I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to identify the main topic of a text about Tet and find specific details to answer questions.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to match each question with a supporting sentence from the text and explain their choice.
  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to use the given vocabulary (decorate, celebrate, relative, lucky money, peach flower, apricot flower, wish, gather) to summarise a text from keywords.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text on their own first, check their answers against the text, and correct their own mistakes by using the context.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to discuss answers, share evidence, and report their findings to the class.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide which sentence supports each answer, give reasons for their choices, and personalise the talk by comparing the text with their own Tet experience.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read for gist and details, then speak from keyword notes in three parts (topic, two key details, one opinion with a reason).
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce and use the eight new words correctly and recognise the simple present tense used to describe Tet customs.

3. Personal qualities

  • Kindness: Ss show care for family and relatives by talking about polite wishes and respect in Tet customs.
  • Honesty: Ss clearly separate what the writer says in the text from their own opinions and personal information.

1. Teacher

  • Projector, slides with photos of Tet activities (cleaning the house, flowers, family dinner, lucky money, visiting relatives)
  • Flashcards of the eight new words with pictures
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • Worksheet No. 1 and Worksheet No. 2 (printed, one set per pair)
  • NeoEdu online lesson page: neoedu.vn/learn/6/english/unit-6-skills-1 (lesson presentation, examples and interactive exercises)

  • Small sticky notes or slips of paper for matching activities

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Tet at home

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about Tet customs and get interested in the topic of the lesson.

b) Content

Ss look at photos of Tet activities on the screen and answer two questions:

  • What do families do before Tet?
  • What do children usually receive on Tet?
    Ss list three to four Tet activities in English.

c) Expected outcomes

A list on the board of Tet activities in English, for example: clean the house, decorate the living room with flowers, have a family dinner, visit relatives, receive lucky money.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the photos and asks: 'What do you see in these pictures?' T then asks the two guiding questions.

    Students

    Ss look at the photos and listen to the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 1 minute to think, then asks them to discuss the questions with a partner.

    Students

    Ss discuss in pairs and use simple English, such as 'We clean the house' or 'We get lucky money'.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites some pairs to share their answers and writes the keywords on the board.

    Students

    Expected answers: 'Families clean the house and buy flowers.' 'Children get lucky money.' 'We visit grandparents and wish them good health.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises the answers and says: 'Today we will read about how Minh's family celebrates Tet.' T writes the title 'Our Tet holiday' on the board.

    Students

    Ss copy the title into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Presenting new vocabulary

a) Aims

Ss pronounce and understand the meaning and use of eight new words related to Tet.

b) Content

T presents the words: decorate (trang trí), celebrate (ăn mừng, đón lễ), relative (họ hàng), lucky money (tiền mừng tuổi), peach flower (hoa đào), apricot flower (hoa mai), wish (lời chúc, điều ước), gather (sum họp).
Ss match each word with its picture and Vietnamese meaning, then complete one example sentence for each word.

c) Expected outcomes

A vocabulary table in Ss' notebooks with three columns: word, meaning, example sentence. Sample sentences:

  • We decorate the living room with flowers.
  • Vietnamese families celebrate Tet together.
  • I visit my relatives during Tet.
  • Children receive lucky money.
  • Peach flowers and apricot flowers are popular at Tet.
  • I make a wish for good health.
  • Families gather for dinner on the last day of the year.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the flashcards and says: 'Look at the picture and listen to the word. Then match the word with its meaning.'

    Students

    Ss look at the flashcards and try to guess the meaning of each word from the picture.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T models the pronunciation, Ss repeat chorally and individually. Then Ss work in pairs: one says the word, the other gives the Vietnamese meaning. Ss write the example sentences.

    Students

    Ss repeat the words, practise the pairwork game and complete their vocabulary table.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on some Ss to read their example sentences aloud and checks the stress and pronunciation.

    Students

    Ss read their sentences, for example: 'We decorate the living room with flowers.' The class listens and corrects any mistakes.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the meanings and uses of the words. T reminds Ss that 'lucky money' is a fixed phrase, and 'relative' means a member of the family in this context.

    Students

    Ss check their tables and correct any mistakes.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 9 minutes

Reading for gist and details

a) Aims

Ss read the text for the main idea and specific details, find evidence for each answer, and separate the writer's ideas from their own ideas.

b) Content

Step 1 (skimming): Ss read the text quickly and find the main topic.
Step 2 (scanning): Ss read again and match each question on Worksheet No. 1 with one supporting sentence from the text.
Questions on Worksheet No. 1:

  • Who checks the lights?
  • What does Minh clean?
  • When do they share dinner?
  • What does lucky money represent?
  • What does Minh make time for?
    Step 3: Ss decide which statements are what the writer says and which are their own opinions, for example: 'Care and respect are important in every home.'

c) Expected outcomes

Main topic: Minh's family celebrates Tet with care and respect.
Matching key (Worksheet No. 1):

  • Who checks the lights? → 'His father checks the lights.'
  • What does Minh clean? → 'Minh wipes the bookshelves.'
  • When do they share dinner? → 'On the last evening of the old year, the family shares dinner.'
  • What does lucky money represent? → 'Lucky money is a wish for good things, not a competition between children.'
  • What does Minh make time for? → 'He also keeps some time for reading.'
    Writer's ideas: the family cleans, decorates and shares dinner; lucky money is a wish; care and respect are important. Ss' own ideas must be labelled as 'my opinion'.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives Worksheet No. 1 to each pair and sets a 1-minute time limit for skimming: 'What is the text about?'

    Students

    Ss read the text quickly and find the topic.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to read again and underline the evidence for each question. T walks around and helps pairs who get stuck.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs, underline the evidence and write the matching letter or sentence on the worksheet. Some Ss may say: 'Minh wipes the bookshelves' is the answer to 'What does Minh clean?'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on pairs to read their evidence sentences aloud. T asks: 'Is this what the writer says, or what you think?'

    Students

    Expected answer: 'This is what the writer says, because the text says it.' For the final sentence about care and respect, Ss say: 'This is the writer's idea.' Some Ss may say: 'I think care is more important than money.' and T labels this as personal opinion.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the matching key and explains: 'Gist is the main idea. Details are the facts that support it. Always find the evidence sentence before you answer.' T writes on the board: 'The writer says... / In my opinion...'

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and copy the two sentence frames into their notebooks.

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 7 minutes

Speaking from notes

a) Aims

Ss learn to summarise a text in their own words by using keywords and talk about the topic in three parts.

b) Content

T models how to make notes from the text. Ss write only keywords, not full sentences, and then use the keywords to speak in three parts:

  1. Topic
  2. Two important details
  3. One opinion with a reason
    Model notes on Worksheet No. 2:
  • Topic: Minh's Tet
  • Detail 1: clean house, decorate, dinner
  • Detail 2: lucky money = wish
  • Opinion: care, respect; reason: family is important

c) Expected outcomes

A short spoken summary in three parts, for example:
'The text is about Minh's Tet holiday. Before Tet, his family cleans the house together, and his grandmother says lucky money is a wish for good things. In my opinion, care and respect are important, because family is the most important thing in Tet.'
In this summary, the phrase 'In my opinion' shows the Ss' own idea, while 'the text is about' shows the writer's content.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the keyword notes on the board and asks Ss to copy them into Worksheet No. 2. T says: 'Use keywords only. Do not copy whole sentences.'

    Students

    Ss copy the keyword notes and look at the three-part structure.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to use their own keywords to prepare a 30-second talk. T allows Ss to read their notes but encourages them to look up.

    Students

    Ss practise speaking in pairs, one speaks and the other listens and checks the three parts.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two or three pairs to speak to the class. T gives feedback on the three parts and the use of 'In my opinion'.

    Students

    Ss speak to the class. Expected answer: 'The text is about Tet in Minh's family. They clean the house and share dinner. In my opinion, lucky money is a wish, because I think it shows love.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T sums up: 'Notes help you remember. Your summary should have a topic, two details and your opinion with a reason. Tell the class which part is your own information.'

    Students

    Ss write the three-part structure in their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 7 minutes

Checking comprehension

a) Aims

Ss answer the comprehension questions 2 to 7 and find the evidence in the text to support each answer.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T reads the questions aloud and asks Ss to answer individually, then check with the text.

    Students

    Ss read questions 2 to 7 silently and answer on their own.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to exchange answers with a partner. T monitors and asks Ss to show the evidence in the text.

    Students

    Ss check each other's answers and point to the evidence sentence in the text.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to give answers and read the evidence sentence aloud. T asks: 'Why is B not correct for question 6?'

    Students

    Expected answer: 'B is not correct, because the text does not say lucky money is for homework.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answer key and reminds Ss to correct their mistakes by going back to the text.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and write any wrong answers in their notebooks with the correct answer.

Activity 4: Application · 9 minutes

Sharing our Tet with a partner

a) Aims

Ss use the text and their notes to talk about the main idea and compare one detail with their own life.

b) Content

Ss answer questions 8 and 9:
8. What useful idea can you take from this text? Give one detail as evidence.
9. Tell a partner about the text, then compare one detail with your own life.
Ss use the keyword notes from Worksheet No. 2 and make clear which part is the writer's information and which is their own information.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer 8 (sample): 'Care and respect are more important than money. For example, Minh's grandmother says lucky money is a wish for good things, not a competition.'
Answer 9 (sample): 'The text is about Minh's Tet. His family cleans the house, decorates it with flowers and shares dinner. In my family, we also clean the house before Tet, but we visit our grandparents on the first day.'
Grading: each answer has 2 points, 1 point for a correct idea and evidence, and 1 point for a clear comparison.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the two questions on the board and says: 'Use your notes. Remember to say what is in the text and what is your own information.'

    Students

    Ss read the two questions and look at their notes.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to talk in pairs. T circulates and helps Ss with sentence frames: 'In the text, ...' and 'In my family, ...'.

    Students

    Ss take turns to tell their partner about the text and compare one detail with their own life.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two or three Ss to share their comparison with the class and gives feedback on the clarity of the comparison.

    Students

    Ss share, for example: 'In my family, we decorate the house with peach flowers. In the text, the family decorates the living room with flowers.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises Ss for using notes and evidence. T summarises the key message: 'Tet is about care and respect for family. Good readers find evidence, and good speakers use notes.'

    Students

    Ss write the key message in their notebooks.
