I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
Identify the main activity, purpose, place and time in a text about traffic and support each answer with a sentence from the text.
Explain in their own words the contrast in the text: Yen uses the pavement, but if it is blocked she asks an adult for a safe alternative instead of stepping into traffic.
Use the six target words (pavement, helmet, pedestrian, crossing, passenger, road sign) in context and ask about distance with 'How far is it from ... to ...?'.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text first without stopping at new words, then scan for specific details by themselves before checking with a partner.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to compare answers, discuss whether they would make the same choice as Yen, and give reasons with a specific detail.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide what Yen should do when the pavement is blocked and propose a safe alternative for their own journey to school.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read an original text on traffic to find main ideas and supporting details, give a reasoned opinion with evidence, and write a 35–50-word summary.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce and use the target vocabulary correctly, and use the distance pattern 'How far is it from here to ...?' with the subject 'it'.

3. Personal qualities

Responsibility: Ss explain why Yen's choice of a safe route shows responsibility for her own safety and the safety of others on the road.
Honesty: Ss answer the T/F and reading questions based only on evidence in the text and do not invent events that are not mentioned.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Reading deeply: the blocked pavement

a) Aims

Ss understand the limitation in the text, explain it in their own words, and give an opinion supported by a detail.

b) Content

T introduces the target vocabulary: pavement (vỉa hè), crossing (chỗ sang đường), pedestrian (người đi bộ), helmet (mũ bảo hiểm), passenger (hành khách), road sign (biển báo giao thông). Ss read the key sentences: 'The route is about one kilometre. She uses the pavement and crosses at the marked crossing. If the pavement is blocked, she asks an adult for a safe alternative instead of stepping into traffic.' Ss answer with Phiếu học tập số 2: 'Explain in your own words what Yen does when the pavement is blocked.' and 'Would you make the same choice? Why?'

c) Expected outcomes

Sample answers:

Yen does not walk into the traffic. When the pavement is blocked, she asks an adult to help her find a safe way.
Sample opinion: 'Yes, I would make the same choice, because a safe alternative protects me from traffic.' Or: 'I would ask an adult too, because the road is dangerous for a pedestrian.'

Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T asks 2–3 pairs to share and checks that each opinion has a detail. T gently corrects 'It is good' to a supported opinion, for example: 'It is good, because she is safe from heavy traffic.'
