Ход урока

Приветствие. Вступительное слово учителя. Good morning boys and girls! I’m glad to see you here. Today we are celebrating Columbus Day.

1. Ученик читает стихотворение (песня)

“In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue”.  Anonymous

2. Ученик рассказывает.

The 12th of October is Columbus Day. On this day in 1492 Christopher Columbus landed on the island which he named San Salvador. His journey was sponsored by King Ferdinand II and Queen Isabella of Spain who wanted to find a faster trade route to India.

At that time many people thought that our planet was flat.

The poem makes it easy to understand why people thought that the world was flat.

3. Ученик читает стихотворение “12 October”.

From where I stand now
the world is flat
flat out flat
no end to that.
Where my eyes go the land moves out.
How is it then
five hundred years ago (about)
Columbus found
that far beyond the flat on flat
the world was round?

4. Ученик рассказывает.

We don't know much about the man. He was born in Italy but lived in Spain for a long time. Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, hoping to find a route to India (in order to trade for spices). He was a seaman and made many sea voyages.

5. Ученик читает стихотворение.

Columbus, this song we sing to you,
Because in Fourteen Ninety-Two,
You found the world where we now live,
And so to you our thanks we give.

6. Ученик рассказывает и показывает макет корабля и картинки с кораблями.

Columbus decided to saile west as he was sure that our planet was round. He sailed on the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria and about 90 crew members.

They set sail on Aug. 3, 1492 from Palos, Spain, and on October 11, 1492, spotted the Caribbean islands off southeastern North America.

They landed on an island. Columbus later renamed it San Salvador. They were met by the local Indians, many of whom were captured by Columbus' men and later sold into slavery. Columbus thought he had made it to Asia, and called this area the Indies, and called its inhabitants Indians.

It was a new land — a new continent. It was America — Central America in fact. People began to speak about the land as "the New World".

7. Ученики (2 ученика) читают стихотворение или поют (в руках у одного ученика табличка с 1492г.) “Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue” to the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"

Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.
With three tall ships, 120 men,
sailing on, sailing on, sailing on, on, on, on -
Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.

He proved the earth was round, not flat, in 1492.
He proved the earth was round, not flat, in 1492.
With three tall ships, 120 men,
sailing on, sailing on, sailing on, on, on, on -
He proved the earth was round, not flat in 1492.

8. Ученик продолжает рассказ.

Columbus was looking for a faster route to the Far East (Asia) in order to trade for valuable spices. Instead, he found North America, after sailing for five weeks. The ship Santa Maria sank in Hispaniola, but the Nina and the Pinta both made it back to Spain.

 9. Ученик продолжает рассказ и показывает карту.

While exploring the islands looking for gold, Columbus' men traveled to the islands of Hispaniola (now divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Cuba, and many other smaller islands. On the return trip, the Santa Maria was wrecked sank.

10. Ученики исполняют песню Columbus’ First Voyage.

In 1492.
