Giáo án Lesson 3

Ss recall the names of the seven days of the week in order and use the question What day is it today? to start the lesson.

T shows the flashcards of Monday to Sunday and says each day clearly. Ss repeat as a whole class, then play a quick game called Next day: T says a day and Ss say the next day in the week (for example, Thursday – Friday). T also asks What day is it today? and Ss answer, for example, Today is Friday. T reminds Ss that Tuesday and Thursday are different days and should not be confused.

Ss say the seven days in order and answer What day is it today? with a complete sentence.

Ss pronounce the letter u in music (/juː/) and in Sunday (/ʌ/) correctly and understand that the same letter can have different sounds, so they should not guess the sound from the letter name.

Look, listen and repeat: T plays the model of the words music and Sunday on NeoEdu and models each word twice. Ss repeat the words in chorus, then individually. Listen, point and say: T reads the two words in random order and Ss point to the correct card and say the word. Then Ss say each word in a new sentence (for example, I like music. / I stay at home on Sunday.). Stress: the stressed syllable is marked with a strong beat when Ss clap.

Ss pronounce music and Sunday with the correct sounds /juː/ and /ʌ/, point to the correct word in Exercise 1 and answer Exercise 2 correctly: the u sounds are different.

Ss read a short passage about weekly activities, find the topic in the first reading and find the specific information in the second reading to answer questions.

T reads the passage aloud and models pronunciation: Today is Friday. I study at school. On Saturdays, I play football. On Sundays, I listen to music with my sister. First reading: Ss read silently and find the topic (a child's activities on the weekend and during the week). Second reading: Ss underline the words that answer the questions in Worksheet 1. Ss answer the multiple-choice and true/false questions in Worksheet 1. T checks answers with the whole class.

Ss complete Worksheet 1: Exercise 4 (C – Saturday), Exercise 5 (False: the child listens to music on Sundays, not Fridays) and identify the topic of the passage.

Ss say the chant with the correct rhythm, pronounce the target words clearly and make new sentences with the target words.

Let's chant: T teaches the chant line by line. Words and clapping: music – clap – Sunday – clap. T reads two sentences: I have Music on Monday. I stay at home on Sunday. Ss read each word slowly, then the whole sentence. In groups of three, one S keeps a steady beat on the desk, one S gives the two words (music or Sunday), and one S says the sentence. Then they swap roles. Each S then makes two new sentences with music and Sunday, using the pattern of the chant.

Ss perform the chant with a steady beat and say two new sentences using music and Sunday correctly (for example: I listen to music on Sundays. I do housework on Sunday.).

Ss consolidate vocabulary and grammar of the lesson by matching words, deciding true or false and choosing the correct preposition.

Ss complete Worksheet 2 individually, then check in pairs. Exercise 6: Match the phrases with their meanings: Monday – thứ Hai; Thursday – thứ Năm; do housework – làm việc nhà. Exercise 7: Choose the correct word from the box to complete the sentence: I do housework {{1}} Sundays. Answer: on. Exercise 4 and 5 are reviewed from the reading. Ss also check the grammar: use on before days.

Ss complete Worksheet 2: Exercise 6 (Monday – thứ Hai; Thursday – thứ Năm; do housework – làm việc nhà) and Exercise 7 (on: I do housework on Sundays.).

Ss make a weekend calendar with two activities for Saturday and two for Sunday, then present it in 4–5 connected sentences and answer a question from a classmate.

Ss fold a sheet of A4 paper in half to make two columns: Saturday and Sunday. In each column, Ss draw two activities they often do and label them (play football, read books, do housework, listen to music). Ss present their calendar to a partner: they show one picture at a time and say the sentences. The partner asks one question about one activity on one day, and the presenter answers by checking the correct column. Sample product: Saturday – play football, read books; Sunday – do housework, listen to music. Sample presentation: On Saturdays, I play football. I read books, too. On Sundays, I do housework. I listen to music with my brother.

Each S has a labelled weekend calendar and gives a 4–5 sentence presentation (for example: On Saturdays, I play football. I read books, too. On Sundays, I do housework. I listen to music with my brother.) and answers one question from a partner.
