I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • Name and pronounce four places for summer holidays: at the beach (ở bãi biển), at the campsite (ở khu cắm trại), in the countryside (ở vùng quê), in the city (ở thành phố).
  • Ask and answer the question 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' with 'Yes, I was' or 'No, I wasn't'.
  • Use 'was' and 'were' correctly to talk about past places, and ask 'Where were you...?' to ask about a place.
  • Confirm and repeat what a partner has said, then change one piece of information in a dialogue.
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen and choose the phrase they hear, ask and answer about past places, sing the four-line song, and write two turns of a short dialogue.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four place phrases correctly, use 'at' with the beach and the campsite and 'in' with the countryside and the city, and use 'was/were' to talk about the past.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss read each new phrase, cover its meaning and recall it on their own, and check their answers with the key before moving on.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about last weekend, listen to their partners carefully and ask again when they do not hear clearly.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss change the information in a dialogue to suit themselves or an imaginary character and make up their own survey questions.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss practise repeating the new words and sentences at home and in class without giving up when they make mistakes.
  • Responsibility: Ss complete their pair work and writing task on time and check their partner's answers honestly.
  • Kindness: Ss listen patiently and encourage classmates who are shy or slow when speaking.
  • Honesty: Ss give true answers about their own summer holidays or clearly say when they are using an imaginary character.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Warm-up and review: Summer places

Aims

Ss recall the idea of summer holidays and get ready to talk about places they went to.

Content

T shows a picture of summer and asks simple questions about places Ss know. Ss answer in short English or Vietnamese words. This is a light brainstorm, not a new language input.

Expected outcomes

Ss name two or three places they like to visit in summer and are ready for the new lesson.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T greets the class and shows a picture of a sunny day. T asks: 'What season is it now?'

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'Summer.' Ss look at the picture and get ready to speak.

  2. Teacher

    T asks: 'Where did you go last summer?' and points to the picture of the sea.

    Pupils

    Ss answer in short phrases, for example: 'I went to the sea.' or 'I stayed at home.' Some Ss may answer in Vietnamese; T repeats the idea in English.

  3. Teacher

    T writes the places Ss mention on the board and asks two or three Ss to say their answers again.

    Pupils

    Ss listen and repeat the places after T. Ss copy the words they know into their notebooks.

  4. Teacher

    T says: 'Today we will learn four places for our summer holidays and how to ask about them.' T writes the title of the lesson on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss open their textbooks at Unit 10, Lesson 1 and listen to the teacher.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 12 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: Four places

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of four places: at the beach, at the campsite, in the countryside, in the city.

Content

Ss look at the picture cards and the textbook, listen to the audio, and repeat each phrase. Ss use 'cover and guess' to recall the meaning without reading the Vietnamese word. Ss do not read the phrases letter by letter; they use gestures or real objects to remember them. The NeoEdu presentation is used to show each place.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the four phrases correctly and match each phrase with its picture and meaning.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the picture card of the beach and says 'at the beach' three times with a wave gesture. T shows the four cards on the projector and explains that the words are for places.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the pictures and listen carefully to the sounds of the phrases.

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio. T says each phrase and asks the class to repeat chorally, then individually. T asks: 'What do you do at the beach?' to check understanding.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the four phrases chorally, then individually. Some Ss answer: 'We swim at the beach.' or 'We play at the beach.'

  3. Teacher

    T uses the cover-and-guess game: T hides the meaning and shows a picture card. Ss say the phrase, then the Vietnamese meaning.

    Pupils

    Ss work in groups of four. One S shows a card, others say the phrase and the meaning. Ss give each other a sticker for each correct answer.

  4. Teacher

    T asks: 'Which place is the countryside?' and 'Which place is the city?' T confirms and points to the picture cards to review all four phrases.

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'The countryside is in the countryside.' No. Ss answer: 'The countryside is at the bottom of the picture.' (Expected answer: 'Countryside is a place with fields and trees.') Ss write the four phrases and meanings in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 13 minutes

Listen, point and say: Were you at the campsite?

Aims

Ss understand and use the question 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' and the answers 'Yes, I was' and 'No, I wasn't'.

Content

Ss listen to the model dialogue, point to the picture in the textbook and say the question and answer. T explains that 'was/were' is used for past actions, 'I' is answered with 'I was', and 'You' asks with 'Were you...?'. Ss also learn that 'Where were you...?' asks about a place. Ss do not need to learn rules of tense in detail; they use the sentence patterns in context.

Expected outcomes

Ss ask and answer the dialogue correctly, using 'was' for 'I' and 'were' for 'you' in questions.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T writes the model dialogue on the board: 'A: Were you at the campsite last weekend? B: Yes, I was.' T points to the words 'Were you' and 'I was'.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the board and the textbook. Ss listen to the dialogue twice and point to the pictures.

  2. Teacher

    T asks: 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' T answers with 'No, I wasn't.' and writes the answers on the board. T asks Ss to say the question and answer chorally, then in pairs.

    Pupils

    Ss repeat the question and answers. Pairs practise: one S asks, the other answers 'Yes, I was' or 'No, I wasn't'.

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Where were you last weekend?' and guides Ss to answer with 'I was at the beach.' T checks pronunciation of 'was' and 'wasn't'.

    Pupils

    Ss answer T's question in full sentences. Ss write the three sentence patterns in their notebooks: 'Were you...?', 'Yes, I was.', 'No, I wasn't.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'We use was or were for the past. We ask Were you...? and answer I was or I wasn't.' T shows the NeoEdu example slide for quick review.

    Pupils

    Ss listen and note the key points. Ss say the summary sentences together.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 15 minutes

Let's talk: Change the information

Aims

Ss ask and answer about their own or an imaginary person's last weekend, and change at least one piece of information in the dialogue.

Content

Ss work in pairs. Student A asks 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' Student B answers with true information or an imaginary character, then A repeats what B said. They swap roles and change at least one piece of information (place or answer). Ss ask again if they cannot hear clearly. Finally, Ss write two turns of the dialogue for the written task in exercise 8 of the lesson.

Expected outcomes

Each pair completes two rounds of the dialogue with a changed piece of information and writes two dialogue turns that are clear and correct.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T demonstrates with one strong S: T asks 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' and S answers 'No, I wasn't. I was at the beach.' T repeats: 'You were at the beach.'

    Pupils

    Ss watch the demonstration and listen to the repeated sentence.

  2. Teacher

    T asks Ss to work in pairs, rotates to listen and helps pairs that are stuck. T reminds Ss to repeat their partner's answer and to change one piece of information.

    Pupils

    Pairs practise the dialogue. Example: A: 'Were you in the city last summer?' B: 'No, I wasn't. I was in the countryside.' A: 'You were in the countryside.' Ss swap roles and change information again.

  3. Teacher

    T invites three pairs to act out their dialogue in front of the class and gives feedback on clarity and correct use of was/were.

    Pupils

    Pairs stand and act out their dialogue. Other Ss listen and say whether the answer is correct.

  4. Teacher

    T asks Ss to write two dialogue turns for the written task: a question about the campsite and an answer with a changed piece of information. T checks the first two Ss' papers.

    Pupils

    Ss write two turns, for example: 'Were you at the campsite last weekend?' / 'No, I wasn't. I was at the beach.' Ss keep the paper for the review.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 15 minutes

Quick check and Let's sing

Aims

Ss consolidate the vocabulary and sentence patterns through quick exercises, and practise rhythm and pronunciation by singing the new lyrics.

Content

Part A: Ss do Worksheet No. 1 (exercises 1, 2, 5, 6) and Worksheet No. 2 (exercises 3, 4, 7) in pairs. Part B: Ss sing the four-line song 'Were you in Hue last summer?' with the teacher's model. Ss tap four beats for each line, sing the first two lines higher and the last two lines lower, then swap parts or sing in turns, and change one piece of information.

Worksheet No. 1 and Worksheet No. 2 are used in this activity.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete the worksheets with the answers below, and sing the four lines of the song with correct rhythm.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T hands out Worksheet No. 1 and Worksheet No. 2 to each pair. T reads the instructions and checks that Ss understand 'listen and choose' and 'choose from the word bank'.

    Pupils

    Pairs read the instructions and look at the exercises. Ss ask T if something is unclear.

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio for exercises 2 and 7 and gives Ss time to check. T walks around to help pairs.

    Pupils

    Pairs complete the exercises. Ss listen and choose the answers and write them on the worksheets.

  3. Teacher

    T checks the answers with the class, then leads the song. T sings each line with the rhythm of four beats and asks Ss to repeat. T asks Ss to change one piece of information after two rounds.

    Pupils

    Ss check their answers and correct their mistakes. Ss sing the song in turns, for example: 'Were you in Da Lat last summer? Yes, I was.' Ss swap roles and sing again.

  4. Teacher

    T gives praise and stickers to the pairs with the most correct answers and the clearest singing. T reminds Ss that the song is for practising the question and answer.

    Pupils

    Ss listen to the feedback and write down any corrections in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Fun corner: Class holiday survey

Aims

Ss use the question 'Were you at ... last weekend?' in a real survey of their classmates and share the results with the class.

Content

Ss walk around the class with a simple survey card. They ask at least four classmates 'Were you at the beach/campsite/countryside/city last weekend?' and mark 'Yes' or 'No' for each person. Ss then report the results to the class in one sentence each, for example: 'Five friends were at the beach.' Ss wrap up the lesson by reviewing the four place phrases.

Expected outcomes

Each S completes a survey table with at least four classmates and reports one sentence about the results.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows a model survey card on the board and asks one S to ask T a question as a demonstration. T explains the rules: ask, answer, write Yes or No, then move to another friend.

    Pupils

    Ss watch the model and ask T a question. Ss understand that they will walk and ask at least four classmates.

  2. Teacher

    T starts the activity and walks around to check, helping Ss who forget the question form.

    Pupils

    Ss walk around the class, ask their classmates and write Yes or No on the card. Ss say 'Thank you' after each answer.

  3. Teacher

    T asks four Ss to report their results, for example: 'Three friends were at the beach.' T writes the best sentences on the board.

    Pupils

    Ss stand and report one sentence about their survey. Other Ss listen and give a sticker if the sentence is correct.

  4. Teacher

    T reviews the four places and the question 'Were you...?' and says: 'Next time, tell your family about your own summer holiday in English.' T gives the homework.
