Ход урока

I. Начало урока: Приветствие. Установка к уроку.

Teacher: Hello, everybody. I’ m happy to see you and our guests today at the lesson.

I’s no wonder that the 21st century is regarded as information age. The mass media we have spoken at the last lesson actually rule the world and play a very important role in our lives. They inform us what is going on in the world and give us wonderful possibilities for education and entertainment. But how do you understand the word “mass media”?

Pupils: The”mass media “ include newspapers and magazines, television, radio and Internet.

T.: What sources of information do you know else?

Ps.: They are books, encyclopaedias, dictionaries…

II. Stating the problem (Постановка проблемы).

T.: But the most common and traditional source of information is a newspaper. Do you agree with me? Many people can’t imagine their lives without them. They read newspapers in the transport, at breakfast, in the street and where not…. Newspapers can be print and electronic.

The most important problem for us today is making up our minds if it is real to find certain information with the help of newspapers. Imagine that you are students of a university or a college in Great Britain. You have a task to find information on some question in press. How do you think? Is it real?

P.: Yes, it does. No, it doesn`t.

T.: Well, we’ll see it at the end of the lesson. I propose to you some steps of solving this problem.
