IV. Teacher:
Last lesson we read an opinion of a modern expert about the problem:
What traits of character should a good politician have? (English 10 – 11 p. 54, ex. 1).
Which ideas of the expert do you agree or disagree with? (Hometask - поверяется домашнее задание по учебнику).
V. Teacher:
It was an opinion of a modern expert and your own understanding of the problem. And now read the point of view of the medieval (средневековый) author Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527). N. Machiavelli was an Italian politician and writer who was blamed for being cunning (коварный) and deceitful in politics. He wrote political essays, plays and books. The Prince is his most famous book (1513).
1. Here are some ideas expressed by the author in his book.
Do you think the point of view of the medieval author differs from that of the modern one?
Read, please, again. (Учащиеся читают текст дважды и после второго раза отвечают на вопрос). Ex.2,p.54
2. Which traits of character necessary for a politician mentioned in exercise 1 on page 54 correspond to the ideas of Niccolo Machiavelli.
And now, have a rest, please. (Gymnastics for eyes).

Mr. Samual Slumkey is the candidate to Parliament support by Blues. M. Parker is his helper, a committeeman, his advisor. The election began the next day.

Then, our girls translated all the opinions.
IX. Teacher:
Very soon you’ll be 18 and have the right to vote. Do you care what kind of people will represent you and your region in the Federal Assembly.
И.Г. Юферева – учитель английского языка.
1. Идеальный политик - это человек своего времени; тот, который делает нужное дело в нужное время и в нужном месте. «Политическая интуиция», особое чутье на социальную обстановку, на требование времени – это то, без чего не может быть политика. Это человек с мировым кругозором, осознающий свое место в истории. Его будут судить потомки. Итак, главное - ответственность перед людьми, миром и Богом.
2. Политики, достойные уважения: В.Путин, Д. Медведев.
В.А. Шибанова - учитель русского языка и литературы.
1. Хороший политик должен быть прежде всего честным. Он должен быть близок к народу, почаще бывать среди народа, как Петр I; умный, хорошо образованный. Настоящий политик должен быть гражданином своей страны, должен доводить все начатое до конца, строго следить за исполнением своего приказа.
2. Политики, достойные уважения: Петр I, В.Путин, С. Иванов.
Е.А. Микрюкова – учитель физики.
1. Идеальный политик, по мнению большинства политологов, должен быть честным, грамотным, интелегентным. Должен понимать нужды граждан своего государства.
2. Политик, достойный уважения: В.Путин.
