I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • Recognize the letter Z z and the sound /z/ in the words zoo, zebu and zebra.
  • Listen to, recognize and correctly say the words zoo (vườn thú), zebu (con bò u) and zebra (con ngựa vằn).
  • Point to the correct picture when they hear each word.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to the sound /z/ and the three words, say them, and read and choose the correct picture or word in the exercises.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce /z/ with a vibrating throat (not /s/ or /d/), know the letter Z z written in three strokes, and understand the meanings of zoo, zebu and zebra.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss follow the teacher's model, repeat the sounds and words on their own, and check their own answers in the practice exercises.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to point, say and check the answers, and take turns as 'listener' and 'speaker'.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss identify the difference between zebu and zebra by listening carefully to the ending of each word and by looking at the picture details (hump or stripes).

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss take part actively in every drill and try to repeat the /z/ sound correctly, even when it is difficult.
  • Responsibility: Ss finish the worksheet on time and complete the homework picture of a zoo and say the words to their family.
  • Kindness: Ss help a partner who is still confused about zebu and zebra by giving clear and friendly hints.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 8 minutes

Letter Zz and the sound /z/

Aims

Ss recognize the letter Z z, write it in three strokes, and pronounce the sound /z/ with a vibrating throat.

Content

Look, listen and repeat. T shows the letter Z z and the three-stroke writing guide (horizontal – slanted – horizontal). T models the sound /z/ like a buzzing bee (zzz) and uses the 'neck test': say sss (no vibration), then zzz (vibration). Ss put a hand on their throat and feel the difference. T warns Ss not to read /z/ as 'd' (doo) or 'gi'.

Expected outcomes

Ss write the letter Z in the air and on the whiteboard in three strokes, and pronounce /z/ correctly, feeling the throat vibrate.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the big letter Z and the small letter z. T says: 'This is the letter Z z. What sound does it make?' T asks Ss to guess.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the letter and guess the sound. Some may say /s/ or /d/.

  2. Teacher

    T models the sound /z/ like a bee (zzz). T guides the neck test: 'Put your hand on your neck. Say sss – no buzz. Say zzz – buzz!' T models the three-stroke writing: horizontal, slanted, horizontal, and Ss trace the letter in the air. Ss repeat /z/ several times in chorus, then in small groups.

    Pupils

    Ss put a hand on their neck, say sss and zzz, and feel the difference. Ss trace the letter in the air and repeat zzz in chorus and in groups.

  3. Teacher

    T calls on two or three Ss to say /z/ alone and to write the letter Z on the board. T corrects gently if Ss say /s/ or /d/.

    Pupils

    Ss say zzz alone, feel the throat vibrate, and write Z z on the board. Possible answer: 'zzz – my neck buzzes!'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'The letter z makes the sound /z/. Your neck buzzes like a bee. Don't say /s/ or /d/!'

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the rule: 'Z makes the sound /z/, and my neck buzzes.'

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Then Ss play the Bee game (Con ong zzz): Ss fly around the room like bees, buzz 'zzz', and land on the picture the teacher points to, then say its name.

    Ss repeat zoo, zebu, zebra. Ss fly like bees, buzz zzz, land on the picture T points to, and say the word.

  3. Teacher

    T asks some Ss to point at a picture and say the word, and asks the class: 'Is it zebu or zebra?' when T shows a picture with a bump.

    Pupils

    Ss point and say the words. Possible answers: 'Zebu!' (bump) and 'Zebra!' (stripes). Ss say: 'That's a zebu.' 'That's a zebra.'

  4. Teacher

    T gives the feedback and summarises the words: 'zoo – vườn thú, zebu – con bò u with a bump, zebra – con ngựa vằn with stripes.'

    Ss repeat the three words and their meanings in English and in Vietnamese.

Activity 3: Practice · 9 minutes

Content

Ss do Exercises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the textbook and in Worksheet 1. T plays the audio on the NeoEdu page for listening tasks (1, 2, 5, 6). Ss work in pairs: one student listens and the other checks. Exercise 5 and 6: Ss say 'Yes' (Đúng) or 'No' (Sai) with the picture. T checks each answer aloud.
Worksheet 1 (Phiếu học tập số 1) is used in this activity.

Expected outcomes

  2. Teacher

    T plays audio for Exercises 2, 5 and 6 and walks around to check. T reads Exercises 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10 aloud and asks Ss to answer. If Ss are wrong, T says the word again and asks them to listen to the ending.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, choose and write answers in pairs. In Exercise 5, Ss answer: 'No, it's a zebu, not a zebra.' In Exercise 7, Ss choose A, C and D.

  3. Teacher

    T calls on individual Ss to read their answers and checks as a class. T asks the class to show the answers with thumbs up or down.

    Pupils

    Ss correct their answers in the worksheet and repeat the key point.
