I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- pronounce the sounds /dʒ/ in jam and /w/ in water and tell them apart
- read the text 'My birthday party' and find the topic and specific information
- ask and answer about birthday months with 'When's your birthday? - It's in + month' and order food and drinks with 'I want some...'
- write a short birthday invitation of 4–5 sentences with the correct information
Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and repeat jam and water, read the birthday text to find information, and write and present a 4–5 sentence invitation.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce /dʒ/ and /w/ correctly, use the months January, February, March, April, May and June, and use some with uncountable nouns (some jam, some water) and in with month names.

2. General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text on their own at least twice, underline the key words and check their own sentences for correct verb forms before they hand in their work.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to repeat sounds, read aloud, check each other's invitation details and share answers with the class.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss design an imaginary birthday invitation with a made-up party, date, time and place, and answer a question from a partner about it.

3. Personal qualities

Responsibility: Ss finish their own worksheet and invitation card and check their details (date, time, place) carefully before they present.
Kindness: Ss give polite, specific feedback to a partner about pronunciation and information, and they say thank you and please when they invite their partner.

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Guess my birthday month

Aims

Ss recall the names of the months January to June and use the question 'When's your birthday?' to start the lesson.

Content

T plays a guessing game: T says 'My birthday is in ___' and Ss guess the month. Then Ss ask their partners 'When's your birthday?' and answer 'It's in + month'. Vocabulary: January, February, March, April, May, June.

Expected outcomes

Ss say the six months correctly and ask and answer at least one question about a birthday month with their partners.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T greets the class and says: 'Let's play Guess my birthday month. Listen carefully.' T shows the months flashcards from January to June.
Pupils
Ss listen and look at the flashcards. Ss repeat the months after T in chorus.
Teacher
T says: 'My birthday is in May. Guess!' T gives 2–3 more clues and asks: 'When's your birthday?' T models the answer: 'It's in June.' T asks Ss to ask their partners in pairs.
Pupils
Ss guess: 'Is it in May?' - 'Yes, it is.' In pairs, Ss ask 'When's your birthday?' and answer 'It's in March' (for example).
Teacher
T calls on 3 pairs to share their questions and answers, and gives quick praise for correct pronunciation of the months.
Pupils
3 pairs report, e.g. 'When's your birthday?' - 'It's in April.' Other Ss listen and clap if the answer is correct.
Teacher
T writes the title 'My birthday party' on the board and says: 'Today we will learn two new sounds and read about a birthday party.'
Pupils
Ss look at the title and predict what the text is about, e.g. 'It is about a birthday party.'

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 12 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: the sounds /dʒ/ and /w/

Aims

Ss pronounce the initial sounds /dʒ/ in jam and /w/ in water and recognise the difference between them.

Content

Look, listen and repeat: T models the two words and the sounds. /dʒ/: release the front of the tongue lightly and let the sound rub out. /w/: round the lips, then open them. Listen, point and say: T says the words in random order and Ss point to the correct picture and repeat. The model reading comes from the NeoEdu audio (en-US).

Expected outcomes

Ss repeat jam and water with the correct initial sounds, and point to the correct picture when T says the word.

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T shows the flashcard of jam and says /dʒ/ slowly: 'Listen. /dʒ/, jam.' T explains: 'Start with a light push of air, then let the sound rub. Put your tongue here.' T shows the lips for /w/ in water: 'Round your lips, then open. /w/, water.'
Pupils
Ss watch T's mouth and listen carefully. Ss ask 'Is it like the sound in June?' (T confirms: June also has the /dʒ/ sound; 'Yes, the sound is similar.')
Teacher
T plays the NeoEdu audio for jam and water. T leads chorus repetition, then individual repetition. T corrects directly: 'Round your lips more for water' or 'Don't add an extra vowel after jam.'
Pupils
Ss repeat in chorus, then 3–4 Ss repeat individually. Ss listen to the feedback and try again.
Teacher
T says the words in random order: 'water, jam, jam, water.' Ss point to the picture and repeat the word. T asks: 'Which word starts with /w/?'
Pupils
Ss point to the correct picture and answer: 'Water starts with /w/.' Ss repeat the word aloud.
Teacher
T summarises: 'Jam starts with /dʒ/ and water starts with /w/. They are different sounds.' T asks Ss to say the two words again without looking at the board.
Pupils
Ss say jam and water again and check their own pronunciation with a partner.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 12 minutes

Reading: My birthday party

Aims

Ss read the text to find the topic and the specific information, and read it aloud with correct sounds and rhythm.

Content

Text: My birthday is in March. My party is at home. I want some juice. My brother wants some water. We have a small cake. First reading: Ss find the topic. Second reading: Ss underline the words that answer the questions in Worksheet 1. Ss read the text aloud in pairs, then answer the comprehension check.

Expected outcomes

Worksheet 1 completed: topic = a birthday party; birthday month = March; place = at home; the writer wants some juice; the brother wants some water; they have a small cake. Comprehension check: 4. A (March). 5. True (The brother wants some water).

Procedure

Teacher's activities

Pupils' activities

Teacher
T writes the text on the board and says: 'Read once for the topic. What is the text about?' T hands out Worksheet 1.
Pupils
Ss read the text silently for the main idea. Ss answer: 'It is about a birthday party.'
Teacher
T asks: 'Read again. Underline the answers to the questions in Worksheet 1.' T walks around and checks. T reads the text aloud once, and Ss read after T line by line. Then pairs read aloud to each other.
Pupils
Ss underline: March, at home, some juice, some water, a small cake. Pairs take turns reading each sentence and check each other's sounds.
Teacher
T asks comprehension questions: 'When is the birthday?' (In March.) 'Does the brother want juice?' (No, he wants some water.) T then asks: 'Whose birthday is in March? A. March B. May C. June' (Answer: A).
Pupils
Ss answer in full sentences: 'The birthday is in March.' 'The brother wants some water.' Ss decide True or False for: The brother wants some water. (True)
Teacher
T highlights the pattern: 'I want some juice. My brother wants some water.' T says: 'Some is used with uncountable nouns like juice and water.' T asks Ss to read the sentences again.
Pupils
Ss read the two sentences aloud and copy the pattern into their notebook.
