b. Homework
- Do exercises in the workbook.
- Start preparing for the Project of the unit:
Teacher asks Ss to open their book p.69, look at the picture and say what the topic of the project is (I know my ______ well). They will design a poster and

present it at the end of this Unit.


- Explain the project requirements: this is an individual project. Each student will interview a member of their family about his / her life when he / she was the
student’s age, using the question suggestions. Then each student will make a poster to present their findings. The poster should include a mixture of text and
pictures so that T and other classmates can easily follow and get to know clearly about that member.
- Guide Ss how to conduct the interview and collect data. Here are the steps T can follow:
Step 1. Have Ss ask the interviewee the questions about his / her life in the past They may ask questions about different aspects of life or focus on one aspect.
Remind Ss that they can ask the questions as suggested in the project or create their own questions. For example (with focus on one aspect):
- What school did you go to?
- Did you have to wear a uniform?
- What was learning like then?
- How do you describe the relationship between teachers and students then?
- How did you spend time after school?
T may invite one student to interview the teacher as a model. This way T can teach Ss how to conduct the interview and record the answers in a survey.
Step 2. Instruct Ss to create a table to record their family member’s answers. The table may look like this:

Family member Questions Answers

What school did you go to?

Did you have to wear a uniform?

What was learning like then?

How do you describe the relationship between teachers and


students then?

How did you spend time after school?

Step 3. Instruct Ss how to make the poster.


For the text: Ss choose only the key information to present in their poster. They must be in short form. The findings should be grouped and presented according to
the order of the questions asked.
For the pictures: Ss may have pictures of the family member individually or with family. Whatever they are, they must illustrate the information in the poster.
Step 4. Model how to report the findings to the class. Ss may open their presentation with “I have interviewed my______ about his / her life in the past when he /
she was my age. Here are the findings.”
In each of the next lessons, spend a few minutes checking Ss’ progress, helping them with any topic-related or functional language they need and solving any
other problems that may arise with their projects.

where students are having difficulties. Firstly, nuclear families have replaced extended ones.
In the past, there were usually three generations living
together in a household. Now, there are often two:
parents and children. The generation gap has become
less obvious.
Secondly, Vietnamese people are traditionally family-
oriented. Holidays in the past mostly meant gathering,
cooking and eating. Now, more families go out, visit a
place, play and eat. Overall, holidays have become
more relaxing and less tiring.
Lastly, families in the past spent more time talking
and doing things together. Children came to their
elders to share their experiences and look for answers
to their questions. Today’s children have more
opportunities to learn from other sources. They do not
depend all on their elders. While they listen to their
parents, they want their parents to listen to them, too.
The relation between parents and children is more
democratic. Parents have learned to respect their
children’s independence and privacy.
