Giáo án Lesson 1

T greets the class and says: 'Good morning, class! Let's clap the rhythm with me. Ready? School, classroom, say with me!'

T leads the chant line by line: 'school, classroom, say with me!' and 'library, playground, one, two, three!'. T asks: 'After each line, let's say the full answer. Is this our library? ... Yes, it is!'

T asks: 'Which places are in our chant?'

T praises the class and says: 'Great job! Today we will learn more about the places in our school.'

T shows the picture flashcards one by one and asks: 'What's this?'

T plays the recording for Look, listen and repeat twice. T models each word, then asks Ss to repeat chorally and then individually. Then T plays Listen, point and say and asks: 'Point to the library. Say the word.'

T asks pairs to play 'Point and say': one student points to a picture and the other says the word. T walks around and checks pronunciation of the word 'classroom'.

T explains the meanings: 'School means trường học. Classroom means lớp học. Library means thư viện. Playground means sân chơi.' T asks: 'What is the meaning of library?'

T points to the classroom picture (near) and the playground picture (far). T asks: 'Is this our classroom?' and 'Is that our playground?' T asks: 'Which place is near? Which place is far?'

T models the dialogue with one student: 'Is this our library?' - 'Yes, it is.' T then points to the gym picture and asks: 'Is this our library?' - Ss answer: 'No, it isn't.' T asks Ss to repeat the pattern chorally. Then T asks pairs to practise: one asks, one answers, and they swap roles.

T invites 2 or 3 pairs to perform their dialogue in front of the class. T asks: 'Why do we say this for a near place?'

T writes the key pattern on the board: Is this/that our + place? Yes, it is / No, it isn't. T reads the note and asks Ss to copy it into their notebook.

T gives Worksheet 1 to each pair and says: 'First, listen for the key word. Second, listen to the whole line before you choose.' T plays the recording for exercise 1.

T plays exercise 2 and asks Ss to choose the sentence they hear. T plays exercise 3 and asks Ss to match the word with its meaning. T walks around to support pairs who are slow.

T asks: 'Why is A (Let's go to the music room) not correct in exercise 2?'

T reminds Ss: 'Listen to the whole sentence, not only the first word.' T gives praise for correct answers.

T gives Worksheet 2 and writes the sentence 'Is this our {{1}}? (thư viện)' on the board. T asks: 'Who is speaking? What is the question about?'

T asks Ss to write library in the blank (exercise 4) and then to rewrite the whole sentence: 'Is this our library?' T asks Ss to read it aloud. For exercise 5, T asks Ss to choose the sentence that matches the meaning. For exercise 6, T asks Ss to arrange the cards: This - is - our - library. For exercise 7, T asks: 'Which place is introduced with That is?' Then T models exercise 8: 'Is this our library?' - 'Yes, it is.'

T invites three pairs to perform exercise 8 in front of the class. T gives feedback on pronunciation of library and playground.

T summarises: 'This is for a near place. That is for a farther place. Use our for the place that belongs to all of us.' T asks: 'What does this mean?'

T divides the class into groups of four, gives each group the role cards and a set of picture cards, and explains the task. T demonstrates with one group: 'Guide points and says: This is our classroom. Questioner asks: Is this our classroom? Answerer says: Yes, it is.'

T asks groups to walk to the four picture stations around the room. T monitors and helps groups who need more examples: 'Is that our playground?' - 'Yes, it is.'

T asks each group to present one sentence from their tour to the class and asks: 'Which place is near and which place is far?'

T plays a quick 'Fun corner' game: T says a place name and points to a picture; Ss stand up if the answer is Yes, it is and stay seated if the answer is No, it isn't. T praises the class and reviews the four words.
