Warm-up: Hot seat and review
Aims
Ss recall greetings and simple self-introduction phrases from earlier lessons and get ready for the new lesson.
Content
T shows a photo of a girl named Mai and asks the class to guess her name, class and favourite subject. Ss play a quick 'Hot seat' game: one S sits in front of the class and answers questions from the others.
Expected outcomes
Ss answer at least three questions about the 'Hot seat' student and use the phrases 'My name is...' and 'I am in...' correctly.
Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T greets the class: 'Hello, class! Look at this girl. Can you guess her name?' T shows the photo of Mai and writes the question 'What is her name?' on the board.
Pupils
Ss look at the photo and answer: 'Her name is Mai.' Ss say hello back to the teacher.
Teacher
T invites one S to sit on the 'hot seat' at the front. Other Ss ask questions: 'What is your name?', 'What class are you in?', 'Where do you live?'. T monitors and encourages quiet Ss.
Pupils
The S on the hot seat answers, for example: 'My name is Lan. I am in Class 5A. I live in Hanoi.' Other Ss listen and ask follow-up questions.
Teacher
T asks: 'What did you learn about your friend?' and elicits 'She is in Class 5A.'
Pupils
Ss report one piece of information about the hot seat student, for example: 'Lan is in Class 5A.'
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Today we will learn a new question to ask someone to introduce themselves.' T writes the title 'All about me!' on the board.
Pupils
Ss repeat the title 'All about me!' and open their notebooks.
