I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Write three research questions about the living places, livelihoods and culture of one ethnic group in Viet Nam.
    • Record sources (title, date, author or museum, exact spelling of names) and check names against a second reliable source.
    • Use scope words such as many and some to make accurate statements, and avoid generalising from one example.
    • Describe one livelihood and one cultural practice, each linked to the source that supports it.
    • Organise an introduction poster with three information boxes, labelled illustrations and source credits, and write an 80–100-word introduction with two questions for visitors.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss plan their own research questions, keep a source log and check their own drafts against the assessment criteria before presenting.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to compare sources, correct sentences, give peer feedback during the gallery walk and present their poster to the class.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss decide how to show evidence on the poster, choose suitable illustrations or permitted images, and explain the limits of their research.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read a museum-style description, write research questions and poster text, and present their product orally with a clear limitation statement.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the key words ethnic group, stilt house, communal house, weave, costume and diverse correctly, use many and some as scope words, and write complete sentences rather than translating Vietnamese word order.

3. Personal qualities

  • Responsibility: Ss record every source accurately and state clearly which information comes from a source and which is a labelled demonstration.
  • Honesty: Ss do not present invented results as real, do not claim one village or family represents the whole group, and openly state at least one limit of their research.
  • Diligence: Ss complete all eight tasks, check spelling of names and finish the poster on time.
  • Kindness: Ss describe ethnic groups with respect, replace stereotyped sentences with precise and respectful ones, and give constructive feedback to classmates.
  • Patriotism: Ss show pride in the diverse traditions of Viet Nam's ethnic groups through accurate and respectful presentation of their culture.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Projector or interactive board, laptop and speakers
  • NeoEdu learning page for the unit: neoedu.vn/learn/8/english/unit-4-project (lesson explanation, examples and interactive exercises)
  • Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (printed, one set per pair)
  • A labelled demonstration poster (marked 'DEMONSTRATION ONLY') to model layout, boxes, illustration label and source credits
  • Assessment checklist: relevant content and evidence (4 points); usable, clearly organised product (2 points); accurate English (2 points); explanation of choices and limitations (2 points). Assessment is by the teacher, with no automatic score.
  • Timer and vocabulary cards: ethnic group, stilt house, communal house, weave, costume, diverse

2. Students

  • Notebook, pen, pencil and coloured markers
  • A3 or A2 poster sheet, rulers, scissors and glue
  • Printed sources or access to the internet for research (sources must be recorded)
  • Photos or drawings as permitted images or original illustrations, each with a source credit
  • Source log sheet and draft of the introduction (80–100 words)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Warm-up: Ethnic Group Quick Quiz

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about ethnic groups in Viet Nam, review the key vocabulary and understand the project task.

b) Content

T shows the six key words on the board: ethnic group, stilt house, communal house, weave, costume, diverse. Ss guess the meaning of each word (Vietnamese translations may be used to check). Then T asks: 'What is an ethnic group?' and 'Name one ethnic group you know and one thing you know about its life.'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss match each word with its meaning, e.g. 'A stilt house is raised above the ground.' 'People gather in the communal house.' 'Some artisans weave beautiful cloth.' 'A costume may have a special meaning.' 'Our country has diverse traditions.' Ss name at least one ethnic group they know and state the project goal: research one group and create an introduction poster.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the six key words and asks Ss to match them with the meanings. T announces the final product: 'Our ethnic groups' - one introduction poster about one ethnic group, with sourced information.

    Students

    Ss look at the words and listen to the project goal. They copy the words and the goal into their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives 2 minutes for pair guessing and walks around to help.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs to match words with meanings and discuss the question 'What is an ethnic group?'. Possible answer: 'An ethnic group is a community of people who share a language, culture and history.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3 pairs to say their answers and asks: 'Which ethnic group do you know? What do you know about its houses or clothes?'

    Students

    Ss report answers. Possible answers: 'The Tay live in stilt houses.' (Ss should state where they learned this, to show the importance of sources.)

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the correct meanings and says: 'Today you will research one group. Every fact on your poster must have a source.'

    Students

    Ss write the lesson title and the project goal in their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 15 minutes

Research Questions and Source Log

a) Aims

Ss write three research questions about living places, livelihoods and culture, and record sources accurately.

b) Content

T models the example: 'Choose one group and write three research questions about living places, livelihoods, and culture.' Sample answers: 'Where do members of the group live?' 'Which livelihoods does the source describe?' 'What named cultural practice does it explain?' Ss then complete Worksheet 1: choose one group, write three research questions, and fill in the source log (source title, date, author or museum, exact spelling of group and place names, second source used to check ambiguous names).

c) Expected outcomes

Three research questions per pair, e.g. 'Where do members of the [group name] live?' 'Which livelihoods does the source describe?' 'What named cultural practice does it explain?' A complete source log entry, e.g. 'Source: [title] | Date: [date] | Author or museum: [name] | Names checked against: [second source].' Ss note that spelling of names must be compared with a second reliable source.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the example questions and the source log model on the projector. T explains: 'Each question must be answered by a source or a real observation. Do not invent results.' T distributes Worksheet 1.

    Students

    Ss read the example questions and the source log model. They ask questions if the instructions are unclear.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks pairs to choose one group from the list of ethnic groups of Viet Nam in their sources. T monitors and checks that questions are about living places, livelihoods and culture.

    Students

    Pairs choose one group, write three research questions on Worksheet 1 and record one or two sources in the log. Pairs check the spelling of names with a second source. Possible answer: 'Source: museum guide sheet | Date: 2023 | Museum: [name] | Names checked against: textbook glossary.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 2–3 pairs to read their questions and source log. T asks: 'Is this question about one group only? Does your source have a date?'

    Students

    Pairs read their questions and sources aloud. Other pairs say whether the questions cover living places, livelihoods and culture, and whether the source has a date and author.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: 'Good questions ask about living places, livelihoods and culture. A good source log has title, date, author or museum, and checked names.' T shows the NeoEdu page for the research example.

    Students

    Ss correct their questions and source logs and write the key points in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 15 minutes

Scope Words and Respectful Language

a) Aims

Ss use the scope words many and some correctly, and rewrite stereotyped sentences in a precise and respectful way.

b) Content

T presents the rule: a defensible label says 'Many ... live in ...' when the source supports it. Avoid 'All ... live only in ...' without evidence. Ss compare 'They all live in the same houses' with 'The source describes this house in one community; families may choose different homes.' T also explains that a complete sentence needs a complete clause, and that Ss should not translate Vietnamese word order directly. Ss complete Worksheet 2 with the labels and corrections.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write two scope labels using the source. Demonstration (labelled, not real data): 'Many families in the community live in stilt houses, according to the source.' 'Some families in the community weave cloth.' Ss rewrite 'They all live in the same houses' as 'The source describes this house in one community; families may choose different homes.' Ss identify the error 'They all' as an overgeneralisation.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the rule on the board: 'Many ... / Some ... (when the source supports it). Avoid All ... only ... without evidence.' T distributes Worksheet 2 and explains the task.

    Students

    Ss read the rule and the two sentences. They note the difference between 'They all live in...' and 'Many ... live in...'.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, checks complete sentences, and reminds Ss not to translate Vietnamese word order directly.

    Students

    Pairs complete Worksheet 2: they write two scope labels for their group and rewrite the stereotyped sentences. Possible answer: 'Some families in the community weave cloth; the museum describes this craft in one village.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Why is They all live in the same houses a problem?' and invites pairs to share their rewritten sentences.

    Students

    Pairs report. Possible answer: 'It is a generalisation; the source describes one house in one community, and families may choose different homes.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms: 'Use many or some only when the source supports it. Use respectful language, and check that every sentence is complete.' T writes the corrected sentence on the board.

    Students

    Ss copy the corrected sentences and the rule into their notebooks.

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Poster Structure and Introduction

a) Aims

Ss identify the three information boxes, labelled illustrations, source credits and introduction features of a poster.

b) Content

T shows the labelled demonstration poster. The poster has three information boxes: living places; livelihoods; cultural example. Illustrations are labelled as examples, not portraits of every group member. Each source is credited. T explains the introduction (80–100 words, one sourced name, specific details) and two visitor questions (for example, 'How many ...?' and 'What ...?').

c) Expected outcomes

Ss identify the structure of the demonstration poster:

  • Box 1: Living places (with source)
  • Box 2: Livelihoods (with source)
  • Box 3: Cultural example (with source)
  • Illustration label: 'Example only: a stilt house. This is not a portrait of every group member.'
  • Source credits at the bottom
    Ss also note that an introduction uses specific details and that visitor questions invite discussion without ranking groups.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the DEMONSTRATION ONLY poster and asks: 'Where is the information about living places? Where is the source credit?'

    Students

    Ss look at the poster and answer the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to sketch the layout of their own poster with three boxes, an illustration space and a source credit area.

    Students

    Ss sketch the layout in their notebooks. Possible answer: 'Box 1 - Living places: stilt houses (source: ...); Box 2 - Livelihoods: weaving (source: ...); Box 3 - Cultural example: communal house festival (source: ...).'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2 Ss to show their sketches and asks: 'Does your illustration show every member of the group?'

    Students

    Ss present their sketches. Possible answer: 'No. The illustration is labelled as an example.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the poster structure and the introduction rules, and reminds Ss that visitor questions should not rank groups.

    Students

    Ss write the poster structure in their notebooks.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 15 minutes

Checking Sentences: Livelihoods, Cultural Practices and Stereotypes

a) Aims

Ss describe one livelihood and one cultural practice, each linked to the source that supports it, and check sentences for stereotypes.

b) Content

Pairs work on task 4: 'Describe one livelihood and one cultural practice, each tied to the source that supports it.' Use the phrase 'The museum description explains ...' and name the specific example. Do not invent beliefs from a costume's colour. Pairs then complete task 8: replace one stereotyped sentence with a precise, respectful version.

c) Expected outcomes

Demonstration (labelled, not real data): 'The museum description explains that families in one village weave cloth on a loom in the communal house.' Real Ss sentences must cite their own source. Stereotype correction: 'They all live in the same houses' becomes 'The source describes this house in one community; families may choose different homes.' Ss also check that they have not invented a meaning for a costume's colour.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the instruction for tasks 4 and 8 on the board. T reminds Ss of the rule: 'Each sentence must be linked to a source.'

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and the demonstration sentence.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors pairs and asks: 'Which source supports this sentence? Is the example specific?'

    Students

    Pairs write one livelihood sentence and one cultural practice sentence with source names. They then rewrite one stereotyped sentence. Possible answer: 'The source explains that weaving is a livelihood in this community; not all families weave.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 2–3 pairs to read one sentence each and tells the class to check whether the source is named.

    Students

    Pairs read their sentences. Other pairs say whether the sentence is supported by a source and whether it avoids generalising.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms: 'Link every fact to a source. Do not generalise from one family or one object.' T gives feedback on complete sentences and word order.

    Students

    Ss correct their sentences and record the final versions in their notebooks.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 10 minutes

Drafting the Introduction and Visitor Questions

a) Aims

Ss write an 80–100-word introduction and two visitor questions based on sourced details.

b) Content

Ss complete tasks 5 and 6: design the poster text with three information boxes, two illustrations or permitted images and source credits, and write an 80–100-word introduction and two questions for visitors. The introduction must use a sourced name and specific details. Questions such as 'How many ...?' and 'What ...?' invite discussion without ranking groups.

c) Expected outcomes

A draft introduction of 80–100 words, e.g. 'The [group name] is one of the ethnic groups of Viet Nam. According to the [source title, date], members of this group live in [place]. Their livelihoods include [livelihood], as described in the source. One cultural practice is [practice], which the source explains in detail. This poster presents information from one source and does not describe every member of the group.' Two visitor questions, e.g. 'How many families in this village weave cloth?' and 'What is the role of the communal house in this practice?'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives the word limit (80–100 words) and the rule for visitor questions. T asks Ss to check their word count.

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and count words in their drafts.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T circulates and checks that each introduction includes a sourced name and that questions do not rank groups.

    Students

    Pairs write the introduction and two questions on a separate sheet. Ss check the word count and the spelling of names.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks 2 pairs to read their introductions and questions aloud.

    Students

    Pairs read. The class checks whether the introduction is 80–100 words and whether the questions invite discussion.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms: 'Introductions must be specific and sourced; questions must invite discussion, not ranking.'

    Students

    Ss revise their introductions and questions.

Activity 4: Application · 20 minutes

Poster Presentation and Limits

a) Aims

Ss present their poster to visitors, explain one limit of their research, and receive peer feedback.

b) Content

Ss complete task 7: present the poster and explain one limit of the research. Groups set up their posters for a gallery walk. Each group presents for two minutes: group name, one source, one scope statement, and one limit. Visitors (other groups) use the checklist: relevant content and evidence; clearly organised product; accurate English; explanation of limitation. The teacher assesses later; no automatic score is given for oral delivery.

c) Expected outcomes

Each group's poster and a two-minute presentation. Example limit statement: 'Our source is a museum description of one village, so it does not describe all members of this ethnic group. Practices may vary and change over time.' Peer feedback sheets with one comment on evidence and one on English.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the gallery walk procedure and the checklist. T reminds Ss to state one limit of their research.

    Students

    Ss read the checklist and prepare their two-minute presentation.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T arranges groups around the room and starts a gallery walk. T checks timing and listens to presentations.

    Students

    Groups present their posters. Visitors take notes on the checklist and ask one question each. Possible question: 'How many families did your source describe?'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2 groups to share their most useful peer comment and the limit they stated.

    Students

    Groups report feedback. Possible answer: 'Our limit is that the source covers only one community, so we did not describe the whole group.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: 'Good presentations use sourced evidence, precise English and honest limits.' T announces that the final poster, source log and reflection are due next lesson.

    Students

    Ss write one lesson takeaway in their notebooks and note the homework.
