Teacher
T greets the class: "Good morning, class! Are you ready? Let's listen to some animal sounds." T plays the sound "woof, woof" and asks: "What animal is it?"
Pupils
Ss listen carefully and answer in Vietnamese or in English: "Con chó!" / "It's a dog."
Teacher
T models: "Woof, woof. This is a dog. Dog!" T plays "quack, quack" and asks: "What animal is it now?"
Pupils
Ss repeat with T: "Woof, woof. Dog." Then they answer "Quack, quack. Duck." (Expected answer: It's a duck.)
Teacher
T calls on 2–3 Ss to make a sound and the others guess the animal, e.g. "Quack, quack!" → "It's a duck!"
Pupils
Ss take turns to make a sound and say the name of the animal in English. The class repeats the answer.
Teacher
T says: "Today we will learn the letter Dd and four new words: desk, dog, door, duck. Open your books at Unit 4, Lesson 1."
Pupils
Ss open their books at Unit 4, Lesson 1 and look at the pictures of the bedroom.
