I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Recall and use the vocabulary of Unit 9: landmark (địa danh tiêu biểu), palace (cung điện), postcard (bưu thiếp), tower (tháp), square (quảng trường), delicious (ngon), friendly (thân thiện), exciting (thú vị, hào hứng).
    • Explain the difference between possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, our, their, its) and possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs).
    • Distinguish its (possessive adjective) from it's (= it is).
    • Get the main idea of a short postcard and retell it in their own words.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss retrieve what they have learned before checking the book, and correct their own mistakes after explaining their choices.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to explain answers, compare choices and share ideas about a city they know.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss classify errors (meaning, word form, word order, missing information) and write a short postcard about a city using the target language.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read a postcard, identify its main idea, retell it in their own words and write a short postcard about a city.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the eight target words correctly, choose the right possessive adjective or pronoun in context, and use its and it's correctly.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all retrieval and practice tasks on time and try to write their own sentences without looking at the answer key first.
  • Responsibility: Ss check their own answers, explain why they chose each option and correct their mistakes independently.
  • Kindness: Ss give constructive feedback to their partners and encourage peers who are not yet confident when speaking.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Lesson plan, projector or board, markers
  • Worksheet 1 (printed for each pair)
  • Flashcards or slides with the eight target words and their pictures
  • NeoEdu learning page for Unit 9 Looking Back: neoedu.vn/learn/6/english/unit-9-looking-back (interactive exercises and examples)

2. Students

  • Student book Tiếng Anh 6 (Global Success), notebook, pencil, eraser
  • A blank sheet of paper for the retrieval task
  • Pencils or markers for the postcard writing task

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Retrieve before checking

a) Aims

Ss recall vocabulary and structures from Unit 9 from memory before looking at the explanations, so that they can identify what they still need to review.

b) Content

Ss cover the memory boxes in their books. They write five words from Unit 9 and one structure they have learned on a blank sheet of paper. Then they answer the quick questions: 'Which word is about a famous building in a city?' and 'Which word means a card you send from a trip?'. After that, Ss uncover the boxes and check. They sort any mistakes into four types: meaning, word form, word order, or missing information.

c) Expected outcomes

  • A list of five words, for example: landmark, palace, postcard, tower, square.
  • One structure, for example: 'This is my postcard.' or 'Its name is Hanoi.'
  • Answers to the quick questions: 'landmark' and 'postcard'.
  • An error log with the four categories: meaning, word form, word order, missing information.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Close your books. Write five words and one sentence pattern from Unit 9 on your paper. You have two minutes.' T writes the four error categories on the board.

    Students

    Ss close their books and write five words and one structure from memory.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks the quick questions: 'Which word is about a famous building in a city?' and 'Which word means a card you send from a trip?'. T walks around and notices which words Ss forget.

    Students

    Ss answer the questions. Possible answers: 'landmark' and 'postcard'. Ss then open their books and check their lists.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Which word did you forget? What type of mistake was it?' T writes two or three examples on the board under the correct categories.

    Students

    Some Ss share: 'I forgot palace. It is a mistake about meaning.' Others say: 'I wrote its is a dog house. It is a mistake about word form.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms that the warm-up is a memory check, not a test. T says: 'Retrieve first, then check. This helps you remember longer.'

    Students

    Ss write the words they missed in their notebooks and mark the error type beside each one.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Reviewing key vocabulary

a) Aims

Ss recall the meaning of the eight target words and use them in a familiar context.

b) Content

T shows pictures or slides of the eight words: landmark, palace, postcard, tower, square, delicious, friendly, exciting. Ss work in pairs. Partner A says the word, Partner B gives its Vietnamese meaning and uses it in one short sentence about a city. Then Ss match the words to the definitions in Worksheet 1, Part A.
T asks: 'What is a landmark in your city? Is there a palace or a tower near your home?'

c) Expected outcomes

Answers to Worksheet 1, Part A:

  • landmark = địa danh tiêu biểu
  • palace = cung điện
  • postcard = bưu thiếp
  • tower = tháp
  • square = quảng trường
  • delicious = ngon
  • friendly = thân thiện
  • exciting = thú vị, hào hứng
    One example sentence per word, for example: 'The Ho Guom area is a famous landmark in Hanoi.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the pictures and says: 'Work in pairs. Say the word, give the meaning, and make one sentence. Then match in Worksheet 1, Part A.'

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and get ready with their partners.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors pairs and helps Ss with pronunciation of landmark, square and exciting. T checks the meaning of each word.

    Students

    Ss practise the words in pairs and complete the matching task. Possible sentence: 'The Ben Thanh Market is a big landmark in Ho Chi Minh City.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on four pairs to read one sentence each. T asks the class: 'Do you agree with the meaning?'

    Students

    Pairs read their sentences. Other Ss agree or correct the meaning, for example: 'Square is quảng trường, not tháp.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the eight words and their meanings, and corrects pronunciation. T says: 'Use the word in a sentence to remember it better.'

    Students

    Ss copy the correct matches into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns and its or it's

a) Aims

Ss explain the rule for possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns, and distinguish its from it's.

b) Content

T writes on the board: 'my postcard, your city, his bag, her map, our room, their tickets' and 'mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs'. T asks: 'Which words are followed by a noun? Which words stand alone?' Then T writes 'its' and 'it's' and asks Ss to explain the difference. Ss complete Worksheet 1, Part B, using the rule: a possessive adjective is followed by a noun, a possessive pronoun stands alone, its is possessive, it's means it is.

c) Expected outcomes

Rules Ss write in their notebooks:

  • Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, our, their, its) are followed by a noun: my postcard.
  • Possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) stand alone: That postcard is mine.
  • its = possessive adjective (its name); it's = it is (It's a big city).
  • Ss do not use its alone as a possessive pronoun in this unit.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the phrases on the board and asks: 'Which word comes before a noun? Which word can stand alone?'

    Students

    Ss look at the board and think about the questions for one minute.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Worksheet 1, Part B. T asks Ss to underline the noun after each possessive adjective and circle the possessive pronouns.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs. Possible answer: 'This is our room.' (adjective) and 'The room is ours.' (pronoun).

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Why is it its in the sentence The dog is in its house, not it's?' and 'Why do we say ours and not our for We have a map?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'its is possessive, it's means it is' and 'ours stands alone, our needs a noun.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the two rules and writes the key contrast on the board: its house (possessive) vs it's big (it is). T says: 'Check the position first: before a noun or alone?'

    Students

    Ss copy the rules into their notebooks and write one example sentence for each form.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 9 minutes

Choosing the correct answer in context

a) Aims

Ss choose the correct option in context and explain their choice, and correct mistakes with reference to the context.

b) Content

Ss do Exercises 1 to 8 from the lesson. For each question, Ss choose the answer and explain why, then correct any wrong answer. Ss work in pairs: one reads the question aloud, the other explains the choice.

  5. B. your. Postcard needs a possessive adjective before the noun.
  6. A. its. It is a possessive adjective before house; it's means it is.
  7. C. This camera is his. His can be a possessive pronoun.
  8. B. ours. Mai and me includes the speaker, so we use ours.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Do Exercises 1 to 8 in Worksheet 1, Part C. Choose the answer, then explain why. Use the context, not only the meaning.'

    Students

    Ss read the eight questions and prepare to explain their choices.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, listens to pairs, and asks: 'Why is it not C in Exercise 5?' or 'What does the context tell you?' T may use the NeoEdu page for extra interactive items if time allows.

    Students

    Pairs complete the exercises. Example reasoning: 'In Exercise 6, house is a noun, so we need its, not it's.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on five Ss to give their answers and reasons. T asks the class: 'Do you agree? Can you correct the answer?'

    Students

    Ss give answers, for example: 'Exercise 8 is ours because Mai and me means we.' Other Ss agree or correct.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T reveals the key answers and reminds Ss to check the word type, the word order, and whether information is missing.

    Students

    Ss mark their own answers and correct any mistakes in a different colour pen.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 7 minutes

Reading a postcard for the main idea

a) Aims

Ss read a short postcard, identify its main idea and answer a detail question.

b) Content

Ss read the postcard in Exercise 9 silently. Then they answer the questions: 'What is the main idea of the postcard?' and 'Who receives the postcard?' (Exercise 10). Finally, Ss retell the postcard in their own words in two or three sentences, without copying the text.
Postcard text (Exercise 9): Dear Grandma, We are in Da Nang for a short family visit. Our hotel is near the river. Yesterday, we walked across a bridge and watched boats from the bank. This morning, we visited a museum. I liked the old objects because they helped me imagine life in the past. The streets around our hotel are busy, but the staff are friendly. Dad has a blue camera. Mine is smaller and black. We will go to the beach tomorrow if the weather is good. I am sending you this postcard because I want to share a happy memory. Love, An.
Question 10: Who receives the postcard? A. A teacher; B. A cousin; C. Grandma

c) Expected outcomes

  • Main idea: An and her family are visiting Da Nang and sharing happy memories of their trip.
  • Answer to Exercise 10: C. Grandma (the postcard begins with Dear Grandma).
  • A retelling in Ss' own words, for example: 'An is writing to Grandma from Da Nang. Her family stays near the river, visits a museum and enjoys the friendly staff. They will go to the beach tomorrow.'
  • Ss identify the possessive forms in the text: our hotel, my camera, mine, Dad's camera.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Read the postcard once for the main idea. Then answer question 10 and retell the text in two or three sentences.'

    Students

    Ss read the postcard silently and look for the main idea.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T checks understanding of words in context: museum, staff, memory. T asks Ss to underline the possessive words in the text.

    Students

    Ss underline our, my, mine, Dad's. Ss work in pairs to retell the text.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on two pairs to read their retelling. T asks: 'Which sentence in the postcard is the main idea?'

    Students

    Pairs read their retellings. Possible main idea: 'An is sharing a happy trip with Grandma.' Ss answer: 'C. Grandma.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the main idea and explains why the retelling should not copy the text word by word. T says: 'Retell the main points in your own words.'

    Students

    Ss write the corrected retelling in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 8 minutes

Writing my own postcard

a) Aims

Ss write a short postcard about a city using possessive adjectives, possessive pronouns and the target vocabulary, and self-check their work.

b) Content

Ss imagine they are visiting a city in Viet Nam or another country. They write a short postcard of about five sentences to a friend or grandparent. The postcard must include at least three target words from Unit 9 (for example landmark, tower, square, delicious, friendly, exciting) and at least one possessive adjective and one possessive pronoun, and one use of its or it's. After writing, Ss swap their postcards with a partner and check the possessives and the spelling of its and it's.

c) Expected outcomes

A short postcard of about five sentences. Example: 'Dear Mai, I am in Hue now. The Imperial Palace is a famous landmark. Our hotel is near the river. The food is delicious and the people are friendly. Its streets are exciting at night. Love, Lan.'
Self-check checklist: my/your/his/her/our/their with a noun; mine/yours/ours/theirs without a noun; its (possessive) or it's (it is).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Write a short postcard about a city you know or want to visit. Use at least three new words, one possessive adjective, one possessive pronoun, and its or it's.' T shows the example postcard on the board.

    Students

    Ss read the example and choose a city and a receiver for their postcard.

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss five minutes to write and monitors. T prompts: 'Check: is there a noun after your possessive adjective?'

    Students

    Ss write their postcards. Possible sentence: 'Its streets are very busy and exciting.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks four Ss to read their postcards aloud. T asks the class to find one possessive pronoun and one its or it's in each postcard.

    Students

    Ss read aloud. Listeners answer: 'The word ours is a possessive pronoun in this sentence.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good use of the target language and corrects common errors on the board, such as 'it's street' for 'its street'. T says: 'Check the position of the possessive and the difference between its and it's before you finish.'

    Students

    Ss self-correct their postcards and swap with a partner to check one more time.
