Giáo án Lesson 2

Ss get ready for the lesson, review the vocabulary of the unit and recall the sound /ɡ/ in familiar words.

T shows picture cards of a goat, a girl, a gate, a garden, a cat and a cake one by one. Ss shout the name of each picture and then say the first sound of the word.

Ss name at least four pictures correctly and say the word with a clear first sound.

Ss read and chant the rhyme 'Go, goat, go!' with correct rhythm and the /ɡ/ sound, and understand its meaning.

T plays the chant on the NeoEdu page, then models each line. Ss repeat line by line, then chant in chorus while stamping their feet on each /ɡ/. The chant is: 'G, g – a girl in the garden. G, g – a goat at the gate. Go, goat, go! /ɡ/, /ɡ/, /ɡ/ – G, g, g!' Meaning: a girl is in the garden; a goat is at the gate; go, goat, go!

Ss chant the rhyme in chorus and in groups, stamping on every /ɡ/, and say the meaning of 'a girl in the garden' and 'a goat at the gate'.

Ss understand the structure 'There's a …' and choose the correct picture by listening to the last word of the sentence.

T introduces the structure 'There's a …' (có một …) with the sentence 'There's a gate.' T plays the listening track for 'There's a gate', 'There's a girl' and 'There's a goat'. Ss point to the matching picture and then say the sentence in pairs. Key note: listen carefully to the last word of the sentence. Example: 'There's a girl' – picture of a girl; 'There's a goat' – picture of a goat.

Ss point to the correct picture for each sentence and say 'There's a …' with the correct word in pairs.

Ss recognise the shapes of capital G and small g and write them correctly on lines.

T shows the model letters G and g on the screen and explains: capital G is written like capital C, then a short horizontal line and a small vertical line at the bottom right. Small g is written like a small circle as in a, then a straight line down below the line and curved to the left like a hook. Ss trace the letters in the air, then trace the dotted letters in the exercise book.

Ss write capital G and small g neatly on the lines with the correct shape, the small g having a hook under the line.

Ss practise listening, reading and writing with the words gate, goat, girl and garden, and check their understanding of the structure 'There's a …'.

Class is divided into 3 groups of 4 (groups of 4 rotate after 5 minutes). Station 1 (Listen and choose): Ss listen to 'There's a gate', 'There's a girl', 'There's a goat' and choose the correct picture. Station 2 (Read and write): Ss complete the chant 'a goat at the {{gate}}', choose the small g from the letters, unscramble the letters g-a-t-e to make 'gate', and choose g or c for girl and cake. Station 3 (True or false and match): Ss listen to 'A girl in the garden.' and mark True/False, then match 'There's a gate.' with 'Có một cái cổng.' Ss use Worksheet No. 1 at each station.
Worksheet No. 1 includes the questions below and an answer key for the teacher only.

Answer key: Station 1: 'There's a gate' – picture B (gate); 'There's a girl' – picture A (girl); 'There's a goat' – picture C (goat). Station 2: a goat at the gate; the letter is g (small g in 'girl' and g in the listening word); unscrambled word: gate; g-girl and c-cake. Station 3: a) girl – True; b) garden – True; c) goat – False; match: There's a gate. = Có một cái cổng.; There's a goat. = Có một con dê.; There's a girl. = Có một bạn gái.

Ss use the structure 'There's a …' and the words girl, goat, gate and garden to describe a picture of their own garden, and share it with the class.

Ss draw a garden picture on an A4 sheet, with a girl, a goat, a gate and a garden. Ss label each object and write or say 'There's a …' next to it. Then pairs share their picture and say the sentences. Ss can take the picture home and chant 'Go, goat, go!' with their family.

Each pair has a garden picture with at least two labels, and says at least two sentences with 'There's a …' correctly.
