VI. PROCEDURES:
Steps
Warm up
(4 minutes)

Teachers’ activities
-Teacher divides class into 4 groups.
-Teacher sets the rules: In 1 and a half minutes, name
things which use energy in their houses. Try to list as
many as possible. 2 marks for each right item. Teacher
delivers each group a mini board and a marker.
After 1 and a half minutes, each group will stick their
answer on the board.
-Teacher checks the answers of each group.
-Teacher counts the marks.
Suggested answer:
Computer, lights, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, torch, airconditioner, electric fan, electric cooker, ceiling fan,
microwave oven, iron, washing machine, cell phone,
cassette player,…

Students’ activities
-Work in groups to
figure out the answers
as many as possible.
-Give the answers

Before you

read (16
minutes)

-Teacher has ss look at 3 pictures on student’s book page
124. T asks ss some questions:

-Look at the pictures
in textbooks and
answer the questions.

•

Now look at your ss’ book on page 124. How
many pictures are there in your book?
• What can you see in the pictures?
Suggested answer:
3 pictures
wind mill, solar panel and hydroelectricity dam
-T asks Ss to answer 2 questions:
1. What sources of energy does each picture above refer
to?
2. What do you need energy for?


Suggested answer:
1. wind power, solar energy, water power.
2. We need energy for many kinds of work in the life such
as cooking meal, lighting, heating or cooling the house,
running machines….
Introduce the new lesson: You have just figured out

some kinds of sources of energy and their use. Now we
are going to learn more about alternative sources of
energy.
- T teaches some new words:
1.windmill (n): cối xay gió
wind power (n): năng lượng gió
2.solar panel (n): tấm pin năng lượng mặt trời
solar energy (n): năng lượng mặt trời
3. hydroelectricity dam (n): đập thủy điện
water power (n): năng lượng nước
4.nuclear energy (n): năng lượng hạt nhân
5.fossil fuel (n): nhiên liệu hóa thạch
6.alternative (adj): thay thế
7.geothermal heat (n): địa nhiệt
8.reserve (n): nguồn dự trữ
9.release (v): thải ra
10.exhausted (adj): cạn kiệt
11.available (adj): có sẵn
12.infinite (adj): = unlimited: vô tận
13.plentiful (adj): phong phú
14. potential (adj): tiềm năng
15. make use of (v): tận dụng
-T asks the whole class to repeat all the new words
Checking vocabulary: Gap – Fill(Task 1/p 125)
-T asks Ss to work in pairs and fill in each blank with a
suitable word from the vocabulary.
1- Six hundred balloons were ..............at the ceremony.
2- We are looking for ..............methods of making it.
3-People use …………… to run machines, heat, and
cool their homes.

4- The food in the restaurant is cheap, but the choice is
rather.................. .
5- Fuel supplies are nearly ...................................... .
-T has Ss work individually in 2 minutes to do the task.
-T calls some Ss to answer and check.
Suggested answer: 1.released 2. alternative 3.energy
4.limited 5.exhausted

-Take note
-Listen and repeat

-Do the exercise
-Take note


While you
read (20
minutes)

Task 2/p. 126
-T prepares a poster beforehand then hangs it on the
board. T also prepares the word cards.

-Find the correct

-T asks Ss to read the passage and put the word cards on
the correct column

Sources of energy

Advantages

Disadvantages

T may do an example.
After 4 minutes, T calls Ss to go to the board and stick
the words on the correct places.
T gives feedback.
Suggested answer:

Sources of energy
Nuclear power

Task 3/p.126
-T asks Ss to work in pairs and answer 2 questions on the
book and one extra question.
1/ What is our major source of energy?
2/ How many sources of energy are mentioned in the
text, and which one do you think has the most potential?
3/ Why must people develop and use alternative sources
of energy? (extra question)

After 5 minutes, T will divide class into 4 groups and
introduce the game “Lucky energy”
There are pictures represent kinds of energy: solar, wind,
water, and nuclear energy.
Behind each picture there is one question and the points.
Each team will take turn to choose one picture and
answer the question. If the team can give the correct
answer, they will have chance to receive the points of
that question. If they cannot give the correct answer, the
other teams will have chance to answer. If they can give
the correct answer, they will get the points.
There is one picture that there is no question behind it,
which called “lucky energy”. The team that chooses the
lucky energy will get the points without having to answer
any question.

-Work in group and
play the game


Suggested answer:
1/Our major source of energy comes from fossil fuel.
2/Five sources of energy are mentioned in the text. Solar
energy has the most potential because it is not only
plentiful and infinite but also clean and safe. (Ss may
give their own opinions)
3/ Because power demand is increasing very rapidly,
fossil fuels will be exhausted within a relatively short
time.
After you
