Age: 7-8 years

Duration: 50 min

Objectives

  • Connect a reason to a daily choice: "I bring an umbrella because it is rainy."
  • Write three complete because-clause sentences about personal habits.

Vocab

  • why / because: "Why are you happy?" / "Because I got a new book."
  • reason / explain: "Give one reason." / "Explain your choice."
  • so: Optional stretch — "It is cold, so I wear a coat."

Warm-up (5min)

Teacher shows three pictures (rain, homework, birthday cake). Students ask "Why?" — teacher answers with because sentences. Class echoes pattern.

Main Activity (40min): "Logical Chain Game"

Round 1 — Pair Q&A: Partner A asks "Why do you ___?" about school, food, or hobbies. Partner B answers with because + full clause. Swap roles for 6 exchanges. Round 2 — Chain on board: first student says a because sentence; next student asks why about that reason, building a 4-link chain. Round 3 — Write three sentences on worksheet: (1) morning habit (2) favorite subject (3) weekend activity. Peer check: circle because in partner's work. Volunteers read best sentence aloud.

Wrap-up (5min)

Exit sticky: "I study English because ___." Share with neighbor.

Teacher Tips

  • G2 opens Movers analytical speaking — because must introduce a clause, not a single word.
  • Common L1 error: "Because tired" — model "Because I am tired."
  • Bridge from K3/G1 feelings because to logical explanation across topics.
