A) Introductory part.
Teacher:
In Russia winter is rich in Festivals. It's time to celebrate though it is cold , frosty and snowy, isn't it?
1) Can you name any winter holidays? (They are New Year's Day, Christmas, Old New Year's Eve, Epiphany and Shrovetide.)
All these festivals have deep roots. But in my opinion nowadays people hardly remember about them. I think they just have fun, say goodbye to winter and welcome spring.
B) A talk about Shrovetide.
2) During what season do people celebrate Shrovetide? (They do it when winter meets with spring).
3) How long does usually "Shrovetide’last?
( --- It usually lasts a week.
--- People usually celebrate "Shrovetide’a whole week.)
4) Can we say that people are looking forward to spring?And what about you? Why are we happy to meet spring?
(Учащиеся просматривают слайды компьютерной презентации с весенними пейзажами и отвечают на вопрос)
(---- Spring is one of the beloved seasons for many people. The air is fresh, the trees are light green, the days are long.
---- Everybody likes to leave the house and breathe in the smells of the first flowers, trees and the ground. The snow is melting.
----- The snow is not very white and bright. We enjoy the quickly running streams around us.
----- Birds are coming back from warm lands and making their nests, animals are preparing their shelters.
--- Spring is a promising time for everybody. It is time of hope for a happier time.)
C) A talk about the days of Shrovetide.
Teacher:
III. Last time I asked you to find the information about the days of Shrovetide.
I want to remember you of days of this nice old Festival. Every day has its own name.
(Учащиеся просматривают слайды компьютерной презентации с изображением и описанием на английском языке каждого дня праздника)
Monday was a ‘Meeting ‘day ("Встреча"). It began at 12 a. m. While housewives made pan - cakes children built snow fortresses, made snowmen. There were snow - battles, sledging down the hills, singing , dancing.
Tuesday was ‘Attracting maids and guys’day ("Заигрыши"). Girls organized singing and dancing in a ring. Young men organized fighting games.
Wednesday was a "Dainty Day" ("Лакомка"). The daintiest food on that day were pan- cakes, a symbol of health, long life and fortune [ ]. There were home made pan - cakes and so- called street made pan - cakes.
Thursday. ‘Broad Shrovetide" ("Широкая масленица ") was the top of the week, the culmination. There were maskers, buffoons, merry - go - rounds, different games.
Friday was a "Mother in Law's parties ‘day ("Тещины вечерки"). On this day only children were out of doors, sledging and playing snowballs. Grownups came out only by the evening to visit the wife's relatives. Mother - in - Law's pan - cakes were most tasty.
Saturday was a day of ‘Daughter- in- Law's Sittings" ("Золовкины посиделки’).
The day was divided into 2 parts. The first part was for making snow- and- ice fortresses. During the second part they went to see husband's relatives.
Sunday was the day of "Parting , Saying good-bye" ("Проводы, прощанье ").
Everyone went to their parents to ask for their pardon - it was Forgiving Sunday
(Прощеное воскресенье). People arranged rich Festivals of parting with winter and meeting with spring.
