Ход урока

I. Warming up.

Слайд №1

А. Today we are going to speak about school: school as learning and teaching process, school as a way of life, school as our Alma Mater. We start with a dialogue. Look at the slide.

Read the dialogue and comment it on.

      Слайд №2

- I taught my dog how to speak.

- I never heard him talking.

- I said I taught, I didn’t say he learned.

Учащиеся комментируют диалог. Основная идея которого – нельзя никого научить чему либо, можно только научиться.

Teacher: So we all agree that we should learn and what is more important – want to learn. Education plays an important role in our life.

  6. Experience is…
  7. What we learn with pleasure..
 but the lighting of a fire.
but the fruit is sweet.
that is the goal of true education.
for old age.
thank a teacher.
the best teacher.
we never forget.

Teacher: I give you two minutes and I would like you to memorize these quotations. Then I will show you the first parts of them and you will try to add the second ones.

Now we are going to read the text about a girl with extraordinary talent, then we’ll do some exercises to check it up and then we’ll discuss some ideas associated with the text.

Учитель раздает учащимся карточки. Это вопросы и ответы в смешанном порядке.

Слайд № 7

If you have got more questions you can ask me.

V. Opinion poll. Teacher: School is a good place to be. What do students think about our school? Some students from our group have made opinion poll about school. Now they are presenting the results of their work. Two students show the results on the slides. The task to all the rest – Try to guess which answer was the most popular and which one was the least popular.

Во время анкетирования ученикам было задано 13 вопросов. В презентацию для работы было включено – 5. Остальные можно посмотреть в Приложение № 3.

Слайд № 13

Card for students.

A History test

One day we were back from our ski completions. (1. Describe the ski competitions. Use Past Perfect).

Next day we would have a test on History. (2. Describe the History test).

As it should take place after classes everybody tried to make up a reason for not going to the test. (3. Describe the reasons the students made up).

My friend and I made up our minds to go and pass the test as we couldn’t find any arguments not to go. Our History teacher met us in the classroom “It’s great that you have come”, she said and we took our seats. (4. Describe the teacher and the classroom)

She gave us copybooks and papers with tasks. “You have 45 minutes to carry the task out”, she said strictly and looked at the watch. Of course we didn’t know anything but as they say hope springs eternal in the human breast.

And…what a surprise! Together with the task paper there was the list with keys! (5. Describe the state of the boys).

We gave no sign that nothing wrong was happening, copied all the answers and happily went home laughing at those who hadn’t come to the test.

Next day ….(6. Finish the story)

VII. Contest.

А. Teacher: Now you will have a little contest. Let’s devote it to the 20th birthday of our favourite school. The first part of it I will show you pieces of some places of our school and you should guess what place it is and describe it in some words.

Слайды № 14–18

B. Teacher: The second part of the contest is to make up a “Five-line stanza”. По-русски это звучит как “Синквейн”. "Сinq" во французском значит пять. Синквейн это пятистрочная строфа.

Teacher: Here are the rules what a five-line stanza consists of:

  1. The first line has got one word consisting of one syllable. It can be the title of the poem.
  2. The second line has got four syllables. It describes the subject, topic.
  3. The third line consists of six syllables. It describes actions.
  4. The fourth line consists of eight syllables. It describes something special about the topic, some feelings.
  5. The last line consists of two syllables. It should give the description.
    1. Первая строка содержит одно двуслоговое слово. Это может быть названием стихотворения.
    2. Вторая строка содержит четыре слога (описывает предмет, тему стихотворения)
    3. Шесть слогов (действие)
    4. Восемь слогов (что-нибудь о предмете: чувства, что-либо особое)
    5. Два слога (описание)
