Ss activate prior knowledge about environmental protection and preview the topic vocabulary of the unit.

Ss look at the teacher's question on the slide: 'What can we do to protect the environment at home and at school?' Ss discuss in pairs and use at least two of the words: reduce, recycle, litter, reusable, household appliance, carbon footprint.

Each pair gives at least two actions, for example: 'We can reduce litter by using reusable bottles.' 'We can recycle paper and plastic.' 'We can switch off household appliances when we leave the room.'

Ss recognise and pronounce the consonant blends /kl/, /pl/, /gr/ and /pr/ in words and in a sentence.

T presents the blends with the words: clean plates, green grass, a practical plan. T explains that /k/ is released into /l/ without an extra vowel and that /p/ is kept before /l/ and /r/. Ss then read the sentence: 'Our group plans to protect the green playground.'

Ss can name the four blends (/kl/, /pl/, /gr/, /pr/) and identify them in the words clean, plates, green, grass, practical, plan, protect, playground. Ss pronounce the blends without inserting an extra vowel, for example clean (not 'kuh-lean').

Ss distinguish the use of will + base verb and be going to + base verb in context.

T presents the two structures with the rules: will + base verb expresses a decision made now or a prediction; be going to + base verb expresses a prior intention or a prediction based on present evidence. Ss complete the guided questions in Worksheet 1 in groups of four.

Ss complete Worksheet 1 correctly and state the rule in their own words: 'Will is for a decision at the moment of speaking, and be going to is for a plan made before or evidence now.'

Ss form and use the passive voice in the present simple, past simple and future simple by changing the object into the subject.

T presents the transformation: People collect paper → Paper is collected. T explains that the receiver becomes the subject, be keeps the original tense, and the agent with by is optional when it is unimportant. T then gives the examples: will collect → will be collected. Ss complete Worksheet 2 in pairs.

Ss complete Worksheet 2 and explain the rule: 'The object becomes the subject, be takes the tense of the active verb, and the past participle follows be.' Expected transformations: People collect paper every week → Paper is collected every week. People will collect paper → Paper will be collected.

Ss match the six topic expressions of the unit with their Vietnamese meanings.

Ss match each expression with its meaning: carbon footprint, reusable, household appliance, reduce, recycle, litter. T asks Ss to read each word aloud before matching it. The matching task is Exercise 9 in the textbook.

Correct matching: carbon footprint – lượng phát thải khí nhà kính quy đổi; reusable – có thể tái sử dụng; household appliance – thiết bị gia dụng; reduce – giảm; recycle – tái chế; litter – rác vứt bừa bãi.

Ss apply will, be going to and the passive voice correctly in sentence-level exercises.

Ss complete Exercises 1 to 8 from the textbook. Each item has four options. Ss work individually for five minutes, then compare answers in pairs and justify each choice. Exercises 1–3 focus on will and be going to; Exercises 4–8 focus on the passive voice.

Answer key: 1 A (are going to plant); 2 D (will carry); 3 C (is going to rain); 4 B (is collected); 5 A (was repaired); 6 D (will be announced); 7 C (use); 8 B (be switched off).

Ss read the practice sentences aloud with accurate blends, natural rhythm and intonation.

Ss read the practice sentences aloud twice: first slowly, then at a natural pace. Sentences: Clean plates, green grass, a practical plan. Our group plans to protect the green playground. In pairs, Ss listen to each other and give one point of feedback.

Self-assessment and peer feedback sheet. Teacher assessment scale (10 points): focus on the blends (4 points; 2 if inconsistent); sounds and clarity so that the meaning is clear (3 points; 1–2 if some parts are hard to understand); rhythm and intonation suitable for the sentence (2 points; 1 if mechanical); self-correction after the first reading (1 point). Accept standard British or American accents. Accept equivalent wording in peer feedback.

Ss use will, be going to and the passive voice to write and present a short plan for protecting the environment at school.

Groups of four write a short plan of at least four sentences about protecting the environment at school. The plan must include: one decision made now (will), one prior plan (be going to), and two passive sentences using the topic words (for example: Plastic bottles will be recycled. Litter is collected every Friday.). Each group presents its plan in one minute.

A written plan with at least four sentences, including one will sentence, one be going to sentence and two correct passive sentences. Example product: 'We are going to reduce litter by using reusable bottles. Plastic bottles will be recycled in the blue container. The lights will be switched off when the room is empty.'
