LESSON PLAN Unit 11: Sources of energy Lesson: Listening Class: 11/7 Time allotted: 45’ Aim: To help students learn and practice sub-skills of listening Objectives: By the end of the lesson, the students will be able to: - Practice listening for gist - Listen to a monologue for comprehension - Use the new words and information from listening task to retell the main ideas Teaching aids and materials: Textbook, blackboard, handouts, projector Procedure: Stages/ time Activities I Warm-up ( 5’) Game: Bingo! Objective: to involve Ss in the lesson and lead in the topic of the listening - T asks Ss to close their book - Ask Ss to take a piece of paper - T gives the instructions to play game: + Ask Ss to list kinds of energy used in their house on their paper + Ss are asked to list as many as they can within minutes + T shows in turn each kind of energy and Ss will put a tick (√) next to that word + The first student to tick all words will shout “Bingo!” and win the game - T allows Ss to play game - Expected answers: Kinds of energy used in your house: - coal - wind power - petroleum - gas - solar energy - water power - oil - T declares the winner and gives gift Lead in: + T asks Ss some questions: Work arrangements Teacher – whole class II PreListening ( 15’) “Which kinds of energy you think are renewable?” Ss: solar energy, wind power, water power “Which kinds of energy you think are nonrenewable?” Ss: coal, petroleum, oil, gas + T continues to ask the question: “Why you think Coal is nonrenewable?” Ss: Because it takes too many years to make coal - T introduces: “Today we will hear a short paragraph about the importance of some vital natural resources.” Pre-teach Vocabulary: Objective: to help Ss learn some basic words before doing tasks * Ecologist (n): Nhà sinh thái học - Eliciting technique: translation - Eliciting question: How you say “nhà sinh thái học” in English? * Fossil fuels (n): Nhiên liệu hóa thạch - Eliciting technique: example - Eliciting question: “Oil, coal, natural gas” are called… * Unlimited (a): không giới hạn - Eliciting technique: definition - Eliciting question: What is the word means “may or can be passed”, “without limit”? * Renewable (a): Có thể phục hồi, thay - Eliciting technique: example - Eliciting question: “Wind and solar power are called replaceable energy In other word, they are…” Checking: Rub Out and Remember Objective: to help Ss remember the words that they’ve just learned - T rubs out new words one at a time - T points to the Vietnamese translation and gets Ss to call out the word in English - T calls on some Ss to rewrite the English words on the blackboard Teacher – whole class Teacher – whole class Prediction: Objective: to help Ss predict the information before listening to the tape - T shows the sentences on the screen: Individual work Ecology is the study of _ A human beings and animals B the environment and solar energy C natural and alternative resources D human beings and their environment The natural environment consists of _ A the oceans and the land B the sun and the air C all natural resources D the air and the oceans If the resource can be _, it is called renewable A burnt quickly B used easily C divided properly D replaced quickly Grass for animals is a _ resource A renewable B nonrenewable C limited D clean According to the passage, coal is nonrenewable because it takes _ to make it A billions of years B millions of years C three million years D three billion years - T asks Ss to predict which choices A, B, C, or D maybe suitable for each sentence - T collects Ss’ answers and writes them down on the blackboard III WhileListening (12’) Activity 1: Multiple choice questions (Task in textbook) Objective: to help Ss listen to the passage and practice the skill of listening for gist Individual work - T asks Ss to work individually - T delivers the handouts to Ss: Listen and complete the sentences by circling the letter A, B, C or D Ecology is the study of _ A human beings and animals B the environment and solar energy C natural and alternative resources D human beings and their environment The natural environment consists of _ A the oceans and the land B the sun and the air C all natural resources D the air and the oceans If the resource can be _, it is called renewable A burnt quickly B used easily C divided properly D replaced quickly Grass for animals is a _ resource A renewable B nonrenewable C limited D clean According to the passage, coal is nonrenewable because it takes _ to make it A billions of years B millions of years C three million years D three billion years - T lets Ss listen to the tape twice and decide the answers - T asks Ss to take notes the information they hear and give the reason for their choices - T calls on some Ss to give the answers - T plays the tape once again to check Ss’ answers and give feedbacks Expected answers: D C D A B Activity 2: Gap filling (Task in textbook) Objective: to help Ss practice listening for comprehension skill - T asks Ss to work in pairs - T asks Ss to listen to the last part of the passage again and fill in the missing words - Ask Ss to compare the answers with their partner - T walks around the class to help Ss if necessary - T calls some Ss from each pair to go to blackboard and write their answers - T checks Ss’ answers Expected answers: Pair work (1): unlimited (2): atmosphere (3): may (4): gases (5): amounts IV PostListening (12’) Discussion Objective: to help Ss use new vocabularies and information from Task and Task to retell the main ideas of the whole passage - T asks Ss to work in groups of - T gives Ss some questions for their discussion: a) “How many components are there in the natural environment?” b) How can you define “renewable resource” and “nonrenewable resource”? c) “Can you give some examples of renewable and nonrenewable resources? Explain why? - T asks Ss to connect the answers of these questions to make their own paragraph - T asks Ss to discuss and share the ideas in their groups - After minutes, T calls some Ss from each group to present their ideas - T listens and gives comments Expected paragraph: Group work “The natural environment consists of components: the air, the oceans, the sun and the land These resources are very important and must be protected According to ecologists, resources are divided into two groups: renewable and nonrenewable If the resource can be replaced quickly, it is called renewable If it cannot be replaced quickly and easily, it is nonrenewable For example, coal is nonrenewable because it takes millions of years to make coal Solar energy, air and water are renewable resources because there is an unlimited supply However, human beings have to protect the atmosphere and use the resources carefully.”  Homework (1’) - T asks Ss to learn the new words - Ask Ss to summarize the listening passage, using the information in Task and Task - T reminds Ss to prepare the next lesson (Writing, p.130) Instructor: Trainee teacher: ... the blackboard III WhileListening (12’) Activity 1: Multiple choice questions (Task in textbook) Objective: to help Ss listen to the passage and practice the skill of listening for gist Individual... whole class Teacher – whole class Prediction: Objective: to help Ss predict the information before listening to the tape - T shows the sentences on the screen: Individual work Ecology is the study...II PreListening ( 15’) “Which kinds of energy you think are renewable?” Ss: solar energy, wind power,
