Giáo án Looking Back

Ss recall five words and one sentence structure from Unit 1 before reading the explanations, and identify their own gaps.

Ss cover the memory box on the 'Looking Back' page and write from memory five words from the unit and one sentence structure they remember. Then T asks three quick questions and Ss answer before the explanation is opened:

• What is your favourite subject?
• What do students wear at your school?
• Who is your classmate?
  After that, Ss classify each mistake as meaning, word form, word order or missing information.

• A list of five words (e.g. subject, uniform, classmate, compass, calculator) and one structure (e.g. 'We often read.').
• A mini error log in the notebook, with each mistake labelled as meaning, word form, word order or missing information.

Ss systematise the eight vocabulary items and the present simple with adverbs of frequency, and state the rules in their own words.

Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs:

• Part A: match the eight words with their meanings (subject: môn học; uniform: đồng phục; classmate: bạn cùng lớp; compass: com-pa; calculator: máy tính; boarding school: trường nội trú; playground: sân chơi; creative: sáng tạo).
• Part B: complete the rules for the present simple.
• Part C: write one sentence for each adverb: always, usually, often, sometimes, never.

• Matching: subject - môn học; uniform - đồng phục; classmate - bạn cùng lớp; compass - com-pa; calculator - máy tính; boarding school - trường nội trú; playground - sân chơi; creative - sáng tạo.
• Rules: I/you/we/they study; he/she/it studies. Negative: do not / does not + base verb (She does not play chess.). Question: Do/Does + subject + base verb? (Does your brother often play chess?).
• Adverbs: placed before an ordinary verb (We often read.) and after be (Lan is always ready.). Usually and often have no fixed percentage; use them as general frequency only.

Ss read a new passage, identify the main idea, explain their answer, and retell the passage in their own words.

Ss read the passage on Worksheet 2 and answer the question 'Which club does Nhi choose?' Then Ss identify the main idea and rewrite it in their own words.
Passage: At Willow School, the art club meets on Mondays and the chess club on Fridays. Both start at three. Nhi likes drawing, so she chooses the art club. Bao brings his chess set on Fridays. They always put the equipment away before going home.
Language support: equipment (thiết bị); chess set (bộ cờ vua).

• Answer: B. The art club. Reason: the passage says 'Nhi likes drawing, so she chooses the art club.'
• Main idea: Willow School has an art club on Mondays and a chess club on Fridays, both starting at three.
• Own-words version (sample): 'At Willow School, art club is on Monday and chess club is on Friday, both at three o'clock. Nhi picks art because she enjoys drawing.'

Ss apply the vocabulary and grammar of Unit 1 to choose and complete sentences, and justify each answer with a rule.

Ss play a team relay on the board. Two teams line up; each member runs to the board, writes one answer for Exercises 1–8, then returns and tags the next member. The team must justify each answer with the rule.
Exercises:

1. We wear the same clothes to school. These clothes are our ___. A. classmates; B. uniforms; C. subjects
2. A pupil who studies in the same class as you is your ___. A. classmate; B. teacher; C. visitor
3. To draw an exact circle, use a ___. A. calculator; B. notebook; C. compass
4. Our pupils sleep at school during the week. It is a ___ school. A. primary; B. boarding; C. day
5. My friend and I ___ science in the garden every Friday.
6. Our club ___ at four on Thursdays. A. start; B. starting; C. starts
7. Choose the sentence with the usual position of sometimes. A. We are sometimes read outdoors.; B. We sometimes read outdoors.; C. We read sometimes our books.
8. ___ your brother often play chess? A. Does; B. Do; C. Is

1. B - uniforms (uniform = clothes worn by everyone in a school).
2. A - classmate (a pupil in the same class).
3. C - compass (draws circles); a calculator is for calculating.
4. B - boarding (pupils live at school); a day school pupils go home every day.
5. study - 'My friend and I' works like 'we', so use the base verb in the present simple.
6. C - starts (the club is singular, so add -s).
7. B - We sometimes read outdoors. (sometimes goes before an ordinary verb).
8. A - Does (your brother is third person singular, so use Does + base verb: play).

Ss use the vocabulary and present simple structures to write a short paragraph about their own school, and self-check with the grammar rules.

Ss write a paragraph of five to six sentences about their own school. The paragraph must include at least three vocabulary items from the unit, one sentence with an adverb of frequency in the correct position, one negative sentence with do not/does not, and one question with Do/Does.
Sample: 'At my school, we always wear a uniform. My classmate Lan is creative, and she often draws in the art club. We do not study on Sunday. Does your school have a playground?'

• A paragraph of five to six sentences that includes: three vocabulary items (e.g. uniform, classmate, playground); one adverb of frequency placed correctly (e.g. We often read.); one negative sentence (We do not study on Sunday.); one Do/Does question (Does your school have a playground?).
• A self-check mark in the notebook: each sentence is labelled with the rule it follows.
