Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes
Lucky Ball Review
Aims
To warm up Ss and review the self-introduction structures 'My name is...', 'I am in...' and 'I live in...' from previous lessons.
Content
Ss pass the ball around the circle while the music plays. When the music stops, the student holding the ball answers one question from the teacher: 'What is your name?', 'What class are you in?' or 'Where do you live?'. The answer must use 'I am' or 'I live'.
Expected outcomes
Ss answer at least one question with a complete sentence, for example: 'I am Nam. I am in Class 5A. I live in Hanoi.'

Pupils' activities
Teacher
T explains the rule of the game and plays the music. T says: 'Let's warm up with the Lucky Ball game. When the music stops, answer my question with a complete sentence.'
Pupils
Ss listen to the rules and pass the ball around the circle while the music is playing.
Teacher
T stops the music and asks the student with the ball: 'What is your name?', 'What class are you in?' or 'Where do you live?'. T gives praise and corrects the sentence if needed.
Pupils
The student holding the ball answers, for example: 'My name is Lan. I am in Class 5B.' The other Ss listen and repeat the correct sentence.
Teacher
T asks a few Ss: 'Can you tell us about yourself?' and writes the key words (name, class, live) on the board.
Pupils
Some Ss answer in full sentences, for example: 'I live in a village in the countryside.'
Teacher
T writes the title 'All about me!' on the board and says: 'Today we will learn how to ask and answer about our favourite subject.'
Pupils
Ss look at the title and predict the content of the lesson.
