Lesson 2 "Let's go on a picnic"

Вчитель: Берегуля О.Ю.

The Procedure of the Lesson

I. Introduction. Greeting (Memory Game)
The teacher picks some food items and lays them all in a tray. Then she passes the tray around for pupils to see. The teacher removes the tray from sight and pupils try to list what was on the tray. The person that lists the most objects is the winner.

II. Brainstorming
T: Read, think and draw how you imagine it:

Can a parrot eat a carrot
Standing on its head?

(Addition 1)
III. Vocabulary Practice:
T: Read the poem and underline “food” words. Say what food you like:

I LIKE FOOD (Addition 2)

I like carrots, I like peas,
I like cabbage, I like cheese,
I like mushrooms, I like beans,
I like apples and that means:
I like food, anyway you cook it!
I like food, anyway you look at it!
I like food, cold or hot,
I like food, I like it a lot!

I like chocolate, I like potatoes,
I like chicken, I like tomatoes,
I like eggs, I like bread
I like fish, as I’ve said:
I like plums, I like custard,
I like leeks, I like mustard,
I like ice-cream, I like toast.
Can you guess what I like most?

IV. Homework Checking
Some of the pupils present their projects

V. Presenting Grammar:
The teacher explains the rule:
How do you count uncountable nouns? You can’t, but you can measure them. You have to use “counters”!
You can put something into a container to count it, but the thing you’re counting doesn’t take the plural form. The container takes the plural form:

How much ….? = uncountable nouns
For example: How much coffee do you drink?
How many ….? = countable nouns
For example: How many cups of coffee do you drink?

VI. Relaxation: “The Picnic Basket” ( sung to “The Mulberry Bush”)
Here we go round
The picnic basket,

So early
In the morning.

VII. Practising Grammar:

1) Speaking

The teacher divides the class into two groups. Then he / she says nouns and the groups in turn add “how much” or “how many”. Each correct answer gets 1 point. The group with the most points is the winner.
Teacher:         cheese                       Teacher:              water
Group A S1 : how much cheese?    Group A S2 :      how many water?
Teacher:         eggs                           Teacher:              Wrong! “How much water?”
Group B S1 : how many eggs?                                  Group A gets no point.

Post-Listening: Memory Game

Pupils sit in a circle and start with the letter “A” : I’m going on a picnic and I’m going to bring (name something with an “A.”) The next pupil has to remember what the “A” item was and add a “B” item, so on and so forth. It’s fun when the pupils have to remember a bunch!

IX. Home Assignment:

Pupils have to make a project

Project “My Picnic Basket”

Pupils draw and cut picnic baskets.
Then they decorate, paint, or colour the baskets as they choose.
Pupils take several magazines with a lot of food item pictures to choose from. The pupils may then choose the food they would like to take with them on a picnic.
Pupils cut the pictures and place them in the basket.
