identify the main activity, purpose, person, place and time in a text about a hobby.
locate the sentence that supports an answer when scanning a reading text.
explain an important contrast or limitation in the text in their own words.
use the present simple for a repeated habit (e.g., Linh makes paper boats every Friday).

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text individually first, underline supporting sentences and check their own answers against the text before discussing.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to scan the text, discuss whether they would make the same choice as Linh, and share their opinions with a detail.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss explain the contrast between the sunk boat and the tray test, and give a reasoned opinion with evidence from the text.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read a text on a hobby for main ideas and supported details, speak about an opinion with a detail, and write a 35–50-word summary.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the six target words (gardening, collect, model, creative, patient, hobby) and the present simple form 'makes' for a habit.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss complete each reading task carefully and locate the exact sentence that supports each answer.
Responsibility: Ss take turns in pair work, check their partner's answers honestly and complete their own summary on time.

Reading for the Main Message

a) Aims

Ss identify the main activity, purpose, person, place and time in the text, and locate the sentence that supports each answer.

Ss read the text about Linh without stopping at each new word. Then they scan for who, where and when, and find the exact sentence that supports each answer. Vocabulary to present first: hobby (sở thích), collect (sưu tầm), model (mô hình), creative (sáng tạo), patient (kiên nhẫn), gardening (làm vườn). Text: 'Linh makes paper boats at the school hobby club on Friday afternoons. Linh does this because she wants to reuse old paper. Her first boat sank, so she changed the folds.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Reading Deeply and Speaking

a) Aims

Ss explain the important contrast in the text (the sunk boat and the tray test), recognise the limitation that prevents an overgeneralisation, and support an opinion with a detail.

b) Content

Ss reread: 'Her first boat sank, so she changed the folds. Now she tests each boat in a small tray, not in the river. She keeps a notebook of useful changes.' T asks: 1) What is the contrast between the first boat and the later test? 2) Why does the tray test not show everything about a river? 3) Would you make the same choice as Linh? Give one detail to support your opinion, not only 'It is good.' Language focus: 'Linh makes paper boats every Friday' (present simple, third person singular with -s for a repeated habit), e.g., 'Mai makes small boats every Sunday.'

c) Expected outcomes

Contrast: the first boat sank in the river-type test, so Linh changed the folds and now tests in a small tray.
Limitation: the tray test is small and controlled, so it does not prove how a boat behaves in a real river; the text does not say more than this.
Sample opinion: 'I would make the same choice because testing in a tray is safer and cheaper, and I can keep a notebook of changes to learn from mistakes.'
Grammar: Linh makes (not make) paper boats because she is singular and the action is a habit.

d) Organisation

Teacher's activities

Students' activities

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T writes the three questions on the board and models a short opinion: 'I think Linh is careful because she tests in a tray. I would do the same because it is safe.'
Students
Ss read the questions and listen to the model. Ss note the structure: opinion + reason + detail.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T asks Ss to work in pairs, answer the questions in their own words and discuss whether they would make the same choice. T reminds Ss to use a detail from the text.
Students
Ss discuss in pairs. Expected answer: 'The boat sank, so she changed it. The tray test is safer, but it is not the same as the river.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T invites 2–3 Ss to share their opinions and asks the class: 'Does this detail really support the opinion?'
Students
Ss share opinions. Expected answer: 'I would do the same because testing in a tray saves paper and time.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T summarises the contrast and the limitation, and writes on the board: 'Linh makes paper boats every Friday. Mai makes small boats every Sunday.' T highlights the -s form for singular subjects in habits.
Students
Ss write the grammar sentences in their notebooks and repeat them with correct stress.
