Ход урока:

1. Вступительное слово учителя.

Good morning! I am very glad to see you in a body! We have an unusual lesson today, it`s the presentation of two albums. The first album is about the most imposing historical sights of London, the second one is about monarchy. There are two creative groups here. The first one is called “The golden crown”, the second one is called “The Albion”. You can see some guests, sitting to the left-hand side and to the right-hand side from me. Let me introduce Mr. Alan Levy, the representative of Foreign and Commonwealth office, London. The aim of our measure is to generalize and to enrich our knowledge about Britain.

Звучат слова гимна или сам гимн:

 

The U.K. is an abbreviation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Southern Ireland is a completely independent state: the Republic of Ireland (also called Eire). It took centuries and a lot of armed struggle to form the United Kingdom.

 

2. Беседа учителя с учащимся о флаге.

  • Do you know anything about the Union Jack?
  • What does the upright red cross symbolize? (It`s the cross of St. George, the patron saint of England.)
  • What does the white diagonal cross symbolize?(It`s the cross of St. Andrew the patron saint of Scotland.)
  • What does the red diagonal cross symbolize?(It`s the cross of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.)
  • Why is Wales not represented in the Union Flag?(Because, when the 1 st version of the flag appeared, Wales was already united with England.)
  • And I must say that it dates from the 15 th century and is widely used throughout the Principality.

 

3. Ведущий:

Britain has more living symbols of its past than many other countries.

It still has a royal family and a small nobility. It`s capital, other cities and countryside have preserved many palaces, castles and cathedrals and grand mansions of the nobility. During the 20 th century the monarchy became still more popular than in the times of Queen Victoria in the 19 th century. Since 1952, when Elizabeth 2 nd became queen, the popularity of the monarchy has been steadly growing.

Nоw, let me start our presentation. The plan of it is the following:

  1. The presentation of 2 albums.
  2. Questions.
  3. The presentation of 2 posters.
  4. A conversation with the quests.
  5. Video.
  6. Resolution.

I pass a word to the group “The Albion”.

There are some Puzzles: Shopping Puzzle and Parks Puzzle in our album.

2 ученик: - The Giant`s Causeway lies on the north coast of northern Ireland. It`s an impressive formation of some 40.000 basalt columns descending like a giant staircase into the sea. According to legend the columns are an attempt to cross the sea to the Scottish coast.

3 ученик: - Stonehenge, the most prehistoric monument in Britain, is on Solisbury Plain in the country of Wiltshire.

There are many mysterious surroundings about this site. It has been suggested that it once operated as a massive astronomical clock, and there are even suggestions that it was a landing site for UFOs (Unidentified Flyng Objects)!

Ведущий: - Thank you very much. And now I pass a world to the group “The golden crown”.

1 ученик: - Our album  is about monarchy.

It contents a very interesting information about the power of the Queen; here you can find an interesting information about Queen`s coronation in 1953 ,about Queen`s husband Prince Philip. There`s a Royal Line of Succession, here you can see the places with its link with the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth IInd is not just the Queen of Britain, she is the Head of the State of 18 countries and the Symbolic Head of the Commonwealth.

2 ученик: - The crown and the Government are the symbol of supreme executive power. The Queen summons, prorogues and dissolves Parliamant. She normally opens the new session of Parliament with a speech from the throne. In law the Queen as a private person can do no wrong, she can not be sued in courts of law. The Queen makes appointments to many important state officies. She has the power to conclude treaties, to declare war and to make peace, to recognize foreign states and to annex and cede territory.

3 ученик: -The Royal Prerogative mainly comprises executive government -powers controlled by constitutional conventions. In addition to being informed and consulted about all aspects of national life, the Queen is free to put forward her own views, in private, for the consideration of the Ministers.
