Giáo án Lesson 3

Ss recall the Unit 20 vocabulary and the present continuous form so they are ready for the new lesson.

T shows the flashcards one by one. T mimes an action (for example: putting up a tent). Ss guess the action in a full sentence with the present continuous, for example: You are putting up a tent. Then Ss play a quick game in pairs: one student mimes, the other guesses. Use the 'What are you doing?' question as a model for pairs.

Ss say at least five actions from Unit 20 in full present continuous sentences.

Ss recognise and pronounce the words visit and email with the correct stress and the /v/ sound.

T plays the model audio of visit and email several times. T explains: visit has two syllables, VIS-it, and the stress is on the first syllable. Email is also stressed on the first syllable, E-mail. For the /v/ sound in visit, Ss put their upper teeth lightly on their lower lip; they do not use /b/. Ss listen, point to the word they hear on the board, and repeat. Then Ss clap once for the stressed syllable. Note: American or British pronunciation are both accepted, and Ss do not have to copy one accent exactly.

Ss pronounce visit and email clearly, with the stress on the first syllable and the /v/ sound in visit.

Ss read a new passage about summer camp, identify the topic and find the answers to the questions in the text.

Ss read the passage on Worksheet 1. First reading: Ss find the topic of the passage. Second reading: Ss underline or highlight the words that answer the questions. T models the first reading with the class and checks that Ss understand the vocabulary: put up a tent (dựng lều), take a photo (chụp ảnh), tell a story (kể chuyện), play a card game (chơi bài). The passage: We are at summer camp. An is putting up a tent. Mai is taking a photo. The teachers are telling a story. Two girls are playing a card game.

Ss give the topic of the passage and answer the questions on Worksheet 1 with the correct details.

Ss practise the target sounds, stress, vocabulary and the present continuous through the exercises of the lesson.

Ss do exercises 1 to 7 from the lesson. Exercise 1: listen and choose the word you hear (visit or email). Exercise 2: say which syllable is stressed in visit and email. Exercise 3: read the passage again with a partner. Exercise 4: answer the question about Mai. Exercise 5: decide whether the sentence is true or false. Exercise 6: match the phrases to their meanings. Exercise 7: choose the correct word to complete the sentence They ___ playing tug of war. Ss check their answers in pairs and then with the class.

Ss complete the exercises with the following answers: 1) A (visit); 2) A (the first syllable); 4) A (taking a photo); 5) True; 6) put up a tent – dựng lều; tell a story – kể chuyện; email – gửi thư điện tử; 7) are (They are playing tug of war).

Ss chant the target words with the correct stress and rhythm and make new sentences with them.

T reads the chant: visit (clap) email (clap). Then T reads the model sentences: We visit a farm. I email my friend. Ss read each word slowly, then say the whole sentence. One student beats the rhythm steadily while the other reminds the words visit and email. Pairs swap roles, then each student makes two new sentences, one with visit and one with email. Ss use the stress rules: the beat goes with the stressed syllable, and the final consonants are pronounced clearly without adding an extra vowel.

Ss chant the words and the model sentences, swap roles, and say two new sentences, each with visit or email.

Ss draw an imaginary summer camp scene, label the actions with the present continuous, and present their picture in 4–5 sentences.

Ss draw a summer camp scene with five people: Minh, Ha, two friends playing a card game, and themselves. Ss label what each person is doing, then use Worksheet 2 to write 4–5 sentences that describe the picture. Ss use is/are + V-ing for the actions in the picture. Sample picture: Minh - put up a tent; Ha - take a photo; two boys - play a card game; I - sing a song. Sample writing: We are at summer camp. Minh is putting up a tent. Ha is taking a photo. Two boys are playing a card game. I am singing a song. In pairs, one student describes the picture and the partner points to the correct person after each sentence, then asks one question, for example: What is Ha doing? Assessment rubric: content and topic (0.75); sentences with correct vocabulary and structure (0.75 + 0.5 for presentation); clear writing, punctuation and capital letters for names (0.5); pronunciation clear and understandable (0.5); answer one question correctly (0.25). Homework: Ss finish the picture and rehearse the presentation at home.

Each student has a drawing with five labelled people and 4–5 correct sentences in the present continuous, and presents them to a partner.
