Giáo án Lesson 2

T greets Ss and shows the birthday party picture on the screen. T asks: What can you see in the picture? Is it a birthday party?

T asks more questions: How old is the birthday boy? What is on the table? T gives cues when Ss are stuck.

T calls on some Ss to answer the questions in front of the class and praises them.

T introduces the topic of the lesson: My birthday party. T writes the title on the board.

T shows the flashcard May and says the word clearly, then asks Ss to repeat. T does the same with June, jam and water. T uses gestures or real objects to show the meaning: a calendar for the months, a jar of jam, a bottle of water.
T asks: What is this? What is the word for mứt?

T plays the cover-and-guess game: T covers the meaning on the flashcard (or hides the object) and says the word. Ss point to the correct picture or make a gesture. Then T reverses the game: T shows a picture and Ss say the word.

T calls on some pairs to say the four words and their meanings. T corrects pronunciation errors, for example the sound of /juːn/ and /dʒæm/ in jam.

T summarises the four words on the board and reminds Ss that months and food words always begin with a capital letter for months (May, June).

T plays the recording or reads the dialogue twice. Ss listen and point to the picture.
T: A: What do you want to drink? B: I want some water.
T asks: What is B's answer? Is it juice or water?

T explains the grammar in simple words:

• When's your birthday? – It's in + month: It's in May. Do not use on before a single month.
• What do you want to eat/drink? Use eat for food (cake, bread), drink for drinks (milk, juice).
• Some is used with uncountable nouns: some jam, some water.
  T asks Ss: Is it It's on May or It's in May? Is it I want a water or I want some water?

T asks Ss to practise in pairs. A asks B about the birthday month and B answers. Then A asks B about the food or drink at the party. T moves around the class to check pronunciation and sentences.

T summarises the key points on the board: in + month, eat for food, drink for drinks, some + uncountable noun. T asks Ss to check the grammar box in the textbook.

T explains the rules: Ss take turns to place a card in the correct column, then make a sentence with I want some... The group with the most correct sentences in two minutes wins a star. T gives out Worksheet 1 and the cards.

T sets the timer and monitors the groups. T checks whether Ss use some correctly with uncountable nouns (some jam, some water) and drink/eat correctly.

T asks one group to show their sorting and read their sentences aloud. T confirms the answers: Food: cake, bread, jam; Drinks: milk, water, juice.

T gives stars to the winning group and praises all the groups. T reminds Ss that cake and bread are food, so they use eat in questions, while milk and juice are drinks.

T shows Exercises 1 to 7 on the screen. T reads the instructions and checks that Ss understand them. T plays the listening track for Exercises 2 and 7 twice.

T asks Ss to work individually for three minutes, then check with a partner. T walks around the class and helps Ss who are stuck.

T calls on Ss to give their answers, one exercise at a time. T asks the class to say if the answer is right or wrong and why.

T confirms the correct answers and summarises the common mistakes: May is a month name, not a drink; use some before water and jam; in is used before months.

T explains the survey task: Ss walk around and ask three classmates the two questions. T demonstrates with one S. T then gives the Exercise 8 instructions.

T monitors the survey and encourages Ss to use in + month and some + drink. In the pair part, T asks Ss to write two lines and say them clearly.
T evaluates using these criteria: correct question (0.5), correct answer pattern (0.5), suitable information (0.5), clear speech and readable writing (0.5).

T asks two or three pairs to perform their dialogues in front of the class and gives positive comments.

T summarises the lesson: new words May, June, jam, water; patterns When's your birthday? It's in + month, and What do you want to eat/drink? I want some... T reminds Ss to do the homework.
