Giáo án Lesson 2

Ss warm up their listening and speaking, and review animal names and the sentence 'It's + verb-ing' from Lesson 1.

T leads a short chant with animal names and actions (e.g. 'A monkey, a monkey, what's it doing? It's climbing, it's climbing!'). Ss repeat the chant and act out the action.

Ss stand up, chant and act out the animal actions correctly and loudly enough for the whole class to hear.

Ss recognise and pronounce the five new words (elephant, parrot, counting, swinging, climbing) and use the pattern 'What's the + animal + doing? It's + verb-ing.'

Look, listen and repeat: T plays the audio and shows the pictures. Ss repeat each word in chorus, then individually.
Listen, point and say: Ss listen to the dialogue, point to the picture and say the answer.
Exercise 3 (matching): Ss match each word with its Vietnamese meaning.
Let's talk: Ss practise the model 'What's the monkey doing? – It's climbing.' with a partner, then replace the animal and the action.

Ss pronounce the five words correctly, match them with their meanings (elephant – voi; parrot – vẹt; counting – đang đếm; swinging – đang đu; climbing – đang leo), and ask and answer the question with a partner without looking at the book.

Ss listen to identify key words and sentences, and choose the correct answer.

Exercise 1: Ss listen to the words and choose the correct spelling (A. parrot; B. elephant; C. counting). Correct answer: B (elephant).
Exercise 2: Ss listen to a sentence and choose the correct one (A. I can see a tiger.; B. It's climbing.; C. What's the monkey doing?). Correct answer: B (It's climbing.).
Teacher reminds Ss: first listen for the key words; second listen to the whole sentence before choosing. Do not open the answers before listening.

Ss choose the correct answers: Exercise 1 – B (elephant); Exercise 2 – B (It's climbing.).

Ss read and complete the sentences with the correct form of 'be', and identify the correct sentence and the answer from a short text.

Exercise 4: Ss complete 'The parrot ____ counting.' (Answer: is).
Exercise 5: Ss choose the correct sentence (A. The parrot am counting.; B. The parrot is counting.; C. The parrot are counting.). Correct answer: B.
Exercise 6: Ss put the cards in order to make a correct sentence: The / monkey / is / climbing. (The monkey is climbing.)
Exercise 7: Ss read the short text and answer: 'What is the monkey doing?' (A. dancing; B. counting; C. climbing). Correct answer: C.
Worksheet No. 1 is used for Exercises 4–7. Ss work in pairs and write the full sentences in their notebooks, then read them aloud.

Ss complete the answers: Exercise 4 – is; Exercise 5 – B (The parrot is counting.); Exercise 6 – The monkey is climbing.; Exercise 7 – C (climbing). Ss read the full sentences aloud.

Ss listen, find the correct word card and use the sentence pattern in a fun game with a partner.

Ss use four cards: elephant, parrot, counting, swinging. One student says a word; the partner finds the card and says a sentence with 'It's climbing.' or the correct verb-ing. Each correct word and correct pattern earns one point. After four rounds, Ss swap roles.

Each pair plays four rounds. Ss use the correct word and the correct pattern in each round, for example: 'It's swinging.' or 'It's counting.' Ss write one word they need to practise more in their notebooks.

Ss practise asking and answering about animals at the zoo, using the pattern from the lesson, and give feedback to their partner.

Exercise 8: Ss ask and answer: 'What's the monkey doing?' – 'It's climbing.' Ss then swap roles and change the animal (e.g. elephant, parrot) and the action (e.g. swinging, counting). Scoring rubric (3 points): correct pattern and information (1); clear pronunciation of the key word (1); listens, answers and swaps roles appropriately (1).

Each pair completes two rounds of role-play. Expected sentence: 'What's the monkey doing? – It's climbing.' Ss score each other using the 3-point rubric.

Ss apply the words and pattern to a real-life situation by describing animals they would see on a zoo visit, and practise safe and kind behaviour towards animals.

Fun corner: Ss draw a zoo scene with at least two animals doing different actions (e.g. elephant – swinging, parrot – counting, monkey – climbing). Ss write one question and one answer about their drawing. Wrap-up: T reviews the rules of visiting the zoo: do not get close to the animals, do not feed them, and observe from a safe distance.
Homework: Ss ask their family the question 'What's the + animal + doing?' about a picture or a video of animals.

Each student draws one zoo scene and writes one question and one answer, for example: 'What's the parrot doing? – It's counting.' Ss repeat the zoo rules and sign a class pledge to observe animals safely.
