I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • use the possessive 's with a person's name to show ownership (e.g., Nam's room, Linh's desk)
  • tell the difference between 's as possession and 's as is (e.g., Nam's room vs. Nam's tall)
  • use prepositions of place (in, on, under, behind, in front of, next to, between A and B) to describe where things are in a house
  • explain their choice of a correct option and correct their own mistakes based on the context

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss complete the tasks on their own, check their answers against the key and explain why the wrong options do not fit the situation.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to describe the room plan, ask and answer questions, and share their ideas in the class discussion.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss analyse the context (the noun, the subject and the position words) to choose the correct structure and create their own sentences about a room.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss use the vocabulary of the topic 'My house' to describe a room plan orally and to write 4–5 sentences about a room.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss recognise the form and meaning of possessive 's and prepositions of place, and use the eight new words (apartment, living room, kitchen, wardrobe, cupboard, shelf, pillow, hall) correctly.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss complete the worksheets carefully, check their answers with their partners and correct their own errors before reporting.
  • Honesty: Ss admit when they are unsure of an answer and explain their reasoning truthfully instead of guessing.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Warm-up: What is in my house?

a) Aims

Ss recall the vocabulary about rooms and furniture and get ready for the topic of the lesson.

b) Content

Ss look at the flashcards with the words apartment, living room, kitchen, wardrobe, cupboard, shelf, pillow and hall. T asks Ss to say which rooms or things they have at home. T asks: 'What rooms are there in your house?' and 'Where is your pillow?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss name at least three rooms or items from the flashcards, for example: 'I have a living room and a kitchen. My pillow is on my bed.' Ss are ready to talk about possession and position in the house.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the flashcards one by one and asks: 'What is this?' T then asks the guiding questions: 'What rooms are in your house?' and 'Where is your pillow?'

    Students

    Ss look at the flashcards, read the words aloud and listen to the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 1 minute to think and to whisper their answers to a partner. T walks around and helps Ss with the pronunciation of the new words.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs, take turns to answer, for example: 'I have a kitchen. My wardrobe is in my bedroom.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 3–4 pairs to share their answers with the class and gives feedback on the pronunciation.

    Students

    Some Ss report: 'In my house there is a living room, a kitchen and a hall.' Other Ss listen and repeat the words.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the Ss and says: 'Today we will learn how to show whose things they are and where they are in the house.' T writes the title on the board: Possessive 's and prepositions of place.

    Students

    Ss copy the title into their notebooks and get ready for the new lesson.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Possessive 's

a) Aims

Ss understand the form and meaning of possessive 's and distinguish it from 's meaning is.

b) Content

T writes two sentences on the board: 'Nam's room' and 'Nam's tall.' T asks Ss to find the difference. Ss work in groups to complete Phiếu học tập số 1: (1) Look at Nam's room and say who owns the room; (2) Look at Nam's tall and say what 's means here; (3) Rewrite 'the desk of Linh' using possessive 's.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write the rule in their notebooks:

  • Form: owner's name + 's + thing (Nam's room)
  • In 'Nam's room', 's shows possession (Nam owns the room).
  • In 'Nam's tall', 's is the short form of is (Nam is tall).
  • Example: the desk of Linh → Linh's desk. We can also write Linh's desk; this is not Linh is.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes Nam's room and Nam's tall on the board and asks: 'Do these two 's have the same meaning?' T distributes Phiếu học tập số 1 and gives a 2-minute time limit for each group.

    Students

    Ss read the two phrases and listen to the instructions. Groups of four organise their work: one reader, one writer, one checker, one reporter.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors the groups and asks guiding questions: 'Who is the owner in Nam's room?' and 'Can you replace 's with is in Nam's room?'

    Students

    Ss discuss and write the answers on the worksheet. Expected answers: Nam owns the room; 's in Nam's room means possession; 's in Nam's tall means is; the answer is Linh's desk.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks one group to read their answer for each question. T asks the class: 'Do you agree? Why?'

    Students

    Reporter says: 'Nam's room, 's shows that Nam owns the room.' Other groups add: 'Nam's tall, 's is is, because we can say Nam is tall.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the rule and shows the form: Owner + 's + thing. T reminds Ss that if the owner is a singular noun (sister), we add 's: my sister's pillow. T asks Ss to write the rule in their notebooks.

    Students

    Ss write the rule in their notebooks and repeat the example Linh's desk.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Prepositions of place

a) Aims

Ss know the meaning and the use of prepositions of place in, on, under, behind, in front of, next to, between A and B.

b) Content

T shows the room plan diagram and reads the example sentences from the lesson: 'The bedroom is inside the shell.' 'A kitchen is behind a small hall.' 'There is a desk next to the round window.' Ss complete Phiếu học tập số 2 by matching each preposition with its meaning and with a position in the diagram, for example: 'The desk is ___ the round window.'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete the table in their notebooks:

  • in: inside, within a space
  • on: on the surface (touching it)
  • under: below
  • behind: at the back of
  • in front of: at the front of
  • next to: beside, at the side of
  • between A and B: in the middle of two points
    Ss also answer: 'The desk is next to the round window.' and 'The lamp is between the bed and the desk.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the room plan diagram on the projector and asks: 'Where is the bedroom?' T distributes Phiếu học tập số 2.

    Students

    Ss look at the diagram and answer: 'The bedroom is inside the shell' (inside the house).

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs, read the example sentences and match each preposition with its meaning. T reminds Ss that they must read the whole context before choosing the answer.

    Students

    Pairs discuss and fill in the worksheet. Expected answers: in = inside; on = on the surface; under = below; behind = at the back; next to = beside; between A and B = in the middle of two points.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 2–3 pairs to present their answers and point to the position on the diagram. T asks: 'Why is between used with two things?'

    Students

    A pair reports: 'Between means in the middle of two points, for example the lamp is between the bed and the desk.' Other Ss listen and add or correct.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the meanings and says that the choice of preposition depends on the position of the object in the picture. T shows the NeoEdu page for the example and the rule: 'Describe the position clearly; if there is no picture, the sentence must give enough information about the relation between the objects.'

    Students

    Ss write the key words in their notebooks and repeat the meanings after T.

Activity 3: Practice · 12 minutes

Pair check: Choose the correct answer

  2. A – on (the book touches the surface).
  3. C – between (between needs two points: the bed and the desk).
  4. B – My sister's pillow (one sister, so sister's).
  5. A – in (inside means in).
  6. C – behind (at the back = behind).
  7. B – Minh's desk is tidy (desk after 's shows possession; the other two sentences use 's as is).
  8. A – under (below in this context means under).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T projects the eight exercises and explains the task: 'Choose the answer, then explain why the other two options do not fit.' T gives 6 minutes for pairs to work.

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and the exercises. Pairs decide who will answer first.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, checks the answers and asks the pairs with wrong answers: 'Look at the context. Is the thing on the surface or below it?' T encourages Ss to self-correct.

    Students

    Pairs take turns to choose answers and explain. Example: 'Number 3 is C, because between needs two points, the bed and the desk.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on different pairs to give answers to numbers 1–8 and asks the class to vote with thumbs up or down.

    Students

    Pairs report their answers. Class members agree or disagree and give reasons, for example: 'Number 7 is B because 's shows possession in Minh's desk.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T shows the answer key and explains the key points: possessive 's comes after the owner; 's can be is; between needs two points; below means under. T reminds Ss to read the time, the subject and the noun before choosing the answer.

    Students

    Ss check their answers, correct their own mistakes in a different colour and write the key points in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 6 minutes

Describe my room

a) Aims

Ss use possessive 's and prepositions of place to write about a room in a real or imagined house.

Ss write 4–5 sentences about their bedroom or a room in their house. Each paragraph must include at least one possessive 's (for example, my sister's pillow) and at least three prepositions of place (in, on, under, behind, in front of, next to, between). Ss then swap their paragraph with a partner and check the use of 's and prepositions.

c) Expected outcomes

A short paragraph, for example:
'In my bedroom, my sister's pillow is on the bed. The wardrobe is next to the window. The desk is in front of the shelf. There is a lamp between the bed and the desk. The room is small but comfortable.'

    T writes the task on the board and models one example paragraph. T reminds Ss to use at least one possessive 's and three prepositions of place.

    Students

    Ss read the model paragraph and the requirements, then decide which room they will describe.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives 4 minutes for individual writing and then 1 minute for partner checking. T walks around and helps Ss with the spelling of the new words.

    Students

    Ss write their sentences in their notebooks, then swap with a partner and check the use of 's and prepositions.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2–3 Ss to read their paragraphs aloud. T asks the class: 'Is the position clear? Does the sentence show whose thing it is?'

    Students

    Some Ss read: 'My kitchen has a cupboard behind the door.' The class gives feedback on the clarity of the position.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the good sentences and summarises the key points: use the owner's name plus 's before the thing; choose the preposition by looking at the position; give enough information about the relation between objects.

    Students

    Ss revise their paragraphs and keep them in their notebooks as homework reference.
