which’.
a. Presentation.
- Get Ss to read the example in the textbook:
NewYork Habour, which is ice- free in all seasons, is
one of the largest and finest habours in the world.
- Present the form, meaning and use of non- defining
and defining relative clauses with
“ which”
+ Form: - The relative pronoun “ which” can function
as a subject or an object in non- defining and defining
relative clauses.
Eg:
Subject:
Hanoi, which is the capital city of Viet nam , is located
on the Red river.
Whole class, individual work, pair
work and group work.
Read the example in the text book .
- Study the example carefully and
know the function of relative
pronoun.
- Write down the form :
The relative pronoun “ which” can
function as a subject or an object in
non- defining and defining relative
clauses.
Eg: Subject:
The school, which was built in
1960, is very old.
Vietnam is the coutry which hosted APEC 2006.
Object:
Hanoi, which I love so much, is my hometown
- We need to place a comma to separate a non- defing
relative clause from the main clause if it comes at the
end of the sentence and two commas if it is inserted
within the sentence. We don’t need a comma in the
case of defining relative clauses.
+ Meaning: A clause introduced by a relative pronoun
+ Use: We use defining relative clauses to give
essential information to define or identify the thing we
are talking about. Obviously, this is only necessary if
there is more than one thing involved.
We use non- defining relative clauses not to define or
identify things but to add more information to the
things we are talking about. Without this additional
information, the sentence still makes sense because it is
already clear what things we are talking about.
- Ask Ss to practice making sentences with both non-
defining and defining relative clause.
B. Practice:
- Get Ss to do exercise 1 individually.
- Check with the whole class and provide corrective
feedback.
- Give more extra exercise to practice defining and non-
defining relative.
c. Production:
- Ask Ss to make more sentences with defining relative
clauses and non- defining relative .
- Go around and give offer if necessary.
- Call on some students to give the answers in front of
the class.

Eg: Ha noi city, which is in the North of Viet nam, is
the capital of Viet nam.
Object:
Do you like the present which I
gave you yesterday?
- Listen to the teacher’s explaining
and take note the use and meaning
of relative pronoun.
+ Meaning: A clause introduced by
a relative pronoun
+ Use: We use defining relative
clauses to give essential
information to define or identify
the thing we are talking about. .
We use non- defining relative
clauses not to define or identify
things but to add more information
to the things we are talking about.

Period 95 FEEDBACK FOR 45-minute WRITTEN TEST 4
Question I:
Most of the students failed to give the correct answers to the items. Among the items
number 1, 4 and 5 are the most difficult. Only 10% of the students had the correct answers so
it should be made easier for the later use.
Question II:
Items 1, 2, 7 are not too difficult but few students can answer correctly. It can be seen
that students are not good at vocabulary.
Question III:
Nearly half of the students can give the correct answers to the items so they are quite
reasonable but some students need improvement on using verb forms.
Question IV:
Item 2 is quite difficult with only 20% correct answers. In general students are weak at
making questions.
Question V:
More than 80% of the students can give the correct answers. It's quite reasonable for
students.
Question VI:
This kind of exercise is quite difficult so most of the students have difficulty in writing
full sentences. Writing skill should be paid more attention while teaching.
III. Answer key:
IV. Homework:
- Do the test again.
