Giáo án Lesson 2

T says: 'Let's play Mime and Guess! Watch me and guess what I'm doing.' T mimes colouring with an imaginary pencil.

T mimes three different actions, one after another. After each one, T asks: 'What am I doing?'

T asks two or three Ss to say the answer with He's or She's. T says: 'Good! Today we will learn the letter Q q and some new actions.'

T praises the class and writes on the board: He's / She's + verb-ing.

T shows the letter Q q on the chant poster and asks: 'What letter is this?' T says the sound /kw/ and models: 'Q, q, quiz.' Ss repeat.

T plays the chant audio on NeoEdu. T pauses after each line, points to the picture and models the actions: colouring, hands up, and one-two-three. T asks: 'What is a square?' and 'What is a question?'

T divides the class into two halves. Half A chants the first three lines and half B chants the last three lines. Then they swap. T says: 'Now chant with all the actions!'

T revises the three new words with flashcards: square, question, quiz. T asks: 'What do you do with a quiz?' Expected answer: 'Do a quiz.'

T shows the first picture (a boy colouring a square) and says: 'He's colouring a square.' T asks: 'Who is he? A boy or a girl?' Then T shows the second and third pictures in the same way.

T writes colour, answer and do on the board and shows the changes: colour – colouring, answer – answering, do – doing. T models each sentence. Then T uses a 'Pass the Picture' game: Ss sit in a circle and pass a picture card; when T says 'Stop', the S holding the card says the sentence.

T asks: 'What is she doing?' and points to the third picture. T asks a few Ss to answer. T checks the pronunciation of -ing and the difference between He's and She's.

T writes the key sentences on the board and says: 'Remember! He's for a boy. She's for a girl. Don't forget -ing!'

T models writing the letter q on the board: 'Round belly first. Then a straight line down, below the line, on the right side.' T writes square, quiz and question one time each, slowly.

T asks Ss to write each word three times in the notebook. T walks around and checks letter size and spacing, especially the q and the -estion ending.

T asks two Ss to come to the board and write one word each. The class checks: 'Is the letter q correct?'

T praises Ss and reminds them that q is always followed by u in question and quiz.

T explains exercise 1: 'Listen. If you hear He's, choose the boy. If you hear colouring a square, choose the picture of colouring.' T plays the audio or reads the sentence aloud.

T plays the audio for exercise 1, pauses and asks: 'Which picture is it?' T repeats for exercises 2 and 3. Ss work in pairs: one S listens and points, the other checks.

T asks Ss to show their answers with fingers (1, 2 or 3 for A, B or C). T asks: 'Why is it B?' Expected answer: 'Because he's colouring a square.'

T confirms the answers: Ex 1 B, Ex 2 B, Ex 3 A. T reminds Ss to listen for the key words: He's/She's, colouring, answering, doing.

T divides the class into six groups and gives each group Worksheet 1. T explains the rules: 'Each group writes the answer on the small whiteboard. Show your answer when I say Show!'

T reads each question aloud (or shows it on NeoEdu). T gives groups about 30 seconds to think and write. T walks around and helps the groups that are stuck.

T says: 'Show!' Groups raise their boards. T checks each answer and asks the group to explain: 'Why is it doing?' Expected answer: 'Because she's doing a quiz.'

T counts the points and announces the winner. T confirms all the answers and corrects common mistakes: 'She's answering a quiz' (wrong) – 'She's answering a question' (right).

T models the game with one S: T mimes answering a question and asks the class: 'What am I doing?'

T asks pairs to play Guess My Action. T walks around, checks the sentences and helps with pronunciation.

T invites three pairs to show their mime in front of the class. T asks: 'Good! Who can say the full sentence?'

T summarises the lesson: 'Q q, quiz! He's colouring a square. She's answering a question. She's doing a quiz.' T gives the homework and reminds Ss to write the sentence at home.
