I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Name and describe hobbies using the target language (e.g. gardening, collecting stamps, making models).
    • Use the structure 'I enjoy + V-ing because + clause' to give reasons for a hobby.
    • Explain the components of a hobby poster: one easy-to-start hobby, materials, steps, two realistic benefits, an original drawing and a persuasive closing.
    • Apply safe and ethical ways to gather information, including asking permission before using others' details.
    • Evaluate a completed product against the project question and the teacher rubric.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss plan their work, check their own drafts against the checklist and set one realistic improvement for their poster.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss share roles in a team of four, present their poster to classmates, ask and answer questions, and respond to feedback respectfully.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss choose an original hobby, design a simple drawing and write their own captions and benefits instead of copying sample texts.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read the project brief, talk about hobbies in pairs, write a short poster with original captions and deliver a short oral presentation with a persuasive closing.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use hobby vocabulary correctly, use the present simple for habits (e.g. Mai makes small boats every Sunday), pronounce the -ing ending clearly in 'enjoy + V-ing', and check subject-verb agreement in their drafts.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss divide roles fairly, complete their assigned part on time and check their own safety when they make or test a product.
  • Honesty: Ss record the real source of each fact and do not claim an invented design is an existing product.
  • Kindness: Ss respect classmates' different interests and give constructive feedback without criticising people.
  • Diligence: Ss revise their poster at least once after feedback and explain the change they made.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Photos of hobbies (gardening, stamp collecting, paper model making, cycling, painting)
  • Project brief and teacher rubric (10 points) displayed on screen
  • Sample model poster (teacher-written, 'Make paper models')
  • Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (printed for each team)
  • Digital learning resource on NeoEdu: neoedu.vn/learn/7/english/unit-1-project (lesson notes, examples and interactive exercises)
  • Timer and markers

2. Students

  • Student's book, notebook and pen
  • A3 or A4 poster paper, colored pens, pencils, ruler, glue and scissors
  • Reused clean card or paper for model-making (if the hobby needs materials)
  • Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (completed in class)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 8 minutes

Hobby talk and project launch

a) Aims

Ss activate vocabulary about hobbies and understand the final product they will create.

b) Content

T shows four photos of hobbies and asks: What do you enjoy doing? Ss answer in pairs, for example: I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow. Then T shows the project brief: Create a hobby poster for teenagers. Choose one easy-to-start hobby, explain materials, steps and two realistic benefits, illustrate it with your own drawing, then persuade classmates to try it.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss name at least three hobbies with one reason each (e.g. I enjoy painting because it helps me relax.). Ss can state the final product: a hobby poster for teenagers with materials, steps, two benefits, an original drawing and a persuasive closing.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows four photos and asks: What do you enjoy doing? T then displays the project brief and says: Today you will create a hobby poster for teenagers.

    Students

    Ss look at the photos and listen to the question and the task.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 2 minutes to discuss in pairs and monitors, helping with vocabulary such as gardening, collecting, painting, making models.

    Students

    Pairs take turns asking and answering. Expected answer: I enjoy collecting stamps because I can learn about different countries.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 pairs to share and writes the hobby words on the board.

    Students

    Ss report: We enjoy cycling because it keeps us healthy. The class listens and repeats the key words.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the project components and states the final goal: a poster that answers the question Which easy hobby can teenagers start, and why should they try it?

    Students

    Ss note the task in their notebooks and say: Our poster will be about ...

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Understanding the brief and key language

a) Aims

Ss identify the parts of a hobby poster and use the target language and sentence structure to describe a hobby.

b) Content

Ss read the brief and complete the checklist in Worksheet 1. Then Ss study the useful language: What do you enjoy doing? / I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow. Ss notice the structure enjoy + V-ing and because + clause, and the pronunciation of the -ing ending.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with the six poster components: 1) one easy-to-start hobby; 2) materials; 3) steps; 4) two realistic benefits; 5) an original drawing; 6) a persuasive closing. Key structure: I enjoy + V-ing because + clause. Example: I enjoy collecting stamps because I can learn about other countries.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet 1 and asks Ss to read the brief, then tick the six components they must include. T writes the target sentence on the board and asks: What is the structure after enjoy?

    Students

    Ss read the brief individually and identify the components. Expected answer: enjoy + V-ing, e.g. enjoy gardening.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T models the pronunciation of the key sentence, then asks Ss to repeat chorally and individually. T monitors while Ss complete the checklist.

    Students

    Ss repeat the model sentence, pay attention to the -ing ending, and complete the checklist in pairs.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: Why is a benefit realistic? Why should we avoid claiming a benefit we cannot support?

    Students

    Expected answer: A realistic benefit can be checked, e.g. Gardening helps me relax after school. Ss share their checklists with the class.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the six components and writes the structure I enjoy + V-ing because + clause on the board. T reminds Ss that the poster must use their own words.

    Students

    Ss correct their checklists and copy the structure into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 15 minutes

Planning the team project and gathering information safely

a) Aims

Ss plan roles, materials and a safe way to collect information for the poster.

b) Content

Ss work in teams of four with four roles: leader, researcher, designer and writer. Ss choose one easy hobby and complete Worksheet 2. Ss discuss safe ways to collect information: observing real activities, using reliable books or teacher-approved websites, and asking an adult for help when a hobby needs tools. If Ss want to use a classmate's answer or photo, they must ask permission and keep only necessary anonymous details.

c) Expected outcomes

Each team completes Worksheet 2 with: hobby chosen (e.g. making paper boats); roles and tasks; materials list (e.g. reused clean card, glue, ruler); three steps; two realistic benefits; one source list and a safety note (e.g. an adult checks cutting tools). Rule: Ask permission before using any classmate's details; keep only anonymous information.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T divides the class into teams of four, gives each member a role, and distributes Worksheet 2. T explains: Our fact sources must be real; we do not copy another group's results.

    Students

    Ss accept roles and read the planning questions on Worksheet 2.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks guiding questions: Which hobby is easy to start at home? How will you collect information safely? Who will check the cutting tools?

    Students

    Teams discuss and choose one hobby. Expected answer: Making paper boats; the researcher collects steps from a reliable source; the adult checks any cutting.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites one team to read its plan aloud and asks the class: Is the information safe and realistic? Is the source clear?

    Students

    Team leader reports the plan. Other teams give feedback, e.g. You should add a source for the benefit about patience.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the safe information method: observe, use reliable sources, record sources, ask permission before using personal details, and get adult help for tools. T praises fair roles.

    Students

    Ss revise their plans, record the source list and the safety note on Worksheet 2.

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 15 minutes

Modelling and drafting an original poster

a) Aims

Ss analyse a model poster and draft their own original captions and benefit.

b) Content

T models a short poster about making paper models: the hobby, materials, steps, one benefit, one drawing and one persuasive line. Ss identify each part and then draft one original caption and one realistic benefit for their own hobby. Example model: Making paper models builds patience and careful measuring. Start with one small design rather than buying expensive kits.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss identify five parts of the model poster: hobby, materials, steps, benefit and persuasive line. Ss draft one original caption and one realistic benefit, e.g. Gardening helps me relax after school. Ss also note one drawing idea from their own design, e.g. a finished boat and the materials.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the model poster on the screen and asks: What is the hobby? What materials are needed? Which benefit is realistic?

    Students

    Ss read the model and answer. Expected answer: The hobby is making paper models; the materials are reused clean card, glue and a ruler; the benefit is building patience.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to write one caption and one benefit in their notebooks. T walks around and checks sentence structure, especially the verb after enjoy and the present simple for habits (e.g. Mai makes small boats every Sunday).

    Students

    Ss write individually, then compare with their teammate. Expected sentence: Making paper boats helps me practise patience.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 Ss to read their captions aloud and asks the class: Is the benefit realistic? Can we check it?

    Students

    Ss read their captions. Class responds, e.g. Yes, we can check it because we tried making a boat.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms that captions must be original, specific and supported by the product. T reminds Ss not to invent impressive claims.

    Students

    Ss revise their captions and keep them for the final poster.

Activity 3: Practice · 15 minutes

Checking the project question and evidence

a) Aims

Ss check the project question, the audience and the right use of personal information.

b) Content

Ss do Exercise 1 (choose the project output that matches the unit) and Exercise 2 (choose how another person's private information should be used). Then Ss write one clear project question with its audience, for example: Create a hobby poster for teenagers and state the question the poster answers.

c) Expected outcomes

Exercise 1: A. Create a hobby poster for teenagers. Choose one easy-to-start hobby, explain materials, steps and two realistic benefits, illustrate it with your own drawing, then persuade classmates to try it. (The first option includes the unit's specific product, content and audience; the others do not complete the project.)
Exercise 2: B. Ask permission and keep only necessary anonymous details. (Consent and data minimisation protect participants.)
Exercise 3 sample question: Which easy hobby can teenagers start at home with little money? Audience: teenagers. The question focuses on hobbies and states what teenagers should learn.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T reads Exercise 1 and Exercise 2 aloud and gives Ss 3 minutes to choose the answers individually.

    Students

    Ss choose the answers in their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to write one project question for their own poster, naming the audience. T monitors and checks that the question is about hobbies and feasible.

    Students

    Ss work in teams to write one question, e.g. Which easy hobby can teenagers start at home? Audience: teenagers.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites teams to read their answers and questions. T asks: Why is B correct? Why is the question clear?

    Students

    Expected answer: B is correct because consent protects people and we only keep anonymous details. The question is clear because it names the hobby and audience.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers A and B, and reminds Ss that a correct keyword does not make an irrelevant answer correct; the answer must match the whole context.

    Students

    Ss correct their answers and add the final project question to their posters.

Activity 4: Application · 25 minutes

Presenting the poster and responding to feedback

a) Aims

Ss present a complete poster, answer a classmate's question with evidence and evaluate their product (Period 2).

b) Content

Each team finishes its poster with an original drawing and captions, then presents it in about two minutes. The presentation introduces the topic and audience, explains one concrete design decision, gives a reason and invites one question. After the presentation, Ss answer one question from a classmate and evaluate the product using the teacher rubric: task completion, accurate language, evidence and teamwork.

c) Expected outcomes

Each team delivers a short presentation with an introduction, one specific detail from the product, one reason and an invitation to ask. Ss record one question and a reasoned answer, and note one real revision. Self-evaluation: one specific strength, one feasible improvement and a short description of roles shared fairly.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T reminds Ss of the rubric (completed relevant product 4, accurate evidence 2, clear English 2, fair teamwork and revision 2) and gives teams 8 minutes to finish their posters.

    Students

    Teams finish their posters, check captions and language, and rehearse their short presentations.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T invites teams to present in turn and asks each presenter to answer one classmate's question, then monitors the feedback forms.

    Students

    Teams present. Expected question: Why did you choose this hobby? Expected answer: Because it is cheap and we can check the benefit by trying it ourselves.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks each team to share one revision they made after feedback, and asks: Did all members share the work fairly?

    Students

    Ss report, e.g. We added the adult safety note after the question about tools. All members drew, wrote and presented.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T gives feedback on language and evidence, praises the best poster for specific detail, and states the improvement needed. T asks Ss to complete a self-evaluation.

    Students

    Ss complete the self-evaluation: strength, one improvement and roles shared. They submit their posters to the teacher.
