Giáo án Lesson 2

Ss recall the school places they already know and the question Where is your school? so that they are ready for the new lesson.

Game 'Picture Chain': T shows a picture of a school and asks Ss to name places they see in or around a school. Ss then ask and answer in pairs using the location pattern It's in the city/town/village/mountains.

Ss name at least three school places in English and answer one location question about their school in a full sentence.

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of four new words: classroom, computer room, playground, garden.

T uses flashcards, gestures and real objects to present the four words. Ss repeat, play 'Cover the word' (T covers the meaning and Ss say the word), and do Worksheet No. 1 (match words with meanings, listen and choose, find the word for garden, and decide True or False).

Worksheet No. 1 completed with the correct answers: 1) classroom – phòng học; computer room – phòng máy tính; playground – sân chơi; garden – vườn. 2) Listening: A (classroom). 3) Meaning of garden: C. 4) Statement 'classroom means computer room': False.

Ss understand and use the question How many + plural noun + are there? and the answer There is one… / There are…, and they can give information about the number of places in school.

T models the dialogue: A: How many classrooms are there? B: There are twelve classrooms. T explains the grammar in simple terms: use There is for one, There are for two or more, and add -s to the plural noun (classroom → classrooms, computer room → computer rooms). Ss complete exercises 3, 4 and 7 on Worksheet No. 2.

Worksheet No. 2 completed: 3) There {{1}} twelve classrooms → are. 4) Sentence: There are twelve classrooms. 7) Listening: A (There are twelve classrooms.). Ss can explain in one sentence why we say There are instead of There is.

Ss use the target question and answer in pairs, change information so that it is correct for their school or an imaginary school, and confirm what they heard.

Pair work: Student A asks How many classrooms are there? Student B answers with real or imaginary information. Then A repeats the answer to confirm. The pair changes roles and changes at least one piece of information (for example, the number of classrooms or the place). Ss write two lines of their conversation to complete exercise 8.

Exercise 8 completed in writing, with two exchanges, for example: A: How many classrooms are there? B: There are twelve classrooms. A: So there are twelve classrooms. B: There is one computer room. A: How many computer rooms are there? B: There is one computer room. The pair gets full marks if the sentences are correct and clear: question function 0.5, correct answer structure 0.5, suitable information 0.5, clear and readable writing 0.5.

Ss sing or chant four lines about their school with the target structures, and change one piece of information correctly.

Class chant with four lines written by the teaching team: There are eight classrooms. / There is one computer room. / There is a small garden. / We like our school. T leads the chant with the beat of four claps per line. Ss swap roles and change one piece of information (for example, eight → ten classrooms) before the second round. Ss complete exercise 9: chant or sing in pairs with a changed line.

Exercise 9 completed: Ss chant four lines with clear words and a steady rhythm, and change one line correctly (for example, There are ten classrooms.). Expected result: four correct lines in the chant, with one changed line that is grammatically right. Assessment: the four lines are complete and keep the same meaning and structure (1 point); the words are clear and the rhythm is steady (0.5 point); the pair swaps roles and changes one piece of information sensibly (0.5 point). Pronunciation and singing are not scored automatically.

Ss apply the vocabulary and structures to describe the facilities of their own school in a short written project, and share it with classmates.

Project 'My School Map': Ss draw a simple map of their school (or an imaginary school) with at least four places: classroom, computer room, playground and garden. Ss write four sentences with How many… and There is/There are, for example: How many classrooms are there? There are eight classrooms. Ss present their map to a partner in one minute. The project can be finished at home and presented in the next lesson.

A simple school map with labels in English and four written sentences. Each sentence uses the correct structure: There is one… for one place, There are… for two or more places, and the correct plural form (classrooms, computer rooms). Ss present their map to a partner using the question and answer pattern.
