d. Organization:

Step 1: Teacher assigns learning tasks

- Teacher asks Ss to open their books at the last page of Unit 1, the Project section.

- Teacher explains the project requirements: Ss will work in groups to design a visual story (posters, short comic strips, or PowerPoint slides) about a person's life and give an oral presentation in the last lesson.

- Teacher puts Ss into groups, choose a group leader, and asks Ss to pick one famous historical figure they admire to research.

- Teacher suggests some steps Ss can follow:

+ Step 1: Collecting information by searching the Internet, reading magazines, etc…

+ Step 2: Organising the ideas and visuals, and designing their posters/comic strips/PowerPoint slides.

+ Step 3: Practising presenting their visual stories and answering questions about the person's life.

Step 2: Students perform learning tasks

- Students form groups of 4-5.

- They discuss and agree on a person (e.g., General Vo Nguyen Giap, Marie Curie, etc.) and assign roles (information collector, designer, presenter).

- Information collectors apply advanced query operators on search engines via smart devices to download historical data and multimedia assets regarding the group's historical character.

- Designers launch cloud-based publishing tools (e.g., Canva or PowerPoint) to set up layouts, integrate textual biographies, and edit presentation slides.

- Group members optimize the development of their written presentation scripts by consulting generative AI tools (e.g., Gemini or ChatGPT) to refine structural grammar and enhance vocabulary.

Step 3: Reporting and Discussion

- Teacher asks the leader of each group to stand up and announce their chosen person and the format of their visual story.

Step 4: Evaluation

- Teacher gives encouraging comments, helps Ss set a deadline for the information-gathering task, and advises them on functional language to use (e.g., born in, educated at, worked as).

- Teacher summarizes the lesson and assigns homework.

(1.1.NC1b: Apply search techniques to retrieve data, information, and content in a digital environment.

3.1.NC1a: Apply ways to create and edit content in different formats.

6.2.NC1a: Optimize the use of AI tools to achieve higher efficiency.)
