Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T writes five topic titles on the board: All about me!, Our homes, My foreign friends, Our free-time activities, My future job. T explains the game: one S sits in the hot seat, classmates ask questions, the S answers with a complete sentence. T models with one S: 'Hello, I am Mai. Do you like reading?'
Pupils
Ss listen carefully and look at the five topics on the board. Ss ask the questions: 'Can you tell me about yourself?', 'What is your favourite colour?'
Teacher
T calls one S to the hot seat and tosses the ball to a classmate, who asks a question. T encourages Ss to answer with full sentences and gives quick feedback on the subject and verb.
Pupils
Ss in the hot seat answer, for example: 'My name is Hoa. I am in Class 5B.' Classmates ask follow-up questions, for example: 'Do you live in a house or a flat?' Expected answer: 'I live in a flat.'
Teacher
T asks Ss to name the topic of each question they heard, for example: 'Which unit is this question from?'
Pupils
Ss answer: 'All about me!', 'Our homes', 'My future job'... Expected answer: 'This question is from My future job, because it asks about what we want to be.'
Teacher
T praises Ss for their answers and introduces the aim of the lesson: connecting vocabulary and communicative functions of the five units.
Pupils
Ss copy the lesson title 'Review 1' and the three aims into their notebooks.
