План урока
Hello everybody, I’m very glad to be with you today. May I ask you a question? How are you? There are many guests at our lesson. Are you nervous? Indifferent? Why? Do you know the topic for today’s lesson? I’ll read you a passage of a poem; you have to listen to it carefully and try to guess the topic of the lesson.
The earth is a garden,
It’s a beautiful place
For all living creatures,
For all the human race.
Right you are.
Today you’ll refresh the text “Countries and Continents” to get the details of it, then you’ll refresh the names of some countries, their capitals, languages, nationalities. At the end of the lesson you will be able to compile a poster or a project and present it.
First of all let’s brainstorm the meaning of the word “Earth”, tell me your ideas and I’ll build up a mind map.
Summing up I should say that the Earth includes everything: continents, countries
Now scan the text and fill in the table.
| oceans | continents | the largest country | the smallest country | the continent and the country |
|
|
Have you already filled the table? Let’s check it up.
Read the first column, please. What about continents? Name the largest country, the smallest country, the continent and the country.
You have just learnt some facts about Geography. Could you answer the questions?
- What is the name of the planet we live on?
- What will you be able to see if you look at the Earth from the space?
- How many oceans are there on our planet?
- How many continents are there on it? What are they?
- What separates the continents from each other?
- There are many countries on each continent, aren’t there?
- What is the largest country in the world?
Let us review the names of some countries, their capitals, languages and nationalities. Look through these slides and refresh your knowledge.
Do you like the presentation? Take these sheets of paper and try to do your task
1) Could you give the name of the continent which is the same as the name of the country situated on it? What language do people speak there? What is its capital? Find its national flag and describe it.
2) Could you give the name of the largest country in the world? What language do people speak there? What is its capital? Find its national flag and describe it.

Today we’ve got more information about the planet we live on. We haven’t forgotten about oceans, continents, countries. People of different nationalities live in different countries. They speak different languages. Each country has its national flag, anthem and its own traditions and customs.
Work in groups of four and tell the class what new information about the Earth and people on it you’ve learnt. Make a poster about the Earth. Think about:
1) the Earth from the space
2) the continents
3) the countries
4) people, nationalities, languages.
You can use drawings and pictures.
And now present your posters to your classmates. These expressions can help you.
- Let us present our poster.
- This is our Earth. It is …. (round, big, friendly….)
- There are … (oceans, continents, countries…) on it.
- We want to tell you about …
- The capital of … is …
- The colours of the national flag are… (The flag is …)
- People in … speak …
- Nationality in this country is ….
- I think, this country is ….
- We love our planet. We are its friends!
You’ve worked well. Thank you for your activity! Did you enjoy it? I think it was wonderful. I am satisfied with your work.
I’ve begun our today’s lesson with the passage of the poem “Hug the Earth”. Will you read this poem whole? Then, your home task is to read it and try to do a literary translation.
Walking along feeling free,
Feeling the earth here with me,
And I love her, she loves me,
I hug the Earth, the Earth hugs me.
She’s our friend,
We’d like to be together forever.
The earth is a garden,
It’s a beautiful place
For all living creatures,
For all the human race.
Helping Mother Earth,
We can peacefully roam,
We all deserve a place,
We can call our home.
Now, it’s high time to say Goodbye. Thank you for your work. Good luck to you.
