Giáo án Lesson 3

Ss recall the names of jobs and get ready for the lesson.

T shows flashcards of jobs one by one and gives a short clue. Ss guess the job. Target words: nurse, cook, doctor, driver, pupil.

Ss name at least four jobs in English and understand the clues. Expected answers: nurse, cook, doctor, driver.

Ss recognise and pronounce the weak vowel sound /ə/ in mother and doctor, and understand that the sound is the same in both words although the spelling is different.

Ss listen to the recording of Listen and repeat, then do Listen and choose (exercise 1) and think about exercise 2: the main sounds of mother and doctor are the same. Explanation: er in mother and or in doctor are both /ə/. The sound is short, weak and unstressed, and in American English the r is pronounced. The name of a letter is not the sound of the letter in the word. Listen to the whole word, say it slowly, then say it in a sentence.

Ss repeat the words with the correct weak /ə/ sound and choose the correct answer in exercise 1: A. mother. Ss answer exercise 2: a) True. b) True.

Ss read a short text, find the information about each family member, and complete the missing words.

T reads the text: 'My mother is a nurse. My father is a cook. My sister is a pupil. We help each other.' Ss do Read and complete (exercise 4: moth + er = mother) using Worksheet No. 1. Ss find the information in the text to answer exercises 5 and 6 (What is your mother? A. cook; B. nurse; C. driver. What is your father? A. doctor; B. worker; C. cook). Strategy: underline the person or thing in the question, find the sentence in the text, do not guess information that is not in the text.

Worksheet No. 1 completed: exercise 4: er; exercise 5: B. nurse; exercise 6: C. cook. Ss can explain how they found each answer.

Ss practise the rhythm of the target words with a chant, match the job words with their meanings, and use the words in simple sentences.

Ss clap the rhythm of mother and doctor in two beats. Ss chant: 'Say mother, say doctor. Say them slowly, say them well.' Then Ss do exercise 3: match doctor (bác sĩ), driver (lái xe), nurse (y tá). Then Ss make the sentence with the pattern Is he/she a + job? in pairs.

Ss chant the rhyme with the correct rhythm and no extra sound at the end of consonants. Ex 3 answers: doctor - bác sĩ; driver - lái xe; nurse - y tá.

Ss write 2–3 simple sentences about jobs using the patterns from the unit, and check the mistakes in words, capital letters and punctuation.

Ss read the model text and write 2–3 sentences about the jobs of people in their family or an imagined family, using the patterns She's a doctor. and Is he/she a + job? Ss use Worksheet No. 2 (Writing frame). Ss check their work: the right word, capital letters at the beginning of sentences and names, and a full stop at the end. Then Ss check with a partner.

Ss write 2–3 correct sentences on Worksheet No. 2, for example: My mother is a nurse. My father is a cook. She's a doctor. Ss self-check and peer-check using the three checklist points.

Ss draw their family or an imagined family, introduce the jobs of two people, and ask a classmate one question in a short presentation.

Ss draw a picture of their family or an imagined family. Ss prepare three steps: (1) prepare safe materials such as paper and coloured pencils; (2) write keywords and practise speaking; (3) present the picture, say the job of two people, for example: My mother is a nurse. She's a doctor. Then ask a classmate one question, for example: Is he a driver? Yes, he is. / No, he isn't. The product is not judged by beauty or cost. Teacher and adults give comments on information, English use and listening skills.

Each S has a family picture with at least two details, gives a 3-turn presentation, and asks one question. Assessment criteria: 3 points: correct topic (1); correct use of patterns and words (1); clear presentation, answering a question and cooperating (1).
