Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T says: 'Hello class! Let's warm up with a ball toss. When you catch the ball, ask one question from our five units. Then answer in a full sentence. Look at me first: Can you tell me about yourself?' T models a question and a response: 'My name is Linh. I am in Class 5A.'
Pupils
Ss listen carefully, stand in a circle and get ready to catch the ball.
Teacher
T tosses the ball to a S and monitors the game. T encourages Ss to use the full answer form and reminds them of the question words.
Pupils
S1 asks: 'Do you live in this building?' S2 answers: 'Yes, I do.' Then S2 throws the ball to S3 who asks: 'What nationality are you?' S3 answers: 'I am Vietnamese.' Other possible questions: 'What do you like doing in your free time?' – 'I like reading books.'
Teacher
T calls on three or four Ss to repeat their best question and answer. T corrects pronunciation of nationality, favourite and Australian and asks the class to repeat the words in chorus.
Pupils
Ss say their question and answer aloud. The class repeats the difficult words after the T: 'nationality', 'favourite', 'Australian'.
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Today we will connect all the vocabulary and questions of five units. Are you ready?'
Pupils
Ss answer together: 'Yes, teacher!'
