Представленный мною урок разработан по
учебнику «Spotlight» для учащихся 10 класса
общеобразовательной школы.
Урок является третьим в системе уроков восьмого
раздела учебника (Unit 8) и направлен на тренировку
и закрепление материала в цикле уроков по теме
«Изобретения, которые потрясли мир».
Познавательной целью урока являлось
знакомство учащихся с мнениями людей о высоких
технологиях.
Развивающей целью являлось развитие способности
к обобщению, развитие логичности и
доказательности.
Воспитательная цель урока – формирование
уважительного отношения к мнению другого
человека, потребности в высказывании
собственного мнения.
Учебная цель урока – совершенствование
монологической речи по теме.
Так как современные подростки хорошо
осведомлены в области новых технологий и
лексика, используемая на уроке, была изучена
ранее, на уроке была организована практика
учащихся в чтении текста по предложенной теме
с полным пониманием прочитанного и извлечением
заданной информации с последующим выходом в
устную монологическую речь по теме «High-Tech
Gadgets. What are pros and cons?».
Методы преподавания, активизации познавательной
деятельности учащихся, поддержания интереса и
внимания были выбраны с учетом подготовленности
класса (достаточно сильные учащиеся), личностных
и возрастных особенностей (подростки 16 лет
интересуются разнообразными техническими
средствами)
В уроке представлены примерные сообщения
нескольких учащихся о пользе современных
гаджетов (компьютер и мобильный телефон).
Одним из несомненных плюсов данного урока
является тот факт, что на уроке большую часть
времени говорили учащиеся. Они решали задачи,
используя активный лексический и грамматический
материал, опираясь на жизненный опыт.
Цель урока:
- совершенствование навыков чтения текста с полным пониманием прочитанного, развитие речевых навыков (монологическая речь) на основе прочитанного текста.
- развитие способности к обобщению, развитие логичности и доказательности;
- расширение кругозора учащихся в области высоких технологий и их применений, знакомство с мнениями людей о пользе новых технологий и их недостатках.
- формирование уважительного отношения к мнению другого человека, потребности в высказывании своего собственного мнения.
Технологии, применяемые на уроке: ТРКМ (технология развития критического мышления )
Оборудование: презентация «High-Tech Gadgets in Our Life», раздаточный материал.

Teacher: Do you think mobile phones are the garget you can not live without?
P1: Yes, I do. I have read a report in the newspaper about new gadgets
recently. They say that nowadays technology is helping families stay in touch like never
before. Instead of driving people apart, mobile phones and the Internet are helping them
to communicate. Many people use their phones to keep in touch and communicate with their
parents and children. It was found that 42% of parents contact their children via their
mobile every day.
But there is just an opposite point of view. Some people think that the growing use of
mobile phones, computers and the Internet means that the families no longer gather round
the TV to spend their time together. 25% of those who took part in the report said they
now spend less time watching television. Only 58% of 18-29 years olds said they watched TV
every day. Instead the research found that 52% of Internet users who live with their
families go online in the company of someone else several times a week.
P2: I quite agree with you, but as for me, I can’t imagine my life without a personal computer. It is so fast, convenient and reliable to work on a PC. It helps me in solving many routine problems and not only. Computer is extremely multifunctional appliance. Either it is a complex calculation of some mathematical tasks or large text word processing, Hi-Fi-quality music composing or high-definition video watching computer is a very useful and labor-saving gadget. I study on my PC, entertain myself during the free time. It is a great possibility to easily develop different skills yourself with the use of Internet, containing immeasurable amount of helpful information like encyclopedias, teaching programs, smart guides and much more. And all this is available only thanks to computers. It is a brilliant source of information!
IV. Этап рефлексии
T: Dear friends, you have worked well at our lesson. Now let s sum up what you have learned.
P1: Today we’ve spoken about people’s attitude towards different gadgets, we’ve read some interesting texts, listened to the opinions of the teenagers and express our own ideas about this question.
P2: I have learned that technology – especially consumer electronics – are some of the greatest advances currently being made available to all members of Russian society. They can make our jobs easier, get us information faster, and keep us connected with friends and family. But through all of this, children, like adults, are not immune from the "gotta have it now" syndrome. Before considering those big-ticket purchases, take a moment to weigh the pros and cons of the latest goodies to decide if they're right for your family!
T: You have to fill in the table showing pros and cons of new gadgets we spoke about at the lesson.
| Name of gadgets | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| Mobile phone | ||
| Computer | ||
T: My friends, I am greatly satisfied with your work. For the next
lesson I would like you to think about pros and cons of TV, cars and any household
appliance. Try to make a short presentation about this item.
See you soon!
