ХОД УРОКА

T: Good morning, everyone! I mean you, pupils and our highly respected guests. Today we  have unusual lesson-we’re going to show our project “ W. Shakespeare”. And what was the reason to make up such project?

P:  We wanted to enlarge the knowledge about W. Shakespeare’s life and his creative work.

T:  Sure, you are quite right. So, let’s start to show what we’ve learnt.

(On the blackboard there is a scheme according to which we have found and learnt the material about W. Shakespeare’s  life and creation. Схема в Приложении 1)

P1: I’d like to tell you about Stradford-on-Avon is the place where the greatest dramatist and poet of the English literature W. Shakespeare was born and died (1564-1616).April 23-d is the day on which Shakespeare was born and also the day on which he died.
Stratford is a very interesting town in the center of England. There are beautiful woods, green fields, a quiet gentle river-the winding Avon-the lonely houses, black and white with thatched roofs in Stratford.
The main centres of interest include the Birthplace itself, Anne Hathaway’s Cattage (the early home of Shakespeare’s wife), the foundations and gardens of New Place (where Shakespeare died), Hall’s Croft (the home of his daughter, Susanna), Mary Aden’s House (the home of the poet’s mother) at Wilmcote, the red brick Shakespeare Memorial Theatre and the beautiful Holy trinity Church (which is Shakespeare’s burial place).

P2: W.Shakespeare was born in the house in Henly Street preserved as his birthplace. There is the very room where Shakespeare was born. A lots of people who had visited the house had written their names on the walls, among them are Walter Scott, Dickens and Thackeray.
In one room is a little wooden desk, the very desk that Shakespeare sat in when he went to a grammar school in Stratford. There is a garden behind the house, in it are growing all the flowers, trees and plants that are mentioned in Shakespeare plays.
In Stratford is the church where Shakespeare is buried. There’s a bust of Shakespeare that was carved by a Dutch sculpture who lived near Shakespeare’s Globe Theater and must have seen Shakespeare many a time, and on the stone of Shakespeare grave are the lines written by Shakespeare himself.

P3: Now let’s speak about W. Shakespeare, the greatest English poet and dramatist. He was born on April 23, 1564 in Stratford-(up)on-Avon, Warwickshire, in England.
His father John was a man of some importance in Stratford. He was one in the town offices and a dealer in corn, meat leather, and other products of the farm.
The poets mother, Mary Arden, was one of the eight daughters of Robert Arden, a rich farmer in the village of Wilmcote, where the Arden farmstead may still be seen.
John and Mary lived in a well- built house of rough stone which was two stories high with a small windows cut in the roof. The house is still standing. It is now a museum.
W. Shakespeare was born here in a small room. Very little is known about the life of William, about his early years. At the age of seven he was send to Stratford Grammar School where he studies for six years. Later his father fell into debt and took his son from the school and for some time he had to help his father in the trade. William never went to school again. Just what he did between his fourteenth and eighteenth year is not known.
In 1582, when little more than eighteen, William married Anne Hathaway. Ann was eight years older than her husband and that marriage was not a happy one. In 1583 their daughter Sussanna was born and in 1585 their twins named Hamnet and Judith were born.

P4: When William was 21, he left for London, where he had to go through many difficulties. He became an actor and soon began to write plays for the company of actors to which he belonged. Very many of his plays were acted in a London theatre called “The Globe”.
A lot of time Shakespeare spent changing old plays which the actors themselves could not do. Every day play that he took in hand, he made into something different and far better. Then he began to write plays himself. W. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays altogether. He is also known as the author of two poems and 154 sonnets.

P5: I’d like to tell you the sonnet which I like most of all.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red then her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasant sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she believed with false compare.

 P6: By an odd chance, England’s greatest writer, W. Shakespeare, was born on St. George’s Day, Warwickshire, and also died on the saint’s day in1616. Every 23rd April is now a day of special pageantry in Stratford.
The birthday usually begins early in the morning with the ringing of the bells early in the morning of holy Trinity Church where Shakespeare buried. Flags from many nations are unfurled, they are on all shops and houses. Along the main street about 100 tall poles have been put up. Soon bugles are blown and then one after another a flag appears at the top of each pole. Each flag is of different country.
In the afternoon a band playing music and followed by many people marches up to the street. The Mayor leads a distinguished procession to lay flowers on Shakespeare’s grave.
At night people go to the beautiful theater by the side of the river Avon. Here they see one of his plays acted by some of the greatest actors in the country. And every night from April till October every seat in this theatre is filled by people from all parts of the world.
Shakespeare was probably proud to celebrate his birthday on the feast of great St. George. In one of his plays he shows how ordinary English people were stirred by their brave patron saint.
Just before his soldiers go into battle, their King, Henry V, tells them to shout:”God for Harry, England and Saint George!”

P7: Visitors to the little house in Henley Street now approach from the garden, having passed through the reception foyer of the modern Shakespeare Centre. The centre itself was opened in 1964 as an international tribute to the 4000-th anniversary of the bard’s birth.
Visitors can take their time, get a sense of period by seeing the costumes used in the BBC television productions of the plays and see the work of celebrated sculptors and artists.
Next door, in the main building, headquarters of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, the glass frontage has been engraved with Shakespearean characters by John Hutton, who did the saints on the west window of Coventry Cathedral.
The library here is an amalgamation of the Trust’s own rare books and those of the Royal Shakespeare company. Here you’ll find acting editions of the plays and the other theatrical material in 70 languages, including Japanese, Icelandic, Tamil and Armenian.
The Trust also maintains a records office with archives going back to medieval times and, at the other extreme, video tapes of productions of the plays.
But the Shakespeare Centre sees its leading role as a teaching and study centre. Upstairs their is a place for lectures and seminars. Students come from all over the world to listen or do original research while looking down over the house and garden of Shakespeare childhood.

T: Well, children, thank you very much for so full information about Shakespeare’s life and his creation. I think that in future you’ll read a lot of books by W. Shakespeare and see a lot of plays.
