I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
Name and read the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (Monday (thứ Hai), Tuesday (thứ Ba), Wednesday (thứ Tư), Thursday (thứ Năm)).
Ask and answer the question 'What day is it today?' with the answer 'It is ...'.
Use capital letters for day names and recognise the correct order of the days in a week.
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and repeat the days of the week, ask and answer 'What day is it today?', read the day cards and write two lines of dialogue.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the four day words with the stress on the first syllable, use the vocabulary Monday–Thursday, and build the sentence 'It is Wednesday.' correctly.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss repeat new words independently, check their own pronunciation with the audio and use the cards to self-check the meanings.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to ask and answer about the day, and take turns fairly during the game.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use gestures, pictures and cards to remember words, and create their own short dialogues with new information.

3. Personal qualities

Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair work and game, and complete their dialogue writing at home on time.
Kindness: Ss listen to their partners without interrupting and encourage friends who are still learning the words.

Look, listen and repeat: Days of the week

Aims

Ss notice that day names begin with a capital letter. Note: Ss must NOT read the words letter by letter.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 15 minutes

Aims

Ss understand and use the question 'What day is it today?' and the answer 'It is ...' in a simple dialogue.

Content

T presents the model dialogue: A: What day is it today? B: It is Wednesday. T explains the structure: the question asks about the day, not the time. T gives the note: use 'on' before a day, for example on Monday and on Sundays (on Sundays means every Sunday, repeated each week). Ss listen, point to the dialogue in the book and say it with a partner.

Expected outcomes

Ss ask and answer 'What day is it today?' with the correct answer form 'It is + day name', and write the correct capital letter for day names.
