Giáo án Extension activities

Ss activate prior knowledge of animals and the places where they live.

T shows pictures of a bird, a spider, a fox and a rabbit one by one and asks Ss where each animal lives. Ss answer with simple sentences.

Ss name the homes of the four animals in English or with simple words (for example: A bird lives in a nest).

Look, listen and repeat the four words. Match each word with its meaning: nest (tổ chim), web (mạng nhện), den (hang trú của thú), burrow (hang đào dưới đất). T explains the note: one word does not mean every animal always lives in that place.

Ss match the four words with their meanings correctly and say one example sentence for each word, for example: A bird can build a nest in a tree.
