PRESENTATION

I.                   GREETING

Hello, children! How are you today?

(Hello, teacher! I am fine, thanks!)

Vanya and Alina, how are you today?

NOTE: To ask students about their mood is a good idea to practise the verb “To be” in the present forms.

II.                THEME OF THE LESSON

The teacher asks the students to look at the screen and name the words:

chicken, horse, orange, cheese, one, lamp, ant, table, eggs.

The students name the verbs “Listen”, “Sing and Dance”, “Speak”, “Do Projects\Create”

The teacher asks his students to use the evaluation cards during the lesson.

NOTE: I regularly use the evaluation cards at me English lessons to track the students’ progress. In addition, I suppose that “can do cards” help the teacher to mark the students at the end of the lesson. (Table 1)

PRACTICE

I.                   Vocabulary Revision

GAME TIME

Learning material: cards with pictures and food words

The students work in pairs and match pictures with words to find pairs.

After checking the answers the students rea the words by chain.

NOTE: It is a good idea to use different voice tones (loud and whisper) while pronouncing the words. It makes students excited and motivate them.

II.                Grammar Revision

The teacher asks his students to look at the screen and answer the questions: How many bananas can you see?

NOTE: to repeat the plural form of the nouns

III.             Listening Activity

Learning material: audio

The teacher asks the students to open their workbook at page 30 (the number is written on the whiteboard).

The students are listening a short recording about Lulu’s and Larry’s favourite food.

To discuss the food preferences, the teacher reminds the students the usage of the ending “s” at the end of the verb “LIKE” when talking about Larry and Lulu.

IV.             Speaking Activity

Learning material: speaking activity worksheet

The teacher and the students talk about students’ favourite food.

The students share their pinions by using the visual support on the screen.

After the discussion, the teacher wants the students to work in pairs to fill in the table about their classmates’ favourite food.

The example of the activity:

What about your classmate? What is his favourite food and drinks?

Write four more question and put tick or cross. Then tell your class.

1.    Do you like milk?
2.
3.
4.

V.               SONG TIME!

The teacher and the students sing a song “I don’t like tea, I don’t like coffee...”

The reference to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOgjmzUfB3Y&ab_channel=detiee

NOTE: This chant is a suitable variant to revise all the drinks that students learnt at the previous English lessons and to practise the grammatical structures “I like…\I don’t like…” Moreover, while singing a song, the students dance, that means they have a physical activity to overcome stress and tiredness at the lesson.

VI.           PROJECT TIME!

All children enjoy doing crafts. The teacher and the students are making pizza, by using the prepared pizza making set, which consists of a circle and food pictures. The students decide on the ingredients, cut, and paste the pictures. The students show their pizzas and tell the class: My favourite pizza is…

CONCLUSION

The teacher and the students sum up the lesson by filling the evaluation cards and talking about the “cans” and “cants”
