Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes
Festival Quiz
a) Aims
Ss activate the topic of festivals around the world and recall the Yes/No question forms they learned in Unit 9.
b) Content
Ss answer quick questions about festivals on the slide, for example: 'Do people wear costumes at the festival?' and 'Did you join a parade last year?'. Ss decide whether each answer uses Yes or No and which auxiliary is needed.
c) Expected outcomes
Ss give short answers that repeat the auxiliary, for example: 'Yes, they do.' and 'No, I did not.' Ss state the rule: be goes before the subject; with ordinary verbs, use Do/Does + subject + base verb; in the past, use Did + base verb.
d) Organisation

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T shows a picture of a festival (parade, lantern display) and says: 'Look at the picture. Let's review Unit 9 quickly. I will ask you some questions, and you answer with a short answer.'
Students
Ss look at the picture and listen to the teacher's instructions.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T asks 3 to 4 quick questions: 'Is the parade colourful?', 'Do people wear costumes at this festival?', 'Did you join the lantern display?'.
Students
Ss answer individually or in chorus, for example: 'Yes, it is.', 'Yes, they do.', 'No, I did not.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on 2 or 3 Ss to read their answers aloud and asks: 'Which auxiliary did you use after did?'
Students
Ss answer: 'We used the base form of the verb after did.' Some Ss may say: 'We used do with they and does with she.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T writes the three rules on the board and highlights the key point: 'Do not answer Yes, I am to a Do you… question.' T praises Ss for their quick responses.
Students
Ss copy the rules into their notebooks.
