Unit 4: Remembering the Past

Skills 2

PART 1 – MAIN CONTENT OF THE LESSON PLAN

This comprehensive lesson plan for "Unit 4: Remembering the Past - Skills 2" is designed to engage students in exploring and discussing school life in the past. The lesson covers all four key language skills through a series of interactive and well-structured activities:

• Warm-up & Vocabulary Introduction: Students begin with a video and a warm-up activity, followed by matching phrases like "walking barefoot," "talking face to face," and "playing a traditional game" with relevant pictures to build foundational vocabulary.
• Listening Comprehension: Students listen to a conversation between Thanh and his grandma about past school days, identifying and ticking the activities mentioned. This is reinforced with multiple-choice questions focusing on key details such as school subjects, homework, and means of transport.
• Speaking Practice: A pair-work activity encourages students to ask and answer questions about school days in the past, using provided cues like "school time," "school subjects," and "leisure time activities." A visual comic strip example further aids understanding and conversation.
• Writing Task: Students are guided to write a paragraph (100-120 words) about school days in the past, with a suggested starting sentence and a detailed sample answer provided.
• Interactive Games & Grammar: The lesson includes a fun "Secret Envelope" game to review vocabulary and grammar, featuring questions such as: 
  "1. When Mai goes to the beach, she loves taking off her sandals and walking ______ on the warm sand." (Answer: barefoot) 
  "3. Read this diary entry from 1980: 'After school, I ______ home and ______ my mother cook dinner.'" (Answer: stayed / helped) 
  Additionally, a "Find the mistake and rewrite" exercise helps reinforce correct grammar usage related to past events.
• Creative Application: A unique "Time-Travel Reporter" role-play interview activity allows students to interview a "grandparent from the 1970s" (potentially using an AI chatbot for ideas) to gather information about past school life and present a report.
