K for kitchen, kettles’ croon, kith and kin expected soon,
S for sizzles, sights and sounds, and something special that abounds.

Ученики:
Do you know the story
Of the first Thanksgiving Day
Founded by our Pilgrim Fathers
In that time so far away?
They had given for religion
Wealth and comfort – yes, and more –
Left their homes and friends and children
For unknown barren shore.
We shall never know the terrors,
That they faced years ago,
But for all their struggles gave us,
We our gratitude can show.
And the children of New England
If they feast or praise or pray
Should bless God for those brave Pilgrims,
And their first Thanksgiving Day.
Pupil 2 Рассказ об истории праздника. С презентациями на проекторе
There is one day a year when all Americans stay home with their families and eat a big dinner. This is Thanksgiving Day. The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day in the fall of 1621. The Pilgrims sailed to America from Plymouth, England, in September, 1620. They came to America for religious freedom. They were among the first European settlers in America. The name of their ship was the Mayflower. They landed at Plymouth Rock, in what is now the state of Massachusetts in December, 1620.
At first, the passengers enjoyed good weather at sea. But soon, strong winds and fierce storms developed. Our ship, the Mayflower, began to shake and leak. Finally, one of the main beams broke. Some of the passengers and sailors were afraid the ship could not cross the ocean. They wanted to return to England. But others felt confident. “If we do not use all the sails, and if we repair the main beam, we will not sink,” they promised. So everyone put his trust in God, and they all decided to continue. After a long struggle with the sea, the Mayflower came to land. What a joy the Pilgrims had when they realized where they were!
There were people living in America before Jamestown was founded and the Pilgrims arrived. These people were the Native American Indians. The Indians began settling in America about 25,000 years ago. They hunted, fished, and farmed to survive. There were many regional groups, or tribes, and each had its own customs and beliefs.
The Pilgrims’ first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow any crops. Without fresh food, half of the Pilgrims died. The following spring the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, plant, and survive in America. The crops did well, and in the fall of 1621 the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate it with a Thanksgiving feast. They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans, and pumpkins. They invited their Indian friends to share this three-day feast. The Indians brought food to the feast, too (they even brought popcorn!). Americans still celebrate Thanksgiving Day in the fall. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. Turkey is still the main dish and pumpkin pie is the most popular dessert.
Pupil 3: traditions
Thanksgiving Day is associated with certain symbols and foods. Turkey is part of the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, since it is believed that the Pilgrims and Native Americans had turkey at their feast. Cranberries are also part of Thanksgiving dinner, probably because the Pilgrims had cranberries, which they found in the bogs around Plymouth. The cranberry, as it was called, was used for dye, as well as for food.
The horn of plenty, or the cornucopia, is a familiar Thanksgiving symbol. It is a symbol of the earth’s bounty, and reminds us that our food comes from the earth.
Indian corn is used as a decoration. The American Indians taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn, which the Pilgrims used to survive their first winter. To keep hostile tribes from knowing how many Pilgrims had died, the Pilgrims planted corn over graves. Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative. On most tables throughout the United States, foods eaten at the first Thanksgiving have become traditional.
Ведущий And now lets imagine what would happen if Sherlock Holmes would live in America and was going to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. ( Музыка из к\ф про Ш Холмса)
Накрытые стол, на столе накрытое крышкой блюдо. В комнате Шерлок и Ватсон.
- Good afternoon, Sherlock!
- Good afternoon, my friend! Glad to see you here today!
- Thank you, Holmes, thanks for your invitation. So, lets have a dinner. I was waiting for it as I know Mrs. Hudson cooks great!
- You are right. Lets have a dinner… (поднимает крышку блюда, удивлен) But, where is my turkey? I know it should be right here. I.. I don’t understand. Oh, its stolen, my turkey is stolen. And I, as the best detective in the world, must find it! (Встает, ходит по комнате, курит трубку, думает. Внезапно его осеняет.) Oh! I see, I know, it was Smith, awful thief and cheat. He doesn’t like me, he wanted to avenge me for everything. He knows that its my favourite dish. Oh, my poor turkey. I imagine as he gets into my dining room and eats my turkey. ( видео как Смит в маске вора проникает в комнату и ест индейку, довольный, посмеивается)
- No, Holmes, you are mistaken. He couldn’t do it as the police caught him recently and he is in a prison now. ( на видео к довольному Смиту подходит полицейский хлопает по плечу и уводит, оторвав от индейки)
- Hm, let me think. Who, who could take my turkey and why? Ходит, думает. Его осеняет. Of course, Watson, now I see. It was Tommy, our postman. He went to give me my letters, but..( идет видео и параллельно рассказ Холмса) he felt the wonderful smell of my turkey. He couldn’t pass by, opened the door, saw the turkey and… he ate it! Of course it was he. Call for Tommy and Ill unmask him. Ватсон выходит и заходит с Томми.
- Рассказ Томми и параллельно видео. Sir, it was not me. Sir, it was not me. Yes, I was here and I saw your turkey and it was really very-very nice. And I really wanted to try a bit, but Mrs. Hudson came in and she shouted and beaten me with her broom so I ran away as quickly as I can. Уходит
- See, Holmes. Poor boy, I believe him, he couldn’t do it.
- Ok, but who could? Ходит, думает, хлопает себя по лбу - I understand, its so easy, of course it was… Mrs. Hudson! (видео и параллельно его слова) She cooked a turkey, a nice, tasty, delicious turkey, the best in her life. And she wanted to cut it for us, but it was so tasty, so wonderful and she couldn’t help from trying a small piece. And one more piece, and more, and more so that she ate my turkey! Oh, its awful!
- My dear friend, I’m so sorry!
- Входит миссис Хадсон и начинает стыдить Холмса: You are here, Mr. Holmes! Shame of you! What are you going to do, how will you your friends who came to you? Показывает на зрителей. Холмс и Ватсон в недоумении смотрят друг на друга.
- What are you talking about?
- I’m talking about the turkey that you’ve eaten, Holmes. I’m shame of you, you’re like a baby!
- Me? But how? When? No, it was not me! Искренне не верит, не понимает.
- Видео и параллельно рассказ Миссис Хадсон: I did a nice turkey and put it on the table to become cold. I went out, then I heard a noise, I came in and saw Tommy who was going to eat your turkey. Of course I drove him away. And then you, Holmes, came in. You were reading a book and didn’t notice anything around you. ( на видео Она здоровается, говорит с ним, Холмс не замечает. Все время смотрит в книгу. Снимает шляпу, кладет на стул, садится на нее. Миссис Хадсон выдергивает шляпу, возмущается, отряхивает ее и уносит. Холмс, все время читая, начинает не глядя есть индейку, съедает и уходит все время глядя в книгу. Когда она заходит нет ни Холмса ни индейки) So when I came in the plate was empty you ate your turkey, Mr. Holmes! Она и Ватсон смотрят на Холмса ему стыдно.
- But, but… I don’t remember. Sorry, I’m so sorry! what should I do, I don’t have a turkey to treat you, my friends. Вспомнил, обрадовался. But I have sweets for you, help yourself! Thank you for your attention! Угощение ребят конфетами.
