Ход урока
T: Good morning! I am glad to greet our highly respected guests and pupils. We have gathered to hold a team competition so there are two teams in the classroom. The presentation will help us today. The theme is represented in slide 1 – “History and Civilizations”. You have gained a lot of knowledge on this theme.
First of all, you have been speaking about history, about ancient civilizations and their influence on our present life a lot. Secondly, you have written compositions on the themes: “Why is history taught in schools?”, “The most important invention of the humankind”, “Necessity is the mother of invention”. Moreover, you have made projects about different ancient civilizations and compared their achievements. That is why we are going to summarize the knowledge you’ve gained.
Now we are going to organize our competition according to the plan given in slide2. You have answer sheets and your results will be scored. So let’s start.
Reading and matching (group work)
T: To warm up at the beginning match some useful words with their definitions – the task is given in slide 3. Work in teams, think, discuss and give your variants.
SS: read, match and representatives from the groups give the definitions.
Key: 1 – c; 2 – d; 3 – b; 4 – e; 5 – a.
Speaking (monologue)
T: Well done! Now think why history is taught in schools. You will find some useful ideas in slide 4.
SS: Representatives from each team speak in turns. (Приложение 2)
Speaking (dialogue)
T: Thank you for your reasonable ideas concerning importance of the school subject. While studying history we shouldn’t forget about the role of museums. They can help you greatly, that is why the next task in slide 5 offers you to act the dialogue about the choice of museums.
SS: Pairs from each team role play the dialogue. (Приложение 3)
T: Thank you. It was a pleasure to listen to your dialogues. The choice of the museums you have made is reasonable.
Watching and speaking.
T: Now let’s have some fun. It is known that history has started since the prehistoric times. We are going to look back into the Stone Age and watch an episode from the comedy “The Flintstones” (slide 7). This time your task is to say what modern gadgets are represented in the film in a humorous way by design. Put ticks opposite the correct answers in your answer sheets. The task is also represented in Slide 6.
Group work
SS: Watch, do the task and speak about gadgets they’ve seen.
| a car | a bicycle | a train |

| a motorbike | a two-wheeled bicycle | a three-wheeled bicycle |
| a helicopter | a plane | a spaceship |
Keys: a car, drive-in-movie, a three-wheeled bicycle, a plane.
Group work
T: OK, having some fun let’s turn from prehistoric times to civilized world. I suggest that you should think about the definition of a civilization that you see in slide 8. There are some gaps in it, so discuss with your team and fill the gaps in your answer sheets with the words given.
Keys: 1 – advanced, 2 – art, 3 – religion, 3 – political.
SS: Fill the gaps and read the definition.
T: Thank you for your work. As far as the past is in the centre of our attention, look at the maps in slide 9 and match the ancient civilizations with the places of their location.
Group work: matching, speaking and checking. (Some clues are in slide 22)
SS: representatives of each team give answers.
Keys: 1 – the Egyptians; 2 – the Greeks; 3 – the Babylonians; 4 – the Romans, 5 – the Incas
T: Good work! You know the geographical location of these civilizations very well.
Now you will have another task. Representatives from each team, tell us, please, about achievements of some civilizations without giving their names. Geographical clues may be also given. The opposite team must guess the name of the civilization being described. You are given some ideas in slide 10.
Speaking (mini-monologues) – Приложение 4.
SS: Representatives of the teams describe achievements of some civilizations. Meanwhile their competitors guess the names of the civilizations.
T: You have coped with the task successfully.
Now the next task for the teams: think and distribute the items you see in Slides 11-13 according to their civilizations – Egyptian, Greek or Roman. Work and write the numbers in your answer sheets. It is interesting to see who will be the first.
SS: decide what civilizations the items belong to.
Keys: Egyptian – 5, 7, 11, 14; Greek – 1, 9 10 12, 13; Roman – 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 15.

Then let’s go further and compare ancient civilizations you know. Which of them are illustrated in slide 16? Share your ideas, please. I would like the teams to speak in turns.
Speaking (dialogues) – Приложение 5.
SS: compare civilizations and express their opinion about the most admired.
Group work:
T: Thank you for your opinions and now you are going to read in Ancient Egyptian in Slide 17. In your answer sheets you have the famous proverb written in hieroglyphics.

T: It is interesting information. However what do you think about necessity of inventions? Express your point of view on the question, please.
SS: Representatives of the teams express their opinions. (Приложение 7)
