Activity 1 Listen and repeat. Objective: to warm up; to learn the poem Play the DVD. The pupils listen and repeat the poem. Look at Unit 10, Lesson 1 Warm up activity for the DVD script.
Activity 2 Play “Months quiz”. Objectives: to check the homework; to develop the pupils’ logical thinking. STEP 1: Put Lesson 2 Homework 2 papers that you collected last lesson in a box. Mix them well.
STEP 2: Divide the class into 2 groups. Tell the groups that they will play the Months Quiz. Explain that you will take out of the box a sheet of paper and read aloud the quiz on it for Group 1. The group must find the answer in one attempt. If they cannot, they will miss a go, and you will ask Group 2 to answer. If Group 2 find the answer, they will get a point, etc. The group with the most points will be the winner.
Activity 3 Look, read and complete. Objectives: to consolidate the pupils’ knowledge on the gender; to develop the pupils’ logical thinking. STEP 1: Draw the pupils’ attention to the pictures and the speech bubbles. Tell them the meaning of the word “birthday” and the sentences in the speech bubbles. Have them repeat the word “birthday” and Zumrad and Jasur’s sentences after you in chorus. Then ask them to open their Workbooks and complete the sentences about Zumrad and Jasur.
STEP 2: When they finish, check if they have done the activity correctly. Ask what they have written in the first sentence and why they did so. Then ask about the second sentence. Sum up the answers in the mother tongue saying that the correct answer for the first sentence is “His birthday is in July” because the possessive pronoun “his” at the beginning of the sentence is telling us about the masculine gender. The masculine here is Jasur, and he is saying “My birthday is in July”. The correct answer for the second sentence is “Her birthday is in August” because the possessive pronoun “her” at the beginning of the sentence is telling us about the feminine gender. The feminine here is Zumrad, and she is saying “My birthday is in August”.
