Students’ activities

I-Warm up:

- Free talk

- Check old lesson

3m  and check the old lesson in 5m

II. New lesson: ( minutes)

- Write ‘Life skills’ on the board and ask Ss what they think it means. Ask them to give some examples of life skills.

- Explain the words in the Extra vocabulary box. Use a dictionary or translate the words since they are all abstract concepts.

III. Extra vocabulary: (5m)

- Preteach the vocabulary

1.Read about the necessary life skills ... (p31) (7m)

- Ask Ss to work in pairs to complete this task. Go around and offer help if needed.

- Otherwise, T may turn this into a group competition. Prepare red paper strips the five skill categories, and blue paper strips with the skill examples. In small groups Ss will match the red strips to the blue strips. The first group to have the correct answers is the winner.

2.Discuss: Do we teenagers in Viet Nam need all or some of these skills? ... (P31)

- Give Ss plenty of time to look closer at each skill to discuss the questions in pairs. Then, as a whole class, go through each skill and elicit from them the answers to the questions. Write on the board two lists: one containing the skills Ss think are necessary for Vietnamese teenagers, and one containing those that they think are not.

- As an alternative, Ss work in small groups. After their discussion, each group should cross out the life skills which they think are not suitable for Vietnamese teens. As a whole class, compare the results from different groups. Remember each group will need to explain their decisions.

3. In groups, work out a similar list of skills... (p31)

- Ask Ss to work in small groups to make their own list for Vietnamese teens.

- They can base it on the text and add their own information. Now the class needs to combine all the group lists to make a big list for the whole class.

- Write this list on a poster, or on the board.

4.Look at the list of the life skills for teens that your class has developed... (P31)

- Ask Ss to copy down the ‘big list’ they have created in 3 in their notebooks. Ss then work individually: each student goes through the list and evaluates how good he/she is with each skill. Then Ss work in pairs to share their results.

- If time allows, each pair reports the results to the class. Based on the results, the class will be able to identify three skills that most Ss in the class think they are now good at, and three skills that most of them think they need to improve on.
