Lead - in (5 minutes) Show some interesting DIY works (pictures or real objects if possible), like hand - made paper - cuttings, small wooden crafts. Ask students: “Do you like these hand - made things? Have you ever done any DIY? What did you make?” Introduce the topic of this unit “Hands - on Fun” and explain that today we will learn about different DIY activities. 2. Presentation (10 minutes) Present the new words and phrases about DIY activities: “Making mooncakes”, “Painting a wall”, “Making lanterns”, “Putting together a shelf” by showing pictures one by one. Read them aloud and have students repeat. For the sentence patterns, present the conversation between Millie and Suzy. Analyze the key sentences: “What are you going to do?”, “I’m going to make...”, “What do you need to make them?”, “Can I make...with you?”. Explain the usage of these sentences for talking about future plans and requests in DIY. 3. Practice (15 minutes) Activity A: Let students do the matching exercise (match pictures with activities). Ask them to work individually first, then check the answers together. For example, picture 1 shows a person painting a wall, so it matches “b Painting a wall”. Activity B: Divide students into pairs. Let them practice the conversation model. First, read the model conversation together. Then, ask them to make their own conversations about what they want to make (e.g., making paper planes, hand - made cards). Walk around to offer help if needed. Select some pairs to perform their conversations in front of the class. 4. Production (10 minutes) Activity C: Have a class discussion about “Do you think making things by hand is fun? Why or why not?”. Let students think for a while, then share their ideas. Encourage them to give as many reasons as possible, such as “It’s fun because we can create something unique” or “It’s not fun because it may take a lot of time”. Summarize students’ opinions and guide them to express their thoughts clearly in English. 5. Summary (3 minutes) Review the new words and phrases about DIY activities. Recap the key sentence patterns for talking about DIY plans and experiences. Emphasize the importance of hands - on activities and the fun of DIY. 6. Homework (2 minutes) Ask students to write a short passage (at least 50 words) about a DIY activity they have done or want to do.
