Step 1: Pre-reading (12’) Act Eliciting vocab
Listen, guess its meaning and copy down - Repeat chorally , individually
1 Earthquake a mountain or hill with
openings through which ashes and gases ejected
2 tidal wave b violent storm especially in east Asian seas
3 typhoon c violent storm over small area
4 volcano d another word for tsunami, waves caused by tides Tornado e sudden and violent
movements of the earth surface a tidal wave: song than
a tornado: loc xoay
+ Pacifc rim: Vành đai Thái Bình Dương + Collapse (v): sụp đổ
(2)-Checking understanding: R.O.R
Act True- False Statements Predictions * Set the scene: There are statements about the information of some to natural disaster All of you have to read them and guess whether they are true or false
- Hang the poster of T/F statements on the board
- Get students to work in pairs to guess which statements are true and which are false
- Students predict whether the six statements are true or false
- Give feedback
Step 2: While-reading (17’) Act Checking predictions:
- Have students read the text on page 78 and check their perfection
- Students read for the first time and check their predictions
Get students to correct false statements Answer key:
1 T T F T F T
Act Complete the sentences
- Have students work in pairs and complete the sentences in exercise 5b on page 79 Answer keys:
1 The majority of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim
2 During the earthquake in Kobe, many people were killed when homes, office blocks and highways collapsed
3 A tidal wave can only occur when there is an abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the Earth
4 In Australia, a tropical storm is known as a cyclone
+ Shift (n) dịch chuyển, thay đổi + Hurricane (n) = cyclone = typhoon + Erupt (v): Eruption (n): Phun trào + Funnel (n): Cái phễu
1 Most of earthquakes in the world occur in the Ring of Fire
2 The earthquake in Kobe in 1995 caused severe damage
3 A huge tidal wave traveled from California to Alaska and hit Anchorage in the 1960s Typhoon, hurricane and tropical storm are different words for the same natural disasters The eruption of Mount Pinatubo is the world’s largest ever volcano eruption A Tornado looks like a funnel 2.Reading

3 F A huge tidal wave traveled from Alaska to California
4 T
5 F The eruption of Mount Pinatubo is the world’s largest volcanic eruption in more than 50 years
6 T
Complete the sentences
1 …… occur around the pacific Rim
2 …… homes, office blocks and highways collapsed
3 …… there is a abrupt shift in the underwater movement of the earth … a cyclone
5 …… the word "typhoon"
(3)5 Christopher Columbus gave us the word “typhoon”
6 A Tornado is a type of storm that passes overland below a thunderstorm and sucks up anything that is in its path
Step 3: Post-reading (8’) * Asking and answering:
- Divide the class into four groups - Have students read the text again
- Group asks a question Group 2, 3, answer it
- Group ask another question Group 1, 3, answers
- Go on until the four groups ask their questions
* Possible answers:
- Because 90% of earthquakes occur around the Pacific Rim
- Tidal waves will happen - It mean “big wind”
- Yes The scientists can warn us about the eruption
IV Summary ( 2’)
- Repeat the content of the lesson V Homework: (1')
- Learn by heart all the new words - Do exercise:4 P.60 (workbook)
- write the exercise 5b into their notebooks, using their ideas
- Prepare Write
1 Why people call the Pacific Rim “Ring of Fire”
