LESSON PLAN 9 LÊ NGỌC QUỲNH CHI GLOBAL SUCCESS
- Prepare: Unit 1: A closer book 1
- Start preparing for the Project of the unit:
+ Teacher randomly puts Ss in groups of 4 or 5 and asks them to brainstorm about their
community. Students will show and present in Lesson 7 – Looking back and Project.
(Teacher should check the progress of students’ preparation after each lesson.)
+ Explain the project requirements: In groups, Ss will interview some Ss from their class or
from other classes about the changes they want to make in their community, using the
questions provided. They then analyse the answers from their friends and report the findings
to their class. They can use a poster or PowerPoint slides to present their findings. In this
case, their slides or posters should include a mixture of text and tables, graphs, or pictures so
that T and other classmates can easily follow and understand their findings.
+ Show them how to collect and analyse the answers. Here are the steps T can follow:
Step 1. Have Ss answer the questions about their community:
1. Where do you live?
2. What is good about your community?
3. What is not good about your community?
4. What changes do you want to make to improve your community?
Invite about three Ss to answer the questions. Draw a table on the board to record their
answers. This way you are teaching them how to record the answers in a survey. The table
should look like the one on page 17 in Student’s book.
Then model how to report the findings to the questions. Say, I have just asked three students
about their community. Here are the findings. Two students live in or near the city centre.
One student lives far from the centre …
Step 2. Ask Ss to look at the four questions in the book. Check if they understand the
questions. Instruct them to create a table to record their classmates’ answers. Tell groups that
each group member can ask two classmates or two students from other classes, so each group
can ask about 10 students, using the table they have created.
Step 3. When they finish asking, they can organise the information they get in the table.
Step 4. Groups of Ss prepare short reports about the findings. Have them read the questions
on page 17 and follow these guiding questions to prepare the report.
