I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • identify the main topic of a short text about a class trip to Phu Quoc Island.
  • find details in the reading that answer questions, and give evidence for each answer.
  • use the topic words waterfall, island, cave, desert, suncream, plaster, backpack and scissors in context.
  • retell a text in their own words, using key words from their notes.
  • separate what the text says from their own ideas or experiences.

2. Competences

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the word cards and asks: "Which of these places have you visited? What do you need when you go on a trip?"

    Students

    Ss look at the cards and listen to the question.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 1 minute to think, then asks them to work in pairs and name the items they would take on a trip.

    Students

    Ss discuss in pairs. Expected answer: "We need a backpack, suncream and water."

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 pairs to share their answers and writes the new words on the board.

    Students

    Representatives say their answers. Other Ss repeat the words after T.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the good ideas and says: "Today we will read about a class trip to Phu Quoc Island and find out how to enjoy nature safely."

    Students

    Ss write the title of the lesson in their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Reading for Gist and Details

a) Aims

Ss read the text to find the main topic and the details, and learn to match each question with one sentence of evidence.

b) Content

Step 1: Ss skim the text quickly to find the topic. Step 2: Ss read again and find the sentence that answers each question. Questions: 1) Where is Phu Quoc? 2) What do students carry? 3) What must students NOT do? 4) Where do they go after lunch? 5) What makes the trip enjoyable? Ss complete Worksheet 1.
Text: Phu Quoc is an island in the south of Viet Nam. Visitors can enjoy beaches, forests and local food. On our imagined class trip, we explore a beach with a local guide in the morning. We carry some water, suncream and hats. We do not pick up living sea animals or leave plastic bags. After lunch, we visit a small forest path. The guide explains why trees and clean water are important. We must stay on the path and speak quietly near animals. The trip is enjoyable because we learn about nature, not only take photographs.

c) Expected outcomes

Topic: a class trip to Phu Quoc Island, where students enjoy nature and protect it.
Evidence for each question:

  • Where is Phu Quoc? → "Phu Quoc is an island in the south of Viet Nam."
  • What do students carry? → "We carry some water, suncream and hats."
  • What must students NOT do? → "We do not pick up living sea animals or leave plastic bags."
  • Where do they go after lunch? → "After lunch, we visit a small forest path."
  • What makes the trip enjoyable? → "We learn about nature, not only take photographs."
    Key idea: Ss can explain that a sentence in the text is evidence, not only a guess.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: "Skim the text in 1 minute to find the topic. Then read again and find one sentence that proves each answer." T shows Worksheet 1 on the board.

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and prepare to skim the text.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work in pairs. T walks around, checks reading and helps Ss who are stuck with words such as guide, enjoyable and protect. T asks: "What is the topic of the text?"

    Students

    Ss skim and scan the text, then write the evidence on Worksheet 1. Expected answer for the topic: "A class trip to Phu Quoc Island."

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 3 pairs to read out their answers and the evidence sentence. T asks: "Why is this sentence the evidence?"

    Students

    Ss read the evidence aloud. Expected explanation: "The sentence answers the question directly."

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and shows how to match a question with a sentence: find key words in the question, then scan the text for the same or similar words. T reminds Ss to separate what the author says from their own opinion.

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and copy the scanning tip into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Speaking from Key-word Notes

a) Aims

Ss learn to take short key-word notes from the text and use them to retell the main ideas in their own words.

b) Content

T models a note-taking page with key words only, not full sentences. Example notes:
Topic: Phu Quoc trip
Detail 1: beach, guide, water, suncream, hats
Detail 2: forest path, trees, clean water
Opinion + reason: trip enjoyable – learn about nature
Ss use the notes to speak in three parts: the topic, two important details, and one opinion with a reason. When Ss compare the text with their own lives, they say clearly: "In my opinion..." or "In my life...".

c) Expected outcomes

Ss produce a short retelling of 3 to 4 sentences, for example:

  • The text is about a class trip to Phu Quoc Island.
  • Students carry water, suncream and hats, and they stay on the forest path.
  • I think the trip is good because students learn about nature.
    Ss can explain why they chose each key word for their notes.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the model notes on the board and says: "Write only key words. Do not copy whole sentences. Use the notes to speak in three parts."

    Students

    Ss read the model notes and copy the format into their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to write their own notes in 2 minutes, then practise speaking with a partner. T monitors and checks the use of key words.

    Students

    Ss write their notes and practise. Expected sentence: "The text is about a trip to Phu Quoc. Students carry water and suncream. The trip is enjoyable because they learn about nature."

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2 Ss to speak from their notes in front of the class. T asks the class: "Is this information from the text or from the speaker's life?"

    Students

    Volunteers speak. Other Ss answer: "It is from the text" or "It is the speaker's opinion."

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the three-part structure (topic, two details, opinion with a reason) and writes the key phrase on the board: "In my opinion... because...". T reminds Ss that personal information must be clearly marked.

    Students

    Ss write the key phrase in their notebooks and check their notes.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Answering Reading Questions with Evidence

a) Aims

Ss use the text to answer multiple-choice and short-answer questions, and check their answers with the evidence in the text.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answer key and reminds Ss that a good answer needs evidence from the text. T gives feedback on the short answers and explains the scoring.

    Students

    Ss correct their mistakes in a different colour pen and write the correct evidence beside each answer.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Sharing Ideas to Protect Nature

a) Aims

Ss give an idea from the text about protecting nature, support it with a detail from the text, and compare the trip with their own lives.

b) Content

Task 1: Ss answer: "What useful idea can you take from this text? Give one detail as evidence."
Task 2: Ss work in pairs. Each student tells a partner about the text using key-word notes, then compares one detail with their own life. Ss say clearly which information is from the text and which is their own.
Homework option: Ss write 4 to 5 sentences about a natural place they have visited, using the three-part structure.

c) Expected outcomes

Sample answer for Task 1:
"A useful idea is that we should protect nature when we travel. The students do not pick up living sea animals or leave plastic bags, so the beach stays clean."
Sample answer for Task 2:
"The text is about a class trip to Phu Quoc. Students explore a beach and a forest path with a guide. They protect sea animals and do not leave rubbish. In my life, I also carry water when I walk outdoors, but I have not visited this island."
