Students’ activities

I. Warm up: Spend a few minutes revising the previous lesson by having the class sing the song

What did you see at the zoo? Invite a group to do actions in front of the class during the singing.

II. New lesson:

1. Look, listen and repeat

•              Tell the class that they are going to read a story about Nam and Phong.

•              Have them look at the pictures and check their comprehension by pointing at each picture and eliciting their answers to these questions: What are they talking about? Guess what the pythons/the lions/the pandas did at the zoo.

•              Play the recording all the way through for pupils to listen and follow in their books. Play it again for them to repeat each line.

2Point and say

•             Tell the class that they are going to practise the question and answer What did the ... do when you were there? They ...

•             Revise the past simple forms of the verbs: roar (roared), move (moved) and eat (ate), and teach the adverbs. Remind them that adverbs take an -ly ending. Have them practise saying the question What did the ... do when you were there? with the names of the animals under the pictures.

•              Then point to each picture and ask the question for them to practise saying the answer with the verb phrase.

•              Ask pupils to work in pairs. Monitor the activity and offer help, if necessary.

•              Invite one or two pairs to ask and answer the questions.

3Let’s talk:

•              -  Tell the class that they are going to practise further by asking and answering the questions in their books. If you want to add variety, you can invite them to imagine they are in different schools and give different answers. Tell them to make their own timetables before practising.

•              Set a time limit for pupils to practise. Monitor the activity and offer help, if necessary.

•              Invite two or three pairs to act out their conversations. Then give feedback.

 III. Consolidation:

- Summary the lesson

IV. Homework:

-  Do exercises in workbook, learn by heart the new words

- Sing the song

- Listen

- Look at the pictures and answer:

•              Nam and Phong are talking at school.

•              In Picture a, Phong says that he went to the zoo last week and it was great.

•              In Picture b, Nam asks What did the lions do when you were there? and Phong answers They roared loudly.

•              In Pictures c and d, Phong continues to talk about other animals and says I saw a python too. It moved really quietly. And I saw two pandas. They were really cute and did things slowly.)

Students’ activities

I. Warm up: Play the game: Order the words

II. New lesson:

4. Listen and circle a or b.

•              Tell  the class that they are going to listen and circle a or b to complete the sentences.          Ask them to read the sentences and guess the  answers.

•              Play the recording all the way through for pupils to listen. Play it again for them to do the task.

•              Get pupils to compare their answers before checking as a  class.

Key:   1 a       2 b      3 b

5. Write about your visit to the zoo

•              Remind the class that they should write about things that really happened to them.

•              Have pupils read the questions and check their understanding.

•              Set a time limit for them to do the writing. Monitor the activity and offer help, if necessary.

•              Get them to swap and read their writing in pairs before inviting one or two to read their answers aloud.

Key:   Answers vary

6Let’s play:

•              •         Tell pupils that they are going to play  Charades.

•              Divide the class into Team A and Team B. Stick a large sheet of paper on the board with the following words written on it: slowly, noisily, quickly, loudly, quietly and beautifully. Explain how the game is played. One pupil of Team A mimes a zoo animal and asks What did I see at the zoo? The pupils of Team B answer the question. If the answer is correct, Team B wins one point. Another pupil from Team  A mimes an action which that  animal does and asks What  did they do there? Team B gives the answer. If the answer is correct, Team B wins another point. Then it is Team B’s turn to mime and ask questions. Set a time limit. The two teams take turns to mime and ask questions. The team that gets more points  wins.
