I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- pronounce the words sunny and rainy with stress on the first syllable (SUN-ny, RAIN-y), and say the -y ending lightly;
- understand a short reading text about the weather in Hue and Lan’s plan to go to the park;
- use the structures “What was the weather like…?”, “It was…”, “It is…” and “Do you want to go to…?” to talk about weather and invitations;
- write 4–5 sentences about a weather table for two places, last weekend and today.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and repeat the words sunny and rainy, read the short text to find the topic and specific information, chant and talk about the weather, and write a short description of a weather table.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss stress the first syllable of sunny and rainy; use the weather words sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy, weather, park, water park, last weekend; use was/is correctly (was for last weekend, is for today).

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own pronunciation and sentences by re-reading, and correct mistakes in the reading and writing tasks without waiting for the teacher to correct them.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to chant, ask and answer about the weather, and give feedback to a partner on stress and sentence structure.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the weather table (real or imagined data) to build sentences, compare two places, and answer a classmate’s question about their project.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss practise the chant and the writing task at home and in class until they say and write the sentences correctly.
Responsibility: Ss complete their own weather table and speak clearly about their project, and they use the data honestly, marking imagined data as imagined.
Honesty: Ss label imagined weather data clearly and do not present it as a real forecast.
Kindness: Ss listen politely to classmates’ presentations and give encouraging, specific feedback on pronunciation and sentences.
Patriotism: Ss show pride in the weather and places of Viet Nam (Hue, Vinh, Da Nang) when they describe them in English.

Stress in sunny and rainy

Listen, point and say: Ss listen to two words and point to the correct picture (exercise 1). Stress is on the word, not the whole sentence.
