I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
Name and use four camp phrases: put up a tent, take a photo, play tug of war, tell a story.
Ask and answer 'What is he/she doing?' and 'What are they doing?' with present continuous answers (He is…, She is…, They are…, I am…).
Explain the form of the present continuous: am/is/are + V-ing, and spell the -ing forms of put, take, play and tell correctly.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and choose the correct phrase, read and match phrases with meanings, ask 'What is he doing?' and answer with a suitable present continuous sentence, and write two-line dialogues.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four phrases clearly with the correct stress, use the vocabulary correctly, and apply the present continuous with be + V-ing and correct spelling of put-putting, take-taking, play-playing, tell-telling.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss look at the picture cards and guess the meaning of new phrases on their own before checking with T, and self-check their answers in exercises.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer questions about the camp picture, and give feedback to their partners.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use the pattern to describe new camp pictures, reorder words into sentences, and make their own short dialogues by changing the information.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss practise pronunciation and drill the pattern repeatedly until they can say it fluently without looking at the book.
Kindness: Ss help a partner who is slow or shy by giving a clue or modelling the answer gently during pair work.

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 6 minutes

Mime and guess

Aims

Ss get ready for the lesson, revise -ing verbs and hear the question 'What are you doing?' in a fun way.

Content

T mimes an action (for example running, reading, singing, swimming). Ss ask 'What are you doing?' and T answers 'I am…'. Then Ss take turns to mime and classmates guess. The game moves to pairs at the end.

Expected outcomes

Ss can say at least five -ing verbs and ask and answer 'What are you doing?' with 'I am…'.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T introduces the game, shows a quick mime (running) and says: 'Guess what I am doing!' T asks the class: 'What am I doing?' and models the answer.
Pupils
Ss watch carefully and guess. Ss answer with 'You are running.' or 'You are running!'
Teacher
T calls on 3 to 4 Ss to mime. T asks the class 'What is he/she doing?' and helps when Ss need the -ing form.
Pupils
Ss mime one action each. The class asks 'What are you doing?' and the mimer answers 'I am…'. Expected answers: 'He is swimming.' / 'She is singing.'
Teacher
T asks a few Ss to repeat what their partner did. T writes the correct -ing forms on the board.
Pupils

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 12 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: camp vocabulary

Aims

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the four new phrases with the meaning and the picture.

Content

T uses the camp picture and flashcards to present put up a tent (dựng lều), take a photo (chụp ảnh), play tug of war (chơi kéo co) and tell a story (kể chuyện). Ss listen, repeat in chorus, then in groups, and do the cover game: cover the Vietnamese meaning and name the picture. Ss do Worksheet 1 (matching) in pairs.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce four phrases correctly and match each phrase with the correct picture and meaning on Worksheet 1.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the camp picture and asks 'What can you see in the picture?' T points to each action and says the phrase slowly: 'put up a tent'. Ss listen.
Pupils
Ss look at the picture and listen. Expected answers: 'I can see a tent.' / 'A boy is putting up a tent.'
Teacher
T models each phrase and asks Ss to repeat in chorus, then in rows, then individually. T corrects the stress. T uses the cover game: covers the meaning, points to the picture and asks Ss to say the phrase. T gives a gesture for 'tell a story' (open hands like a book).
Pupils
Ss repeat the phrases, play the cover game and say: 'Put up a tent!' / 'Take a photo!' / 'Play tug of war!' / 'Tell a story!' Ss do Worksheet 1 in pairs: they match each phrase with its meaning.
Teacher
T asks 2 pairs to read their answers on Worksheet 1. T confirms the correct matches and explains that Ss should not read letter by letter.
Pupils
Pairs report: 'put up a tent – dựng lều; take a photo – chụp ảnh; play tug of war – chơi kéo co; tell a story – kể chuyện.' Other Ss check and correct.
Teacher
T summarises the four phrases and asks the class to say them once more with a gesture.

Ss say the four phrases with gestures and write them in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 12 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: What is he doing?

Aims

Ss understand the structure of the present continuous and can make questions and answers with 'What is he doing?' and 'What are they doing?'.

Content

T models the dialogue: A: What is he doing? B: He is putting up a tent. T writes the structure am/is/are + V-ing on the board and explains that the action is happening now. T shows the spelling changes: put-putting, take-taking, play-playing, tell-telling. T reminds Ss: do not drop be, and do not use does in the question. Ss chant with the dialogue.
