I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • identify and use the relative pronouns who, which, whose and that in defining clauses
  • explain when the relative pronoun can be omitted (only when it is the object of the clause)
  • apply the rule to build and check accurate sentences about tourism (guides, tours, itineraries)

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss analyse the rule from example sentences on their own before checking with the class, and correct their own answers using the key.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to explain the reasons for their answers, and give and receive feedback politely in English.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss build new sentences about a tour or place they know, choosing the correct relative pronoun for each situation.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read and listen to example sentences, discuss the rule orally, and write short sentences and a short tourism description.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the relative pronouns who, which, whose and that correctly, use the tourism vocabulary (package tour, itinerary, accommodation, brochure), and pronounce the clause linking with clear stress and intonation.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all exercises in class and do the homework on time.
  • Responsibility: Ss take their assigned role in pair and group work and check their own answers honestly against the key.
  • Kindness: Ss listen patiently to classmates' answers and help a partner who is struggling with the rule.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Projector or interactive board with slides of the Meaning and form, Worked examples 1 and 2, and the exercises
  • Textbook Tiếng Anh 9 (Global Success), Unit 8, A Closer Look 2
  • Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 (printed, one set per pair)
  • Whiteboard and colourful markers
  • NeoEdu lesson page with interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/9/english/unit-8-a-closer-look-2

2. Students

  • Textbook and notebook
  • Pen or pencil
  • Small whiteboard or sticky notes for the quick check

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Guess Who or What

a) Aims

Ss recall the words used to describe people, places and things, and notice that a relative clause gives identifying information about a noun.

b) Content

T describes a person or thing in one sentence with a relative clause, for example: 'I'm thinking of a person who helps tourists find their way.' Ss guess the noun. Then T asks Ss to make one similar description of a tourist place or a tour, using who or which.
Guiding questions:

  • Who helps tourists when they travel in a new place?
  • What do we call a tour that includes transport, guide and accommodation? (package tour)
  • What document lists the stops and times of a trip? (itinerary)

c) Expected outcomes

Ss answer: 'a tour guide' / 'a package tour' / 'an itinerary'. Expected Ss' sentence: 'I'm thinking of a brochure which lists the main stops of a tour.' Ss notice that the clause after the noun identifies which person or thing is meant.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the title 'Guess Who or What' on the board and reads the first riddle aloud. T asks Ss to listen and guess the noun.

    Students

    Ss listen carefully and raise hands to guess the answer.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives two more riddles and asks Ss to write their own riddle in one sentence on a sticky note.

    Students

    Ss work individually for 2 minutes, writing one riddle with who or which. Expected answer: 'I'm thinking of a person who drives the tour bus.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 3 Ss to read their riddles aloud and asks the class to guess. T asks: 'Which word connects the noun and the extra information?'

    Students

    Ss read their riddles and the class guesses. Expected answer: 'The word who / which connects them.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms that who and which link a noun with the information that identifies it, and introduces the title of the lesson: relative pronouns.

    Students

    Ss copy the title 'Relative pronouns' into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Meaning and Form of Relative Pronouns

a) Aims

Ss identify who, which, whose and that, and state what each one refers to and what function it has in a defining clause.

b) Content

Ss read the Meaning and form section and the sentence pairs on the slide, then complete Worksheet 1 with a list of the four pronouns.
Worksheet 1 content:

  • Pronoun: who | Refers to: people | Example: the guide who helped us | Function: subject of the clause
  • Pronoun: which | Refers to: things | Example: the map which shows the route | Function: subject of the clause
  • Pronoun: whose | Refers to: possession | Example: the visitor whose bag was lost | Function: shows possession
  • Pronoun: that | Refers to: people or things | Example: the brochure that lists the stops | Function: can replace who or which in a defining clause
    Guiding questions: What does the pronoun refer to? Is the pronoun the subject or the object of the clause? Which pronoun shows possession?

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1 correctly. Key: who = people; which = things; whose = possession; that = people or things (defining clause). Ss state the rule in one sentence: 'Relative pronouns connect a noun with identifying information: who for people, which for things, whose for possession, and that can often replace who or which in a defining clause.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T displays the four example sentences and hands out Worksheet 1. T says: 'Read the sentences and fill in the table. Work in pairs.'

    Students

    Ss read the sentences and receive Worksheet 1.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors pairs and prompts with questions: 'Who does the pronoun refer to?' 'Is it a person or a thing?'

    Students

    Pairs discuss and fill in the table. Expected answers: who refers to people, which refers to things, whose shows possession, that can replace who or which.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites one pair to read their answers and asks the class to agree or add a point.

    Students

    A representative reads the answers. Other Ss respond, for example: 'I agree. Whose shows the possession: the visitor's bag.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the key on the slide and writes the rule on the board: who for people, which for things, whose for possession, that for both in a defining clause.

    Students

    Ss check their tables, correct mistakes in a different colour, and copy the rule into their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

When the Relative Pronoun Can Be Omitted

a) Aims

Ss explain that the relative pronoun can be omitted only when it is the object of the clause, and not when it is the subject.

b) Content

T presents two worked examples from the textbook:
Worked example 1: The guide ___ helped us lives here. → who (refers to a person, subject).
Worked example 2: This is the map ___ shows the route. (which/whose) → which (refers to the thing map, subject).
Then T presents the contrast: 'the guide (who) we met' (object, can be omitted) and 'the guide who helped us' (subject, cannot be omitted).
Question for Ss: 'In which sentence can you remove the pronoun? Why?'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss answer: 'The guide we met' is correct because who is the object of met. 'The guide who helped us' needs who because it is the subject of helped. Key rule: omit only the object pronoun; keep the subject pronoun.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes two sentences on the board: 'The guide (who) we met was helpful.' and 'The guide who helped us was kind.' T asks: 'Can you remove who in each sentence? Think about the subject and object.'

    Students

    Ss read the two sentences silently and think about the answer for 1 minute.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to turn to a partner and explain their answer. T walks around and listens for the words subject and object.

    Students

    Pairs discuss. Expected answer: 'In the first sentence, we is the subject and who is the object of met, so we can remove who. In the second, who is the subject of helped, so we cannot remove it.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks two pairs to share their explanations and writes a short summary on the board.

    Students

    Pairs share. One pair says: 'Yes, you can omit who in the first sentence because it is the object.' Another says: 'No, you cannot omit who in the second, because it is the subject and the clause would have no subject.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the rule: the pronoun can be omitted only when it is the object, not when it is the subject. T reminds Ss to check the subject and verb pattern first.

    Students

    Ss write the rule in their notebooks with one example each.

Activity 3: Practice · 12 minutes

Choose and Correct the Relative Pronoun

a) Aims

Ss choose the correct relative pronoun in context, and correct sentences with mistakes about the subject and the object.

b) Content

Ss do Worksheet 2 individually for 5 minutes, then check in pairs. The exercises are from the textbook:

  1. The guide ___ helped us lives here. A. who; B. which; C. whose; D. where
  2. This is the map ___ shows the route. (which/whose)
  3. The visitor ___ bag was lost called the office. A. who; B. whose; C. which; D. that
  4. Build the sentence: The guide – who knows the village – will lead – our tour.
  5. Check the relative pronouns and correct the wrong one: a) The tour which starts at nine is full. b) The guide which helped me was kind.
    Then T checks the answers with the whole class and runs a quick quiz on the NeoEdu page.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. A. who (refers to a person; subject).
  2. which (refers to the thing map; subject).
  3. B. whose (possession: the visitor's bag).
  4. The guide who knows the village will lead our tour.
  5. a) True. b) False. Correct: The guide who helped me was kind. (Use who for the person guide.)

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T hands out Worksheet 2 and sets a time limit of 5 minutes. T says: 'Choose the correct answer and rebuild the sentence. Then check with your partner.'

    Students

    Ss receive the worksheet and begin working individually.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T circulates and helps Ss who are stuck by asking: 'Is the word a person or a thing? Is it the subject or the object?'

    Students

    Ss complete the exercises and check their answers in pairs. Ss who finish early work on exercise 4 on the whiteboard.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks Ss to report answers for each exercise, and asks the class to explain the reason for each answer.

    Students

    Ss give answers and reasons, for example: 'Exercise 3 is B, whose, because it shows possession: the visitor's bag.' 'Exercise 5b is false, we should use who because the guide is a person.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and corrects pronunciation of the clauses with clear linking, for example 'the guide who helped us'. T praises pairs that gave clear reasons.

    Students

    Ss correct their own worksheets with a different colour pen and note any mistakes.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Write About a Tour Brochure

a) Aims

Ss use the relative pronouns who, which, whose and that to write accurate sentences about a real or imagined tour, using the vocabulary of the lesson.

b) Content

Ss work in groups of four. Each group creates a short brochure entry for a package tour in their hometown or in a place they like. They write 5 sentences, each with a relative pronoun, and include at least one of: package tour, itinerary, accommodation, brochure. Example sentences: 'The guide, who speaks three languages, leads the tour.' 'The hotel which offers the accommodation is near the beach.'
Groups then read one sentence aloud to the class.

c) Expected outcomes

Each group writes a brochure entry with 5 sentences. Expected sample product: 'A package tour which includes transport, meals and accommodation is available for two days.' 'The guide who leads the tour speaks English and Vietnamese.' 'The traveller whose bag was lost called the office.' Ss use at least 3 correct relative pronouns and state correctly whether they can omit the pronoun.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the task and shows the sample brochure sentence. T says: 'Write 5 sentences about your tour. Use who, which, whose or that. Use at least one new word from the vocabulary list.'

    Students

    Ss form groups of four and choose one leader to write the group's sentences.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and checks sentences, reminding Ss to check the subject and object before choosing the pronoun.

    Students

    Groups write their brochure sentences on a sheet or in their notebooks. Ss discuss whether a pronoun can be omitted in each sentence.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two groups to read one sentence each and asks the class: 'Is the pronoun correct? Can we omit it here?'

    Students

    Groups read their sentences aloud. The class responds, for example: 'That is correct. The pronoun is the subject, so we cannot omit it.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the key points: choose the pronoun by the meaning (person, thing, possession), and keep the pronoun when it is the subject. T gives feedback on the accuracy of the sentences and assigns the homework.

    Students

    Ss listen to the feedback, correct their sentences, and write the homework task in their notebooks.
