Giáo án Lesson 3

T activates prior knowledge of sports and games and introduces the topic of break time.

T shows picture cards of sports and games one by one. Ss guess the names in English. Then T asks: What do you do at break time? Ss answer with I play … at break time.

Ss name at least four sports or games in English and answer the question What do you do at break time? with a complete sentence.

Ss recognise and pronounce the sounds /f/ in football and /v/ in volleyball, and understand that letter names are not the sounds of the letters in the words.

T describes how to make the sounds: /f/ – the upper teeth touch the lower lip, air is blown out, no vibration; /v/ – the same position, but the throat vibrates. Ss listen to the whole word, then repeat it slowly and then in a sentence.

Key points:

• The letter f in football is pronounced /f/.
• The letter v in volleyball is pronounced /v/.
• Letter names are not the sounds of the letters in the words.
• Do not add an extra sound at the end of consonants.

Ss pronounce /f/ and /v/ correctly in the words football and volleyball and say the sentence Football is my favourite game with correct sounds.

Ss read a short text, find information to answer questions, and understand the sentence patterns about break time activities.

Ss read the text: At break time, I play chess. My friend Thu plays badminton. We chat with our friends, too. Ss underline the people and activities in the text, and answer the questions with information from the text only. Ss do not guess information that is not in the text.

Ss complete Worksheet No. 2 with the correct answers: Question 1 – B. chess; Question 2 – C. badminton.

Ss practise rhythm and pronunciation of the target words and choose the correct word by listening.

Ss clap and chant: Say football, say volleyball. Say them slowly, say them well. Then Ss listen and choose the correct word (Listen and choose) and fill in the missing letter (Exercise 4).

Answers:

• Exercise 1: B. football
• Exercise 4: f (football)

Ss chant the words with correct rhythm and sounds, choose B. football in Exercise 1, and fill in the letter f in Exercise 4 (f-ootball → football).

Ss write 2–3 sentences about their own break time, using two patterns from the unit.

Ss choose two patterns: I play badminton at break time. / I chat with my friends. Ss change the information to fit themselves or an imaginary character, for example: I play volleyball at break time. I chat with my friends.

Rubric (3 points):

• Correct topic and 2–3 sentences (1 point);
• Correct use of the patterns and vocabulary (1 point);
• Capital letters for the beginning of sentences and names, and correct full stops (1 point).

Ss write 2–3 sentences on the small whiteboard or in the exercise book, for example: I play chess at break time. My friend Minh plays football. I chat with my friends.

Ss apply the language to a real situation by surveying three classmates about their break time activities and presenting the results in simple English.

Ss work in groups of four. Each S asks three classmates: What do you do at break time? Ss write the name and the activity in the survey chart (Name – Break time activity). Then Ss present the results using the pattern: (Name) plays … at break time. Each presenter invites one question from the class. Safe materials only are used for the survey (paper, pencils, small whiteboards).

Rubric (3 points):

• Correct product with at least two details (1 point);
• Correct use of the patterns and vocabulary (1 point);
• Clear presentation, answer one question and cooperate with the group (1 point).

Each group has a completed survey chart with three names and activities, and a 3-turn presentation: greeting, showing the chart and using the patterns, and answering one question from the class.
