pronunciation and intonation.

Content

Ss listen to the dialogue (Nam and Mom) at the zoo twice, then read it in role-play. Dialogue:
Nam: Look! That's a monkey.
Mom: Yes! And that's a mango.
Nam: Mmm, yum!
After that, Ss stand at the door, point far away and say: 'That's a car. That's a dog.' Then pairs take turns to ask and answer about the picture cards.

Expected outcomes

Each pair performs the dialogue and at least two sentences 'That's a …' with correct pointing (Period 1). Ss answer the question 'Where is Nam?' with 'Nam is at the zoo.'

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T asks: 'Where is Nam? What does he see?' T plays the audio of the dialogue once with the zoo picture on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss listen and answer: 'Nam is at the zoo.' 'He sees a monkey.'

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio again and asks Ss to repeat each line. T models Nam's and Mom's lines with different voices. T then organises pairs: Student A is Nam, Student B is Mom. Pairs practise 3 times and swap roles.
    T asks: 'What's the mango? Is it near or far?' Predicted answer: 'It's far away. It's in Mom's hand? No – it's far!'

    Pupils

    Ss listen, repeat chorally and practise in pairs. Pupils who finish first practise the second part: 'That's a car. That's a dog.' while pointing to the far picture cards.

  3. Teacher

    T calls 3 pairs to perform the dialogue in front of the class. T gives feedback on pronunciation of 'monkey' and 'mango', and on the pointing gesture.

    Pupils

    Pairs perform the dialogue. Other Ss listen and give a star or a thumbs-up for each correct line.

  4. Teacher

    T says: 'Great job! Now let's remember: when you point far away, say That's a …' T ends the period by asking: 'What do you say for a car far away?' Pupils: 'That's a car.'

    Pupils

    Ss answer and say the sentence with the pointing gesture. Ss tidy their desks and keep Worksheet No. 1 for the next period.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 12 minutes

Sing and point: At the zoo song

Aims

Ss sing the song 'At the zoo' with the pattern 'That's a …' and point to the animals in the right position.

T teaches the song 'At the zoo' using the tune of 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm':
At the zoo, at the zoo,
That's a monkey – ooh, ooh, ooh!
That's a mouse – squeak, squeak, squeak!
At the zoo, at the zoo!
Each time Ss sing 'That's a …', they point to the far picture. Then Ss make a chant with the animal names in groups.

Expected outcomes

Ss sing the full song with the correct words and actions (Period 2). Each group chants 'That's a monkey / That's a mouse / That's a horse' and points to the far animal correctly.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T sings the song once with actions. T asks: 'Which animals do you hear?' Predicted answers: 'monkey', 'mouse'.

    Pupils

    Ss listen and answer: 'monkey and mouse'. Some Ss mime the monkey and the mouse.

  2. Teacher

    T sings line by line and Ss repeat. T models the sounds 'ooh, ooh, ooh!' and 'squeak, squeak, squeak!'. Then the whole class sings together, pointing to the far pictures at each 'That's a …'. Then T divides the class into 3 groups: Group 1 sings the verse 'That's a monkey', Group 2 'That's a mouse', Group 3 sings 'At the zoo'.

    Pupils

    Ss sing in chorus, make sounds and point to the far pictures. Groups sing their parts and then combine into a whole song.

  3. Teacher

    T asks each group to show their part and checks the pronunciation of 'monkey' and 'mouse'.

    Pupils

    Groups sing their verses with the actions. Other Ss clap and give feedback: 'Good job, your squeak is loud!'

  4. Teacher

    T sings the song once more and says: 'You sing very well. Remember: That's a … for far things, and you point to them!'

    Pupils

    Ss write True/False and say their answers. Ss write the sentence in exercise 10 on their notebooks.

  4. Teacher

    T shows the answer key on the board and asks Ss to check their work. T gives stars to Ss with 8 or more correct answers and reminds Ss about the mistakes: 'Do not use This is for far things. Do not write a my mother.'

    Pupils
