III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Festival Word Guess

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge of festivals and vocabulary, and notice the question forms that will be studied in the lesson.

b) Content

Ss look at six word cards (parade, feast, costume, fireworks, celebrate, annual) and guess the meaning of each word with a partner. Then Ss make one yes/no question about a festival using one of the words, e.g. “Do people wear costumes at the parade?”

c) Expected outcomes

Ss match each word with its Vietnamese meaning: parade (cuộc diễu hành), feast (bữa tiệc lớn), costume (trang phục lễ hội), fireworks (pháo hoa), celebrate (kỉ niệm/tổ chức mừng), annual (hằng năm). Ss write at least one question starting with Do, Is or Did on the board, e.g. “Do people celebrate the festival every year?”

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the six word cards on the board and asks: “What do you think these words mean? Work in pairs.” T gives a short example: “Is a parade colourful?”

    Students

    Ss look at the cards and listen to T's instruction. Ss ask T: “Is it a question about the meaning?”

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, helps pairs who are stuck and checks that they can guess the meaning from context.

    Students

    Pairs guess the meanings and write one question each on a small whiteboard or notebook. Expected answer: “A parade is a march with music and people in costumes.”

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks several pairs to read their questions aloud, e.g. “Does the festival start in the morning?”, and writes them on the board.

    Students

    Ss read their questions. Other pairs answer: “Yes, it does.” or “No, it doesn't.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T points at the questions on the board and asks: “Which words come after Do, Is or Did?” T says: “Today we will learn how to form yes/no questions in the present and the past.”

    Students

    Ss note the title of the lesson in their notebooks and look at the questions on the board.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Forming Yes/No Questions

a) Aims

Ss understand the pattern of yes/no questions with be, do/does and did, and know when to use each form.

b) Content

T presents the rule: (1) with be, move be before the subject, e.g. “Is the parade colourful?”; (2) with ordinary present verbs, use Do/Does + subject + base verb, e.g. “Do people wear costumes?”; (3) in the past, use Did + base verb, e.g. “Did you join?”. Ss read the email from Long to Mai and find any useful model sentences. Then Ss complete Worksheet 1 by sorting the sentences into three groups: be, do/does, did.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can write the rule in their notebooks:

  • be: Be + subject + …? e.g. “Is the parade colourful?”
  • Present ordinary verbs: Do/Does + subject + base verb? e.g. “Do people wear costumes?”, “Does the event start at six?”
  • Past: Did + subject + base verb? e.g. “Did you join?”
    Key point: after do, does or did, the verb is always in the base form.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the three rules on the slide and says: “Look at the email. Find the sentences with a verb in the present or past. Then sort the questions on Worksheet 1 into three groups.”

    Students

    Ss read the email and the rules. Ss ask: “Do we write the verb in the base form after did?”

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors pairs and prompts with questions: “Is there a be verb in this sentence? What is the subject?”

    Students

    Pairs sort the sentences on Worksheet 1 into the three groups. Expected answer: “Is the parade colourful?” → be; “Do people wear costumes?” → do/does; “Did you join?” → did.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on two or three pairs to read their groups. T asks: “Why do we use did here?”

    Students

    A pair reports: “We use did because the sentence is about the past, and the verb after did is in the base form.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the rules, writes the three patterns on the board and reminds Ss that after do/does/did the verb is always in the base form (not “did joined”).

    Students

    Ss copy the three patterns and the example sentences into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 5 minutes

Short Answers and Common Mistakes

a) Aims

Ss know how to give correct short answers to yes/no questions and avoid the common mistake of answering “Yes, I am” to a Do-question.

b) Content

T presents the short-answer rule: the short answer repeats the auxiliary, e.g. “Do they wear costumes?” – “Yes, they do.”; “Did she join?” – “No, she did not.” T also presents the common mistake: “Do you like fireworks?” – NOT “Yes, I am.” – but “Yes, I do.”

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can give correct short answers:

  • Do you celebrate the festival? → Yes, I do. / No, I don't.
  • Is the parade colourful? → Yes, it is. / No, it isn't.
  • Did you join the feast? → Yes, I did. / No, I didn't.
    Ss understand that the short answer repeats do, does, did or be, not the main verb.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes three questions on the board and asks Ss to give short answers: “Do you like parades?”, “Is the festival annual?”, “Did you celebrate the festival last year?”

    Students

    Ss listen and think of their short answers. Ss ask: “Can I say ‘Yes, I am’ here?”

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to check the answers with a partner and correct each other.

    Students

    Pairs answer the questions and check each other's short answers. Expected answers: “Yes, I do.”, “Yes, it is.”, “Yes, I did.”

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on one or two pairs to read their answers and points out any mistakes such as “Yes, I am” to a Do-question.

    Students

    Ss read their answers aloud and correct each other's mistakes.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: the short answer repeats the auxiliary (do/does/did/be). T reminds Ss that people from different communities celebrate festivals in different ways, so they should avoid assuming that all people do the same thing.

    Students

    Ss write the rule for short answers in their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 8 minutes

Choosing the Correct Auxiliary

a) Aims

Ss choose the correct auxiliary (be, do, does or did) and the correct short answer in multiple-choice questions.

b) Content

Ss complete exercises 1–4 in the textbook. Each question has four options (A, B, C, D). Ss choose the correct answer and explain why.

  1. ___ people wear costumes at this festival? A. Are B. Is C. Does D. Do
  2. ___ the parade held every year? A. Does B. Did C. Is D. Do
  3. Did Mai ___ the lantern display? A. seeing B. see C. saw D. sees
  4. “Does the event start at six?” “Yes, it __.” A. does B. is C. do D. did

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. D – Do (People is plural and wear is an ordinary verb.)
  2. C – Is (The statement uses be: the parade is held….)
  3. B – see (After did use the base form see.)
  4. A – does (A short answer repeats does.)
    Ss can explain each answer in one sentence.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows exercises 1–4 on the slide and says: “Choose the correct answer. Then tell me the reason in one short sentence.”

    Students

    Ss read the questions silently and ask any question about vocabulary if needed.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to work individually for three minutes, then compare answers with a partner.

    Students

    Ss write their answers in their notebooks and compare with a partner. Expected answers: 1–D, 2–C, 3–B, 4–A.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks individual Ss to give answers and reasons. T asks: “Why not A in question 2?”

    Students

    Ss answer: “Question 2 is not Does because the sentence uses the verb be.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and highlights the key rule: be-question for be; Do/Does for ordinary present verbs; Did for the past; base form after the auxiliary.

    Students

    Ss check and correct their answers in their notebooks.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 7 minutes

Rearranging and Judging Sentences

a) Aims

Ss rearrange words into correct questions and judge whether completed sentences are correct.

b) Content

Ss work in pairs on Worksheet 2.
Exercise 5: Choose (Did/Does) and complete the short answer: “___ you visit the fair yesterday? Yes, I ___.”
Exercise 6: Put the words in the correct order: Do → people → wear costumes → at the parade?
Exercise 7: Judge the sentences: a) Do people wear costumes at this festival? b) Are people wear costumes at this festival?

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:
5. Did | did (Yesterday asks about a finished past time; the short answer repeats did.)
6. Do people wear costumes at the parade?
7. a) Đ (correct); b) S (incorrect – People is plural and wear is an ordinary verb, so use Do people wear…, not Are people wear…).

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T distributes Worksheet 2 and says: “Work in pairs. Finish exercises 5, 6 and 7. Check each other's answers.”

    Students

    Pairs read the exercises and ask: “In exercise 6, where does the question start?”

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors and prompts pairs who are stuck: “Look at the time word yesterday. Which auxiliary is needed?”

    Students

    Pairs complete the exercises. Expected answers: 5–Did/did; 6–Do people wear costumes at the parade?; 7–a) correct, b) incorrect.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks one pair to read the answer to exercise 7b and explain the mistake.

    Students

    A pair reports: “Sentence b is wrong because People is plural and wear is an ordinary verb, so we use Do, not Are.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and reminds Ss to read the whole sentence after choosing the auxiliary.

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and note the common mistake in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Festival Email Writing

a) Aims

Ss use yes/no questions and topic vocabulary to write a short email about a festival they joined or imagined.

b) Content

Ss write a 60–80-word email to a friend. The email must include: the place, the time, the activities and their reaction. Ss must use at least two yes/no questions (with be, do/does or did) and at least three words from the topic vocabulary (parade, feast, costume, fireworks, celebrate, annual). The model email from Long to Mai can be used as a reference.

c) Expected outcomes

A short email of 60–80 words, for example:
“Hi Tom, Last month I joined the annual lantern festival in my town. It took place in the evening near the river. We watched a colourful parade and saw beautiful fireworks. Did you celebrate any festival this year? I liked the feast best because the food was delicious. Tell me about your festival.
Best, Mai”
Ss check their email for correct question forms and short answers.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the task on the board: “Write a 60–80-word email about a festival you joined or imagined. Include place, time, activities and your reaction. Use at least two yes/no questions.”

    Students

    Ss read the task and ask: “Can I write about an imagined festival?”

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and checks the questions in Ss' emails. T supports Ss who have difficulty by asking, e.g. “What is the auxiliary for a past event?”

    Students

    Ss write their emails individually (about 5–6 minutes). Some Ss may finish early and check their questions with a partner.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks two or three Ss to read a question from their email aloud and invites the class to give the short answer.

    Students

    Ss read a question, e.g. “Did you celebrate the festival with your family?” Classmates answer: “Yes, I did.”

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good examples and reminds Ss of the three key patterns. T says: “Homework: revise your email and check your questions before the next lesson.”

    Students

    Ss write down the homework and keep their emails for checking.
