III. Checking – Up of Homework (Контроль домашней работы). Проверяется правильность понимания текста домашнего задания (Приложение 1: текст “Native Americans”)

Teacher: That's right. The United States are sometimes called a “melting pot”, because people from all over the world have mixed together to create modern American society. But the Native Americans, called Indians, came from Asia.

Teacher: You have studied the text “Native Americans” at home. Say after me some new words from the text.

Alaska	Bering Strait	tribe
Asia	Ohio River	migrant
	Wisconsin

Now let's read the text.

Now please agree or disagree with following statements. Say “That’s right” if the statement is true and “That’s not right” if the statement is false. If false, correct the statement.

1. The first American Indians came to Alaska from Asia (That's right).
2. From Alaska the Indians travelled southward. (That's right)
3. The migrants belonged to one tribe. (That's not right).
4. Different tribes had the same languages. (That's not right).
5. Each of these languages has its own grammar and vocabulary. (That's right).
6. The first Indians hunted and gathered wild fruit, berries and other food in the forest. (That's right).

After many centuries some of the tribes learned how to grow Indian corn. (That's right).

IV. Group Work (Работа в группах).

Teacher: You know there are more than two hundred of different tribes lived in the USA. Their names are: Apache, Cherokee, Creek, Grow, Delaware, Sioux [su:] and others. And I'd like you to describe some of these tribes. So, divide into groups of two or three and take the texts with exercises. Your task is to describe your tribe.
