V. Работа с лексикой.

T: A wise man said, “Life without books is as tree without leaves”. How can we understand this quotation?
I’m sure that if we don’t have books in our life, it will be as boring and gloomy as trees in autumn.
Now let us grow our “book tree” and put on leaves on it. (На листья, которые прикрепляются к дереву, написаны слова, обозначающие литературные жанры)

a detective story – детектив;
a historical story (novel) – исторический роман;
an adventure story – приключение;
a fairy tale – сказка;

a horror story – ужастик;
a biography (an autobiography) – (авто)биография;

T: Now let’s have a guessing game. Listen to the beginnings of different kinds of stories and try to guess what story it is, and why you think so. (Учащиеся слушают начало текстов и определяют, к какому жанру он принадлежит)

1. It was a dark and foggy night. We drove and drove. At midnight, just as we thought we were lost, we saw a light behind some trees. As we got nearer, we could see a house. It looked deserted, abandoned. We knocked on the heavy, wooden door. It opened slowly. A tall man dressed entirely in black stood there. "Good evening", he said in a slow, deep voice. "I've been expecting you".

2. We were traveling through deep space at the speed of light. Suddenly, the spaceship slowed down and immediately the system came into view. A bright star with twenty or more planets. One of these would be our new home, five light years from our own galaxy.

3. The man lay on the ground next to a white van. There was no doubt. He was dead. I quickly looked in the pockets of his jacket – some money; a handkerchief and a theatre ticket with a Chicago phone number written on it. Three murders in three weeks and the victims all killed in the same way.

5. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a beautiful princess. She was an only child and her father and mother, the king and queen, loved her very much. One day, an old woman came to the castle. When she saw the princess, she smiled and laughed in a strange and horrible way.

1. horror story;
2. science fiction;
3. detective story;
4. fairy tale.

VIII. Работа в парах

T: Now, imagine, please, that you are reporters, who have been asked to do research about the books people prefer to read. Ask each other questions.

(“Карусель”.

Способ работы: пары сменного состава.

Описание материала: вопросы записываются на доске. По мере смены партнеров (лучше после второй пары) вопросы по одному стираются с доски. Ученикам заранее дать установку на запоминание вопросов, чтобы они могли сами без опоры их задавать.

Порядок работы: дети сидят парами на двух рядах, внешние ряды остаются на местах, а внутренние меняют партнеров по часовой стрелке на одну парту вперед или назад.

Учитель сидит у первой парты и слушает рассказы.)

3. Have your read any books in English?
4. What was the last book you read?

В конце работы один учащийся может подвести итоги опроса.
