T: Dear colleagues. I’m glad to see you on this unusual day for me. Glad to see you – nice women, handsome men, interesting teachers, young teachers, serious teachers. Today you’re my guests at my lesson. You’ll see my pupils, rest and meet old and new friends.
Don’t be too serious. Let’s think about future Christmas and New Year, about past and future. Don’t think about my and pupil’s mistakes. Forget about tasks and marks. Be happy, don’t worry!
Good-morning, dear children, I’m glad to see you at the lesson today. I hope you are all right and ready to work hard. So many guests have come to our lesson and I believe that you’ll do your best and our friends will be pleased and satisfied with your answers.
2. Вступительное слово учителя, объявление плана урока, обсуждение цитаты.
T: OK. Today we are going to have an unusual lesson. It’ll be a trip to London. (На экране появляется вид Лондона). We’re going to talk about travelling, sights of London, visiting public places. (На экране появляется эпиграф урока: ‘World is a book and those who don’t travel, read only one page’).
T: St. Augustine once said: ’The world is a book and those who don’t travel, read only one page’.
How do you understand this quotation, these wise words? (These abbreviations will help you in expressing your opinions).
IQAW (I quite agree with…)
IT(I think…)
TMM (To my mind…)
AFAIU (As far as I understand…)
ISTM(It seems to me..)
P1: I quite agree with this statement, because the world is big and when you travel you learn a lot of interesting and amazing things.
P2: I think when you meet people from other countries you have a chance to talk with them about cities and countries where they live.
P3: As far as I understand, if we travel we learn much about the world and understand the world and people better.
P4: And it seems to me, we can improve our English, if we visit an English speaking country.
P5: To my mind travelling is an exciting thing.
P6: He who hasn’t travelled doesn’t really know the world.
P7: The world is a book and London is its wonderful page.
T: What ways of travelling do you know? What is your favourite method of travelling?
P1: We can travel by boat, by car, by coach, by train or by plain.
P2: The quickest way is by plain, so we’ll choose this kind of transport.
3. Драматизация ситуации на борту самолета. Приветствие стюардессы и пилота.
T: Let’s dream a little. Imagine that you aren’t students now, you are tourists. I’m your group leader and you’re on board the plane. The pilot is going to take off and the stewardess is ready to speak.
(На экране борт самолета, высвечивается табло ‘Fasten Seatbelt’, внутри самолета).
