I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- Write the names of countries correctly, with capital initial letters, and match them with their Vietnamese names (Japan - Nhật Bản; Australia - Úc; Britain - Anh; Viet Nam - Việt Nam).
- Identify the country of a given city (Ha Noi - Viet Nam; Tokyo - Japan).
- Read clock times with a.m. and p. m. and compare the times in different cities (for example, 'It is four p.m. in Tokyo.').
- Explain which country is nearer to Viet Nam by using information about geographical location, not the length of the country name.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read the time table, ask and answer 'What time is it in ...?', and write two short sentences about the times in London, Ha Noi, Tokyo and Sydney.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce country names correctly, use the vocabulary 'extension' (extension activity), and use the structure 'It is ... in ...' with a.m. and p.m. correctly.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own answers against the key and correct their mistakes in their notebooks without help.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about times in different cities and share their reasons in complete English sentences.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the time table and a world map to solve the 'nearer or farther' problem and make up their own questions about time in cities.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss finish all the exercises in the given time and check their answers carefully.
Honesty: Ss admit their wrong answers in the self-check and correct them openly.
Patriotism: Ss say the name of Viet Nam and its capital Ha Noi in English with pride.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 7 minutes

Countries, capitals and their Vietnamese names

Aims

Ss match country names with their Vietnamese names and identify the country of a capital city.

Content

Ss do exercises 1, 2 and 3 of the extension activities. In exercise 1 Ss match the country names with the Vietnamese names; in exercises 2 and 3 Ss choose the country of Ha Noi and Tokyo (A, B or C). Ss work in pairs using a 'Think - Pair - Share' technique.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete the matching: Japan - Nhật Bản; Australia - Úc; Britain - Anh; Viet Nam - Việt Nam. Answers: exercise 2: A (Viet Nam); exercise 3: B (Japan).

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the matching task on the board and asks: 'Which country is Japan in Vietnamese?' T explains that country names always begin with a capital letter.
Pupils
Ss read the task and look at the words 'Japan, Australia, Britain, Viet Nam'.
Teacher
T asks Ss to think alone for 30 seconds, then discuss with a partner. T walks around and helps pairs who are stuck.
Pupils
Ss think, then discuss with a partner. Possible answers: 'Japan is Nhật Bản.' 'Viet Nam is Việt Nam, and the first letter is capital.'
Teacher
T calls on two pairs to report: 'Ha Noi is in which country?' and 'Tokyo is in which country?'
Pupils
Pair 1: 'Ha Noi is in Viet Nam. The answer is A.' Pair 2: 'Tokyo is in Japan. The answer is B.'
Teacher
T confirms the answers and writes on the board: 'Country names begin with a capital letter.' T says: 'The capital city belongs to its country.'
Pupils
Ss correct their answers in their notebooks and write the key sentence.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 8 minutes

Time in different cities and near or far countries

Aims

Ss read clock times in the table, compare times in different cities, and decide which country is nearer to Viet Nam.

Content

Ss use the time table (London 7:00 a.m.; Ha Noi 2:00 p.m.; Tokyo 4:00 p.m.; Sydney 6:00 p.m.) to read the times and compare them. T teaches the difference between a.m. (morning) and p.m. (afternoon/evening), and the sentence pattern 'It is ... in ...'. Ss use the map to decide whether Thailand or Britain is nearer to Viet Nam (exercise 8). Ss work in groups of four with a 'Jigsaw' technique: each pair takes one part (times, sentences, distance) and then teaches the other pair.

Expected outcomes

Ss read the times correctly: 2:00 p.m. = 2 o'clock in the afternoon; Tokyo is 2 hours later than Ha Noi by the table (4:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. = 2 hours). Ss write sentences such as 'It is seven a.m. in London.' and 'It is four p.m. in Tokyo.' Answer to exercise 8: Thailand is nearer to Viet Nam, because both are in Southeast Asia while Britain is in Europe.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T draws a paper clock on the board, sets it to 2:00 and asks: 'Is it morning or afternoon?' T teaches: 'a.m. = morning, p.m. = afternoon or evening.' T shows the table on the board.
Pupils
Ss look at the clock and answer: 'It is 2 p.m. It is the afternoon.' Ss copy the words a.m. and p.m. in their notebooks.
Teacher
T asks groups to read the table: 'What time is it in London? What time is it in Ha Noi?' Then T asks: 'Is Sydney 6:00 p.m. or 6:00 a.m.?' T gives the question for the Jigsaw: 'Which country is nearer to Viet Nam, Thailand or Britain? Why?' T gives a map to each group.
Pupils
Ss read the times aloud: 'It is seven a.m. in London.' 'It is six p.m. in Sydney.' Ss point to Thailand and Britain on the map and answer: 'Thailand is nearer, because it is in Southeast Asia like Viet Nam.'
Teacher
T asks one group: 'How many hours later is Tokyo than Ha Noi?' and another group: 'Which country is farther from Viet Nam, Britain or Thailand?'
Pupils
Group 1: 'Tokyo is 2 hours later than Ha Noi (4:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. = 2 hours).' Group 2: 'Britain is farther. It is in Europe.'
Teacher
T reminds Ss: 'Read the time carefully and decide on the context. Do not decide the distance from the length of the country name.' T writes the sentence on the board: 'It is ... in ...'.
Pupils
Ss write the key sentence and the reminder in their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Time and country quiz with Worksheet No. 1

Aims

Ss practice reading times, choosing answers and writing sentences about the time in different cities.

Content

Ss complete Worksheet No. 1 in pairs. The worksheet includes exercises 4 to 8 of the extension activities: reading the time in Ha Noi, comparing times, checking a true or false statement, writing two sentences about the time in two cities, and choosing the nearer country. Ss play a 'Quick Quiz' game: the pair that answers first and correctly gets a star.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet No. 1 with the answers: exercise 4: 2 (Ha Noi is 2:00 p.m.); exercise 5: 2 (4 p.m. - 2 p.m. = 2 hours); exercise 6: False (6:00 p.m. is 6 o'clock in the evening, not a.m.); exercise 7: sample answers 'It is seven a.m. in London.' and 'It is four p.m. in Tokyo.'; exercise 8: Thailand is nearer to Viet Nam, because both are in Southeast Asia.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T hands out Worksheet No. 1 to each pair and explains the rules of the 'Quick Quiz': 'Read the question, discuss with your partner, then write your answer. The first pair to finish correctly gets a star.'
Pupils

Teacher
T asks four pairs to read their answers for exercises 5, 6, 7 and 8. T writes the correct answers on the board.
Pupils

Teacher
T gives the stars and says: 'Well done! Remember: read the time carefully, and use the location of the countries to decide the distance.'
Pupils
Ss check their answers against the key and correct their mistakes in pencil.

Activity 4: Application · 6 minutes

Fun corner: My world time card

Aims

Ss apply the knowledge of country names, times and near or far countries to make a 'World Time' card in real life.

Content

Ss work in groups of four to make a 'World Time' card. Each card has the name of one country, its capital, a clock showing a time, and a sentence 'It is ... in ...'. Ss ask other groups: 'What time is it in ...?' Ss play a 'Time Walk' game: T calls a time and Ss answer with the city name. The unfinished card can be completed at home.

Expected outcomes

Each group has one 'World Time' card with a country name, a capital, a drawn clock and one correct sentence (for example, 'It is four p.m. in Tokyo.'). Ss use the sentence to ask one question in English.

Procedure
