I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to identify the main message of a text about a festival in the community garden.
By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to locate supporting details (who, what, where, when, why) and point to the sentences that give the evidence.
By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to distinguish what the text says from their own opinion and use the vocabulary: parade, feast, costume, fireworks, celebrate, annual.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text on their own first, then scan for details and check their answers against the sentences in the text.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to compare answers, justify their choices with evidence and share opinions about festivals in their community.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide which details best support the main message and suggest a safe, original festival idea using a reason from the text.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read for main ideas and supported details, explain a relevant opinion with evidence, and write a 35–50-word summary of the reading.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce and use the six key words correctly, and recognise the simple future form 'would' in the text (for example, 'would use', 'would share', 'would be').

3. Personal qualities

Responsibility: Ss show concern for the safety of families and volunteers when they discuss how Vy's festival avoids fireworks and keeps paths clear.
Honesty: Ss support every answer with the exact sentence from the text and do not replace evidence with a general belief.

Step 1: Task delivering
T writes the six key words on the board, models pronunciation and asks Ss to repeat in chorus and individually. T says: 'Read the text once and find the main message. Do not worry about every word.'
Students
Ss repeat the words after T and read the text silently for the main message.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T monitors and asks: 'What is the text about? Who is the text about?' T reminds Ss to underline the sentence that supports their answer.
Students
Ss work individually, underline the key sentence (Vy plans an unusual festival... Vy does this because she wants families to enjoy a safe celebration) and write a one-sentence main message in their notebooks.
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T invites two Ss to read their main messages aloud and asks the class: 'Do you agree? Which sentence supports it?'
Students
Expected answer: 'Vy plans an unusual festival in the community garden because she wants families to enjoy a safe celebration.' Ss point to the first and second sentences of the text as evidence.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Scanning for supporting details

a) Aims

Ss scan the text quickly to find specific details (who, what, where, when, why) and identify the sentence that supports each detail.

b) Content

Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs. Questions: 'Who is the main person?', 'What is the main activity?', 'Where does the activity take place?', 'When does it take place?', 'Why does she do this?'. Ss also identify what the Quiet Lantern Festival includes: electric lights, stories, a quiet parade, no fireworks, volunteers keep paths clear.

Who: Vy
What: plans an unusual festival (the Quiet Lantern Festival)
Where: in the community garden

Ss read the instructions and the five questions on Worksheet 1.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T asks pairs to share the work: one S scans the text and the other S checks the answer. T walks around and gives hints such as 'Look for the word September' or 'Look for the word because'.
Students
Pairs scan the text, write the answers and copy the supporting sentences into the worksheet.
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on individual Ss to give one answer each and read the supporting sentence aloud. T asks: 'Is there any detail that is not in the text?'
Students
Ss report, for example: 'Where: in the community garden. The text says: Vy plans an unusual festival in the community garden in September.' Ss say no, because all details come from the text.
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T confirms the answers and states: 'A correct keyword does not make an irrelevant response correct. Always use the whole context.' T asks Ss to mark the supporting sentences with a highlighter.
Students
Ss correct their worksheets and copy the five details and the festival features into their notebooks.
