    • Make and respond to invitations with 'Do you want to go to…?', 'Great! Let's go.' and 'Sorry, I can't.'
    • Ask about the meaning of signs ('What does it say?' / 'It says…') and give directions ('Go straight', 'turn left', 'turn right') with 'How can I get to the…?'
    • Ask where places are and how much things cost ('Where's the…?', 'How much is/are…?') and describe positions with next to, between… and…, behind and opposite.
    • Use 'these' and 'those' with 'What are these/those animals?' and 'They are…', and give reasons with 'Because they…'.
    • Describe actions in progress with 'What is he/she doing?' / 'What are they doing?' and the present continuous (am/is/are + V-ing).
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen twice (first for main ideas, then for details), speak in pairs about weather, invitations, directions, shopping and animals, and write and read a short paragraph about their own weekend.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use was, says, prepositions of place, these/those, because and the present continuous correctly, including the -ing forms put-putting, take-taking, play-playing and tell-telling, and do not use 'does' in 'What is he doing?'.

2. General competences

  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in groups and pairs to ask, answer and explain their answers politely, and give one constructive comment to a partner.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss rearrange jumbled sentences, complete gaps with the correct word, and design a mind map and a short paragraph that use the language of Units 16–20.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss follow road safety rules, practise giving directions only with an adult when they go outside, and report their results honestly to the group.
  • Kindness: Ss observe animals from a distance, do not feed or tease them, and give friendly, encouraging comments to their classmates during pair and group work.
  • Diligence: Ss complete every task on the worksheets, check their answers carefully, and finish the homework paragraph on time.

    Pupils

    Ss listen to the rules, sit in a circle or in rows and get ready to pass the ball.

  2. Teacher

    T plays music, stops it at random, and asks the student holding the ball a weather question. T gives a star to each correct answer.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 14 minutes

Mind map: Units 16–18 (Weather, city and shopping)

Aims

Ss systematise the key structures of Units 16, 17 and 18 by working in expert groups and sharing them with the class.

Content

Ss are divided into three expert groups. Group A studies Unit 16 (Weather and invitations). Group B studies Unit 17 (In the city: signs and directions). Group C studies Unit 18 (At the shopping centre: places and prices). Each group completes Worksheet 1 and draws a mind map on A3 paper with the key structures and one example sentence. Important notes: right and left are based on the direction the speaker is facing; practise directions outside only with an adult.

Expected outcomes

Three mind maps on A3 paper. Each mind map includes at least three key structures and one correct example sentence, for example: 'What was the weather like yesterday?' - 'It was cloudy.' / 'What does it say?' - 'It says stop.' / 'Where's the bookshop?' - 'It is behind the post office.' / 'How much is the hat?' - 'It is 50 thousand dong.'

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T divides the class into three groups and hands out Worksheet 1. T says: 'Group A: Unit 16. Group B: Unit 17. Group C: Unit 18. You have 6 minutes to draw your mind map.' T shows the NeoEdu page for Review 4 so Ss can check the examples.

    Pupils

    Ss move to their groups, read the guide on Worksheet 1 and decide who will draw, write and speak.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around, checks the sentences and asks guiding questions: 'Is it was or is here? Why?' / 'Is the bakery to the left or to the right of you?' / 'Do we say is or are for one hat?'

    Pupils

    Ss discuss and draw their mind maps. Expected answers: Group A: 'It was windy.' / 'Do you want to go to the park?' - 'Great! Let's go.' Group B: 'It says stop.' / 'How can I get to the bank?' - 'Go straight and turn right.' Group C: 'It is next to the bakery.' / 'How much is the shirt?' - 'It is 50 thousand dong.'

    Pupils

    Each group presents its mind map. Other Ss answer T's question. Expected answers: 'Are for many items.' / 'It shows that you can't go.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises on the board: was for past weather, is for today; says for signs; next to, between A and B, behind, opposite for places; left and right depend on the speaker's direction. T reminds Ss: 'Practise directions outside only with an adult.'

    Pupils

    Ss copy the summary into their notebooks and add the key points to their mind maps.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 14 minutes

Expected outcomes

Ss point to pictures and say correct sentences such as 'They are elephants.' / 'Because they are beautiful.' / 'He is putting up a tent.' / 'They are playing tug of war.' Ss spell the -ing forms correctly on the board.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the animal picture and asks: 'What are these animals?' T models the answer: 'They are elephants.' T asks: 'Why do you like elephants?' and models: 'Because they are beautiful.'

    Pupils

    Ss listen carefully and look at the pictures. Expected answer: 'They are elephants.'

  3. Teacher

    T invites three pairs to act out the questions and answers in front of the class. T corrects pronunciation and -ing spelling.

    Pupils

    Pupils

    Ss write two example sentences in their notebooks, one with these/those and one with the present continuous.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 15 minutes

Exercises 1–10 completed correctly on Worksheet 2. Answer key: 1. was (It was windy last weekend.) 2. says (It says stop.) 3. to (It is next to the bakery.) 4. are (They are elephants.) 5. is (He is putting up a tent.) 6.

(answer with Great! Let's go or Sorry, I can't, with a reason). How much is your bag? (or other item, price in thousand dong). What are these animals? Why do you like them?

Activity 4: Application · 8 minutes

Fun corner: My summer camp journal

Aims

Ss write a short paragraph about their weekend and their favourite animal, then read a partner's work and give one evidence-based correction.

Content

Ss write 4 or 5 short sentences: one about the weather last weekend, one invitation, one direction or sign, one animal with a reason, and one activity happening now. Then they join the sentences into a short paragraph. Ss swap their paragraphs with a partner, read them aloud, and correct one mistake with a reason. Homework: finish the paragraph and draw a route from home to school with directions, then check it with an adult.

Expected outcomes

A short paragraph of 5 to 7 sentences in each student's notebook, and one correction written on a partner's paragraph with a reason, for example: 'He is putting up a tent, not He putting up a tent, because we need the verb be.'

Procedure

    T says: 'Write your sentences first, then join them into a paragraph. Swap with a partner and find one mistake. Explain why.' T writes the sample sentences on the board.

    Pupils

  3. Teacher

    T asks two or three Ss to read their paragraphs aloud and asks the class: 'Did the partner's correction make sense? Why?'

    Pupils

    Ss read their paragraphs. Classmates reply: 'Yes, because the verb be was missing.'

  4. Teacher

    T praises the work and gives the homework. T says: 'Remember to practise directions only with an adult, and observe animals from a distance.'
