Giáo án Project

Ss activate prior knowledge about customs practised in their hometown and get ready for the project topic.

Ss work in pairs and list as many customs from their hometown as they can in two minutes. Then they answer the question: Which custom in your hometown would you like to research?

A pair list of 3-5 customs (for example: Removing shoes at home, Eating a family meal before Tet) and one chosen topic written in the notebook.

Ss understand the final product and the six details required: name, participants, setting/time, actions, purpose and one change.

Ss read the Yêu cầu cần đạt and the Ghi nhớ in the textbook. Ss answer: What are the six details you must present? Ss also decide what is not allowed: private or sacred information.

Ss write the six required details in their notebooks: what it is, who practises it, where/when, what people do, why it matters, and one change. Ss note the rule: Do not request private or sacred information.

Ss learn and use the six target words and create a focused question about the purpose of a custom.

Ss match the six target words with their meanings: custom (phong tục), ancestor (tổ tiên), offering (lễ vật), reunion (cuộc đoàn tụ), preserve (gìn giữ), respect (tôn trọng). Then Ss read the example: Why does one family share a meal before Tet? and make their own focused question about purpose.

Matching key: custom - phong tục; ancestor - tổ tiên; offering - lễ vật; reunion - cuộc đoàn tụ; preserve - gìn giữ; respect - tôn trọng. Example sentences: Tet is a time for family reunions. Families remember their ancestors. Ss write one focused question, e.g.: Why do we prepare an offering on the ancestor day?

Ss prepare five respectful interview questions and a consent plan, and learn how to take notes.

Ss complete Worksheet 1: write five questions covering who, where/when, actions, purpose and change; write the consent plan; choose a note-taking method. Ss must explain the school purpose, ask whether notes may be used anonymously, and ask separately before recording or photographing.

Worksheet 1 completed. Sample questions: Who usually takes part in this custom? Where and when do you practise it? What do people do? Why is it important to you? Has it changed in recent years? Sample consent line: Would you like your name to be used, or may we keep your answer anonymous? Ss may also write: You can skip any question.

Ss record findings in a table that separates the speaker's words, their own paraphrase and their interpretation.

Ss complete Worksheet 2 with a findings table. Columns: question | source note | original paraphrase | uncertainty. Ss also review the rule: keep sources or real observations separate from labelled demonstration examples.

Worksheet 2 completed with at least three rows. Example row: Question: Why do you share a meal before Tet? | Source: voluntary interview, grandmother (name kept anonymous) | Paraphrase: She says the meal helps the family reunite. | Uncertainty: This is one family's view, not all families.

Ss practise using a/an/the correctly and writing complete sentences in a report about a custom.

Ss complete the gap-fill below and then correct a short paragraph. Exercise: Fill in a, an or the. 1. Tet is ___ important custom in our family. 2. We prepare ___ offering on ___ altar. 3. My grandmother is ___ eldest person in our family. 4. ___ family meal is held once a year.

Answer key: 1. an (important starts with a consonant sound, so use a: a important custom would be wrong; correct answer: an is not needed here, so use: a important custom is not correct; use the correct form: an important custom); 2. an offering on the altar; 3. the eldest person; 4. The family meal. Ss also write one complete sentence about purpose: The family meal shows respect for ancestors.

Ss present their poster or report, give feedback to others, and reflect on a question or detail they decided not to share.

Ss display their posters or reports on the wall and do a gallery walk. Each S presents for two minutes: what the custom is, who practises it, where/when, what people do, why it matters, and one change. Ss also write a reflection (exercise 8): a question they decided not to ask or a detail they chose not to publish, and why. For homework, Ss complete the interview and the final product.

A completed poster or 80-100-word report with a source note, a short oral presentation in English, and a written reflection of 3-4 sentences. Reflection example: I decided not to ask about the family's private ritual because it is sacred. I did not publish the grandmother's name because she wanted to stay anonymous.
